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. ...

Renin-angiotensin system blockers and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which is responsible for the current coronavirus
disease 2019 pandemic, uses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as a gateway into host cells. In this
review, we summarize the ...
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. ...
Characterization of a Local Renin-Angiotensin System in Rat Gingival Tissue
(Amer Acad Periodontology, 2009-01-01)
Background: The systemic renin-angiotensin system (RAS) promotes the plasmatic production of angiotensin (Ang) II, which acts through interaction with specific receptors. There is growing evidence that local systems in ...
Some functional aspects of the renin-angiotensin system in the snake Bothrops jararaca
(Elsevier B.V., 1994-06-01)
Vasopressor and steroidogenic effects of synthetic angiotensin [Asn(1), Val(5)] AII and Bothrops jararaca crude renin were compared in anesthetized Bothrops jararaca snakes. While the intravenous infusion of [Asn(1), Val(5)] ...
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 ...

Functional evidence that the central renin-angiotensin system plays a role in the pressor response induced by central injection of carbachol
(1997-04-01)
We investigated the effects of losartan, an AT 1-receptor blocker, and ramipril, a converting enzyme inhibitor, on the pressor response induced by angiotensin II (ANG II) and carbachol (a cholinergic receptor agonist). ...
