Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does [ In contrast to captopril and enalapril , losartan increase mortality of gerbils after carotid ligation ]?
Answer: In contrast to oral preadministration of enalapril and captopril that of losartan does not increase the mortality of the gerbil after unilateral carotid ligation in spite of the same decrease in systemic blood pressure. Although a lower mortality than in controls was not observed with losartan as in the princeps study of Fernandez, these data are consistent with the demonstration by this author that angiotensin II plays a critical protective role in acute ischemia probably by promoting collateral circulation recruitment through non-AT1 receptors stimulation.
Output (English): no
