Regulation of the renal proximal tubule second sodium pump by angiotensins
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001 For several years it was believed that angiotensin II (Ang II) alone mediated the effects of the renin-angiotensin system. However, it has been observed that other peptides of this system, such as angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), present biological ...

Effect of a stable Angiotensin-(1-7) analogue on progenitor cell recruitment and cardiovascular function post myocardial infarction [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Angiotensin-(1-7) improves cardiac function and remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). This may involve recruitment of hematopoietic progenitor cells that support angiogenesis. However, angiotensin-(1-7) is rapidly metabolized in plasma

Evaluation of analgesic activity of perindopril in albino mice
Journal of Advanced Pharmaceutical Technology & Research, 2014 The aim was to evaluate the analgesic activity of perindopril in chemical, thermal and mechanical pain on Swiss albino mice. A total of 54 albino mice (Swiss strain) weighing 25-30 g were allocated to each experimental model and in each model there were ...

Attenuation of Focal Cerebral Ischemic Injury Following Post Ischemic Inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Normotensive Rat [PDF]
Central renin angiotensin system has an important role on the cerebral microcirculation and metabolism. Our previous work showed that inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity prior to induction of ischemia protected the brain from ...

Enhanced expression of Ang-(1-7) during pregnancy
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004 Pregnancy is a physiological condition characterized by a progressive increase of the different components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The physiological consequences of the stimulated RAS in normal pregnancy are incompletely understood, and ...

An orally active formulation of angiotensin-(1-7) produces an antithrombotic effect
Clinics, 2011 INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The heptapeptide angiotensin-(1-7) is a component of the renin-angiotensin system, which promotes many beneficial cardiovascular effects, including antithrombotic activity. We have recently shown that the antithrombotic effect

Modulation of the renin-angiotensin system against COVID-19: A path forward?
International Journal of Infectious DiseasesSoon after the pandemic outbreak in 2020, it was proposed that binding of SARS-CoV-2 to the angiotensin converting enzyme-2 may explain most of COVID-19’s manifestations.

Effect of Melatonin on the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System in l-NAME-Induced Hypertension
Molecules, 2018 The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a dominant player in several cardiovascular pathologies. This study investigated whether alterations induced by l-NAME, (NLG)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, and the ...
