ANGIOTENSIN HYPERTENSION

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1998
SUMMARY1. One of the most important issues in the field of hypertension research centres on the therapeutic use of inhibitors of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS). Inhibitors of the RAS have potent anti‐hypertensive effects, even in experimental models of hypertension and in human essential hypertension, where the activity of the peripheral RAS is low

Human Leukocytes Contain Angiotensin I, Angiotensin II and Angiotensin Metabolites

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 1994
Angiotensin I (ANG I) and angiotensin II (ANG II) were measured radioimmunologically in human leukocytes extracted with a mixture of acetone, 1N HCl and water (40:1:10 vol). The analytical recoveries of 125I-ANG I and 125I-ANG II, which were added prior to extraction, were 92.00 +/- 3.10 and 99.19 +/- 0.91% (mean +/- SEM; n = 12).

Is the adrenal angiotensin receptor angiotensin II — or angiotensin III like?

Acta Endocrinologica, 1983
Abstract. In order to determine whether the adrenal receptor is primarily directed at angiotensin II (All) or angiotensin III (AIII) the following in vitro experiments were performed examining aldosterone responsiveness in isolated glomerulosa cells.

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 (1-7) and other Angiotensin Peptides

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2013
In the classical renin angiotensin system (RAS), angiotensin II Ang IIplays many important roles in cardiovascular disease and in kidney, brain, and other organs via the Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1). The RAS consists of many angiotensin peptides, including Ang (1-7), Ang (1-9), Ang (2-8), and Ang IV. Ang (1-7), produced by angiotensin-converting enzyme

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition, Angiotensin, and Cognition

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992
In these studies, we have investigated possible cognition-enhancing effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, and putative neurochemical correlates for these actions. In a mouse habituation model, ACE inhibitors improved basal performance and antagonized scopolamine-induced deficits.

Conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II

Nature, 1967
Results obtained with the blood bathed organ technique indicate that angiotensin I is converted rapidly to angiotensin II in the pulmonary circulation and not by an enzyme in the blood.
