Indeed, by modulating Ang-(1–7) and Mas receptor, an ACE inhibitor olmesartan exerts cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in the experimental autoimmune myocarditis model through decreasing the phosphorylation of p38MAPK, extracellular signalregulated kinase (ERK) and jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways63. Here, ANG is linked to autoimmune myocarditis.
