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 ...
Renin-angiotensin system as a potential target for new therapeutic approaches in Parkinson’s disease
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2017)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Angiotensin-(1-9) reduces cardiovascular and renal inflammation in experimental renin-independent hypertension
(Elsevier Inc., 2018)
© 2018 Elsevier Inc. Hypertension-induced cardiovascular and renal damage can be mediated by activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. There are different factors beyond renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system ...
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 ...
