Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and its potential protective effect upon heart

Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2018
To circumvent the major threats of low blood volume and low blood pressure, animals need powerful mechanisms for salt and water conservation, which is renin–angiotensin system (RAS).

Role of Nonclassical Renin-angiotensin system Axis In Renal Fibrosis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is a major regulator of renal fibrosis. Besides the classical renin/Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/angiotensin II (Ang II)/AT1 and AT2 axis, multiple new axes have been recently described.

The vascular renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

, 2001
PhDThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is one of the major regulators of blood pressure. The actions and generation of RAAS components at the tissue level are less well appreciated.

Sodium status and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition: effects on plasma angiotensin-(1-7) in healthy man

, 2005
Objective Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors provide effective intervention for cardiovascular and renal disease. Changes in angiotensin-(1-7) have been proposed to be involved in the mechanism of action of ACE inhibition (ACEi).

Angiotensin-(1-7)-Induced Renal Vasodilation in Hypertensive Humans Is Attenuated by Low Sodium Intake and Angiotensin II Co-Infusion

, 2013
Current evidence suggests that angiotensin-(1-7) plays an important role in the regulation of tissue blood flow. This evidence, however, is restricted to studies in animals and human forearm. Therefore, we studied the effects of intrarenal angiotensin-(1-

The role of the classical renin–angiotensin system and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2/Ang(1–7)/Mas axis in pulmonary fibrosis

Frontiers in Medicine
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a progressive and fatal disease, is characterized by fibroblast proliferation, excessive extracellular matrix deposition, and collagen synthesis. These pathological changes lead to impaired lung structure and function, ultimately

Angiotensin-(1-7) and Its Effects in the Kidney

The Scientific World Journal, 2009
Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-[1-7]) is a heptapeptide member of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), and acts as a vasodilator and antagonist of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the vasculature.

Differential actions of angiotensin-(1-7) in the kidney

, 1998
Differential actions of angiotensin-(1-7) in the kidney. Angiotensin-(1-7) is a bioactive component of the renin-angiotensin system that is endogenously formed in the circulation and various tissues by several enzymatic pathways from either angiotensin ...
