AGTR1 and pulmonary fibrosis: In this study, the anti-fibrotic effects of a more selective AT2R ligand, β-Pro7 angiotensin III (β-Pro7 Ang III), with >20,000-fold affinity for the AT2R over the AT1R, were compared with that of C21 or the currently used IPF medication, pirfenidone, in mice with bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
