Antihypertensive effects of angiotensin-(1-7) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 Accumulating evidence suggests that angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) is an important component of the renin-angiotensin system and that the actions of the peptide may either contribute to or oppose those of Ang II.

Cardiovascular actions of angiotensin-(1-7) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) is now considered to be a biologically active member of the renin-angiotensin system. The functions of Ang-(1-7) are often opposite to those attributed to the main effector component of the renin-angiotensin system, Ang II ...

Angiotensin 1–7 in an experimental septic shock model [PDF]
Critical Care, 2023 Background Alterations in the renin–angiotensin system have been implicated in the pathophysiology of septic shock. In particular, angiotensin 1–7 (Ang-(1–7)), an anti-inflammatory heptapeptide, has been hypothesized to have beneficial effects.

Angiotensin-(1-7) improves skeletal muscle regeneration [PDF]
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2023 Skeletal muscle possesses regenerative potential via satellite cells, compromised in muscular dystrophies leading to fibrosis and fat infiltration. Angiotensin II (Ang-II) is commonly associated with pathological states.

Renal actions of angiotensin-(1-7) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 The heptapeptide angiotensin-(1-7) is considered to be a biologically active endproduct of the renin-angiotensin system. This angiotensin, which is devoid of the most known actions of angiotensin II such as induction of drinking behavior and ...

Central angiotensin 1–7 triggers brown fat thermogenesis [PDF]
Physiological Reports, 2023 We tested the hypothesis that third ventricular (3V) injections of angiotensin 1–7 (Ang 1–7) increases thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT), and whether the Mas receptor mediates this response.

Pharmacological Effects of Angiotensin 1–7 on Venous Vascular Tone [PDF]
BiomedicinesBackground/Objectives: The ACE2/Ang-(1–7)/Mas receptor axis is a protective, counter-regulatory component of the RAAS that opposes Ang II/AT1R-mediated vasoconstriction.

Angiotensin-(1–7) Is a Modulator of the Human Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]
Hypertension, 1999 Abstract—The renin-angiotensin system is important for cardiovascular homeostasis. Currently, therapies for different cardiovascular diseases are based on inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) or angiotensin II receptor blockade. Inhibition of ACE blocks metabolism of angiotensin-(1–7) to angiotensin-(1–5) and can lead to elevation of ...

The ACE2/Angiotensin-(1–7)/MAS Axis of the Renin-Angiotensin System: Focus on Angiotensin-(1–7) [PDF]
Physiological Reviews, 2018 The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a key player in the control of the cardiovascular system and hydroelectrolyte balance, with an influence on organs and functions throughout the body. The classical view of this system saw it as a sequence of many enzymatic steps that culminate in the production of a single biologically active metabolite, the ...
