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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 II (Ang II) non-peptide antagonists were injected i.c.v. (6.25-200 nmol, n = 5-8 rats/group): In sodium replete rats, losartan (AT1 receptor antagonist) induced an increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and ...
