Angiotensin and angiotensin receptors in cartilaginous fishes

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2001
In mammals, a principal bioactive component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), angiotensin II (ANG II), is known to be vasopressor, dipsogenic, a stimulant of adrenocortical secretion and to control glomerular and renal tubular function. Historically, a RAS analogous to that found in mammals was thought to have first evolved in the bony fishes ...

Angiotensin in atherosclerosis

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2004
While it is well established that angiotensin II promotes cardiovascular and renal disorders, recent evidence has indicated a pivotal role in atherosclerotic disease which is distinguished by the central abnormality of lipid accumulation within the vascular wall.Studies published in the last year show that angiotensin II activity is increased in ...
