Differential regulation of the renin-angiotensin system by nicotine in WKY and SHR glia
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2008)
Given that (1) the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is compartmentalized within the central nervous system in neurons and glia (2) the major source of brain angiotensinogen is the glial cells, (3) the importance of RAS in ...
Alternative pathways for angiotensin II generation in the cardiovascular system
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2011)
The classical renin-angiotensin system (RAS) consists of enzymes and peptides that regulate blood pressure and electrolyte and fluid homeostasis. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is one of the most important and extensively studied ...
Remodelação cardíaca induzida pelo tabagismo (tabaquismo)
(2007-12-01)
Previous studies accomplished by our group suggest that tobacco smoke exposure results in cardiac remodeling, with progressive ventricular dysfunction. However, the mechanisms involved in this process are not known. ...
Impact of Renin-Angiotensin Aldosterone System Inhibition on Serum Potassium Levels among Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
(2017-08-01)
Background: The chronic use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blocker has been associated with hyperkalemia in patients with reduced renal function even after the initiation of hemodialysis. ...
Congenic strains reveal the effect of the renin gene on skeletal muscle angiogenesis induced by electrical stimulation
(Amer Physiological Soc, 2008-03-14)
Previous studies have indicated the importance of angiotensin II (ANG II) in skeletal muscle angiogenesis. The present study explored the effect of regulation of the renin gene on angiogenesis induced by electrical stimulation ...
Protective axis of the renin-angiotensin system in the brain
(Portland Press, 2014-09)
The RAS (renin-angiotensin system) is composed of two arms: the pressor arm containing AngII (angiotensin II)/ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme)/AT1Rs (AngII type 1 receptors), and the depressor arm represented by Ang-(1-7) ...
The role of renin-angiotensin system in the chronic allograft nephropathy: an immunohistochemical study
(2015)
Evidences suggest a role of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the development of chronic allograft injury. We correlated intrarenal angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin II (Angio II) and transforming growth factor ...
Inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system prevents seizures in a rat model of epilepsy
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2010)
The RAS (renin angiotensin system) is classically involved in BP (blood pressure) regulation and water electrolyte balance, and in the central nervous system it has been mostly associated with homoeostatic processes, such ...
