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)

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 ...

Physiological and pathological roles of Ang II and Ang- (1-7) in the female reproductive system

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The local Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) has been demonstrated to exist in a wide range of tissues and organs, In the female reproductive system, it is mainly found in the ovary, uterus and placenta.

Effect of angiotensin receptor blockers and angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 on plasma equilibrium angiotensin peptide concentrations in cats with heart disease

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021
Background Little is known about the effect of renin angiotensin aldosterone system‐inhibiting (RAASi) drugs on alternative angiotensin peptides (APs) such as angiotensin 1‐7 (Ang1‐7), which are mediated by angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2 ...

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Ang-(1-7) Bone-Targeting Conjugate in an Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis Rat Model

Pharmaceuticals, 2022
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition of synovial joints that causes disability and systemic complications. Ang-(1-7), one of the main peptides in the renin-angiotensin (Ang) system (RAS), imposes its protective effects through ...

The vascular renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system [PDF]

, 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.

Adenoviral delivery of angiotensin-(1-7) or angiotensin-(1-9) inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via the mas or angiotensin Type 2 receptor [PDF]

, 2012
The counter-regulatory axis of the renin angiotensin system peptide angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] has been identified as a potential therapeutic target in cardiac remodelling, acting via the mas receptor.

Astroglia are a possible cellular substrate of angiotensin(1-7) effects in the rostral ventrolateral medulla [PDF]

, 2010
AIMS: Angiotensin(1-7) (Ang1-7) acting at the level of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) affects arterial pressure. The cellular substrate of Ang1-7 remains unknown.
