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) reverses experimental hypertension and cardiovascular damage by inhibition of the angiotensin converting enzyme/Ang II axis
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2014)
BACKGROUND:: Little is known about the biological effects of angiotensin-(1-9), but available evidence shows that angiotensin-(1-9) has beneficial effects in preventing/ameliorating cardiovascular remodeling. OBJECTIVE:: ...
Recent insights and therapeutic perspectives of angiotensin-(1-9) in the cardiovascular system
(Portland Press Ltd, 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 ...
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 ...
Synthesis and expression of functional angiotensin II receptors in Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain mRNA.
(1987)
Xenopus laevis oocytes were injected with poly(A)+ mRNA isolated from rat brain and superfused in a medium containing either serotonin, angiotensin II or bradykinin. Applications of serotonin or angiotensin II to injected ...
L-type calcium channel β subunit modulates angiotensin II responses in cardiomyocytes
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2011)
Angiotensin II regulation of L-type calcium currents in cardiac muscle is controversial and the underlying signaling events are not completely understood. Moreover, the possible role of auxiliary subunit composition of the ...
Regulatory role of angiotensin II on progesterone production by cultured human granulosa cells. Expression of angiotensin II type-2 receptor
(1997)
The role of angiotensin II (Angll) in ovarian steroidogenesis is not clearly understood. In order to study its action on progesterone synthesis and to determine which receptor subtype is involved, granulosa cells obtained ...
