Angiotensin II Stimulates Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) Expression by Human Vascular Endothelial Cells and Increases Soluble ICAM-1 Release In Vivo

Ang II upregulates ICAM-1 expression by HUVECs and stimulates in vitro and in vivo soluble ICAM-1 release. AT(1) receptor blockade inhibits such endothelial effects of Ang II.
