Renin-angiotensin system as a potential target for new therapeutic approaches in Parkinson’s disease
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2017)
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Modulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in sepsis: a new therapeutic approach?
(Informa Healthcare, 2010-01-01)
Importance of the field: Severe sepsis is characterized by relative hypotension associated with a high cardiac output, peripheral vasodilation, and organ dysfunction. the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is ...
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). ...
The use of renin angiotensin system inhibitor on mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: and Aims; To investigate the association between use of angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) and outcomes of hypertensive COVID-19 patients, a
systematic review ...
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 ...
Dissociation between the circulating renin-angiotensin system and angiotensin II receptors in central losartan-induced hypertension
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 2002-09-01)
Losartan, an AT1 angiotensin II (ANG II) receptor non-peptide antagonist, induces an increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) when injected intracerebroventricularly (icv) into rats. The present study investigated possible ...
