Chronological changes in levels of intracellular activated CM-H2DCFDA in the presence of angiotensin II receptor antagonists (Protocol 2). Acute response of H2O2 levels against angiotensin II stimulation in mesangial cells was significantly enhanced by administration of angiotensin II type 2 receptor antagonist (PD), but was significantly reduced by administration of angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist (RNH). Based on this result, angiotensin II-induced generation of oxidative stress in mesangial cells was suggested to be mediated by angiotensin II type 1 receptor. The error bar of each plot shows standard error. Abbreviations: Ang II, angiotensin II; M, mol/l; PD, angiotensin II type 2 receptor antagonist; RNH, angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist; s, second.
