Pathological Role of Angiotensin II in Severe COVID-19
TH Open, 2020 The activated renin–angiotensin system induces a prothrombotic state resulting from the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis. Angiotensin II is the central effector molecule of the activated renin–angiotensin system and is degraded by the ...

Temporal profile and mechanisms of the prompt sympathoexcitation following coronary ligation in Wistar rats [PDF]
, 2014 Our aim was to assess the timing and mechanisms of the sympathoexcitation that occurs immediately after coronary ligation. We recorded thoracic sympathetic (tSNA) and phrenic activities, heart rate (HR) and perfusion pressure in Wistar rats subjected to ...
