Abstract
Angiotensinogen is produced in the brain, but its precise localization and the cells in the central nervous system producing it are unknown. We have performed a double staining test for angiotensinogen and glial fibrillary acidic protein in rat brain and report here that these proteins colocalize in astrocytes.
