Astrocytes express AT1 and AT2 receptors. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 compared different experimental groups as marked by horizontal bar; graphs depict mean values ± standard error of the mean (SEM). A Expression of AT1A and AT1B on primary rat astrocytes (control) compared to HEK293 cells on mRNA-level measured by RT-qPCR. B Expression of angiotensin II receptor, type 2 (AT2) on primary rat astrocytes (control) compared to HEK293 cells
