Metabolism of Angiotensin-(1–7) by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme [PDF]
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors augment circulating levels of the vasodilator peptide angiotensin-(1–7) [Ang-(1–7)] in man and animals. Increased concentrations of the peptide may contribute to the antihypertensive effects associated with ACE inhibitors.

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

In the last decade, a substantial change in our understanding of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) occurred.1,2 It is now clear that the circulating and tissue RAS are far more complex than previously anticipated. The modern concept of the RAS includes, in addition to the classical components (renin, angiotensin [Ang]-converting enzyme [ACE], Ang II ...

Natriuretic action of angiotensin(1–7) [PDF]
Evidence that angiotensin (1–7) (Ang(1–7)) is biologically active and can be synthesized by the kidney prompted us to examine its actions in the rat, isolated kidney. Ang(1–7) had three major effects producing, (1) a substantial natriuresis and diuresis, (2) an increase in urinary sodium concentration associated with a fall in potassium concentration ...

Angiotensin II induces soluble fms-Like tyrosine kinase-1 release via calcineurin signaling pathway in pregnancy [PDF]
Maternal endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia is associated with increased soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a circulating antagonist of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor.

Renin-Angiotensin System: A Review of Historical Perspectives
The article is a review of publications concerning historical perspectives of the renin-angiotensin system. The discovery of its components is presented in chronological order, beginning with the initial identification of renin and proceeding to the ...
