Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2: SARS-CoV-2 Receptor and Regulator of the Renin-Angiotensin System
Circulation Research, 2020 ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) has a multiplicity of physiological roles that revolve around its trivalent function: a negative regulator of the renin-angiotensin system, facilitator of amino acid transport, and the severe acute respiratory ...

Effects of Vasodepressor vs. Vasopressor Arms of Renin Angiotensin System on Renal Hemodynamic Regulation in Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury; Sex Difference [PDF]
مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2022 The exact mechanisms involved in acute renal injury (AKI) due to renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) are not fully understood, although it has been shown that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may play an important role in IR-associated AKI.
