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. ...

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). ...
Modulation of the action of insulin by angiotensin-(1-7)
(Portland Press, 2014-05)
The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus is predicted to increase dramatically over the coming years and the clinical implications and healthcare costs from this disease are overwhelming. In many cases, this pathological ...
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) ...
Diversity of pathways for intracellular angiotensin II synthesis
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009-01-01)
Purpose of reviewThe renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has undergone continuous advancement since the initial identification of renin as a pressor agent. Traditionally considered a circulatory system, the RAS is now known to ...
Aerobic Exercise Training-Induced Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Involves Regulatory MicroRNAs, Decreased Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-Angiotensin II, and Synergistic Regulation of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2-Angiotensin (1-7)
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2011)
Aerobic exercise training leads to a physiological, nonpathological left ventricular hypertrophy; however, the underlying biochemical and molecular mechanisms of physiological left ventricular hypertrophy are unknown. The ...
