Increased Expression of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptors in the Solitary-Vagal Complex Blunts Renovascular Hypertension
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014-10-01)
Angiotensin II increases and decreases arterial pressure by acting at angiotensin type 1 and type 2 receptors, respectively. Renovascular hypertensive rats exhibit a high level of activity of the peripheral and central ...
Presence of angiotensin II and expression of angiotensin II type-2 receptor in human fallopian tube
(1998)
Objective: To determine the presence of angiotensin II and angiotensin II type-2 receptor subtype messenger RNA (mRNA) in human fallopian tube. Design: Frozen fallopian tubes were used for all studies. Setting: Procedures ...
Evidence for changes in the tachyphylactic property of recombinant angiotensin II AT(1) receptor expressed in CHO cells
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-03-29)
The manifestation of tachyphylaxis to angiotensin 11 in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the rat angiotensin II AT(1) receptor was investigated. the cells were transfected with a cDNA fragment containing the ...
Renin-angiotensin system as a potential target for new therapeutic approaches in Parkinson’s disease
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2017)
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 ...
Hypercholesterolemia modifies angiotensin II desensitisation and cross talk between α1-adrenoceptor and angiotensin AT1 receptor in rabbit aorta
(Elsevier Science, 2010-06)
This study characterised the effect of a hypercholesterolemic diet on the interactions of hormone receptors in the rabbit aorta, both in homologous desensitisation to angiotensin II and cross talk between α1-adrenoceptors ...
Isoflavone genistein inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme and alters the vascular responses to angiotensin I and bradykinin
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
Genistein produces antihypertensive and beneficial cardiovascular effects, although the mechanisms for these effects are not known. We examined whether genistein inhibits the in vivo responses to angiotensin I or enhances ...
Recent insights and therapeutic perspectives of angiotensin-(1-9) in the cardiovascular system
(2014)
Chronic RAS (renin-angiotensin system) activation by both AngII (angiotensin II) and aldosterone leads to hypertension and perpetuates a cascade of pro-hypertrophic, pro-inflammatory, pro-thrombotic and atherogenic effects ...
