Role of the ACE2/Angiotensin 1-7 Axis of the Renin-Angiotensin System in Heart Failure [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) remains the most common cause of death and disability, and a major economic burden, in industrialized nations. Physiological, pharmacological, and clinical studies have demonstrated that activation of the renin-angiotensin system is a ...

Angiotensin II and VEGF are Involved in Angiogenesis Induced by Short-Term Exercise Training [PDF]
Results from our laboratory have suggested a pathway involving angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in angiogenesis induced by electrical stimulation.

Antihypertensive Mechanism of Lactoferrin-Derived Peptides: Angiotensin Receptor Blocking Effect [PDF]
Texto del artículo, no incluye figuras ni tablas.Looking for antihypertensive mechanisms beyond ACE inhibition, we assessed whether lactoferrin (LF)-derived peptides can act as receptor blockers to inhibit vasoconstriction induced by angiotensin II or ...

Studies on the structure-function relationship of angiotensin II type 1 receptor [PDF]
Angiotensin II(Ang II), a biologically active peptide in the reninangiotensin system (RAS), plays an important role in the maintenance of blood pressure and fluid osmolarity[1,2,3].

Angiotensin AT1 Receptor-associated protein Arap1 in the Kidney Vasculature is Suppressed by Angiotensin II [PDF]
Arap1 is a protein that interacts with angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors and facilitates increased AT1 receptor surface expression in vitro. In the present study, we assessed the tissue localization and regulation of Arap1 in vivo.

Measurement of Converting Enzyme Activity by Antibody-Trapping of Generated Angiotensin II: Comparison With Two Other Methods [PDF]
Activity of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is usually measured in vitro by estimation of products cleaved by the enzyme from synthetic substrates.
