Özet

Background: Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are known to express Ang II type I (AT1) receptor in cell cultures, suggesting the existence of local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in bone. This study was designed to investigate the effects of losartan as AT1 receptor blocker on ovariectomized rats' femur.
