Effect of Angiotensin II on Blood Flow in Acute and Chronically Inflamed Knee Joints of Rabbits: The Role of Nitric Oxide [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2009
Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) upregulationin stromal cells of joints affected by rheumatoid arthritismay lead to higher tissue angiotensin II that is a vasoconstrictorand mitogen factor.

In Vitro Effects of DuP 753, a Nonpeptide Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonist, on Human Platelets and Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]

, 2017
These experiments were designed to assess the ability of the new nonpeptide angiotensin II antagonist DuP 753 to inhibit the binding and, particularly, to antagonize the cellular response to angiotensin II in human platelets and primary cultures of rat ...

Therapy for Myhre Syndrome: Goals, Misconceptions, and Current Agents

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre Syndrome (MYHRS, MIM #139210) is a rare, multisystem connective tissue disorder caused by recurrent heterozygous gain‐of‐function pathogenic variants in the SMAD4 gene, a key player in TGF‐β signaling and a regulator of extracellular matrix homeostasis.

Impaired angiotensin II signaling in septic shock

Annals of Intensive Care
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest for the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in critically ill patients. Emerging data suggest that this vital homeostatic system, which plays a crucial role in maintaining systemic and renal hemodynamics ...

Mild hypothermia alleviates post-resuscitation cerebral injury in rats via modulating the balance of the renin–angiotensin system

Resuscitation Plus
Cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation represent a major cause of mortality. Cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury following Cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation leads to severe neurological deficits and significantly worsens patient

Tissue Angiotensin II Generating System by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Chymase

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
.: It had been believed that angiotensin II (Ang II) was produced by the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which was established in the 1950’s. After a while, people realized that the multiple functions of Ang II could not be explained by the conventional ...

A critical appraisal of the intrinsic pancreatic angiotensin-generating system [PDF]

, 2001
The pancreas is a relative newcomer to the stable of tissues with an intrinsic angiotensin-generating system. The involvement of this system in pancreatic activity will be dependent on the angiotensin-generating paths present in the pancreas and their ...

Beneficial Effect of Mas Receptor Deficiency on Vascular Cognitive Impairment in the Presence of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundThe classical renin‐angiotensin system is known as the angiotensin (Ang)‐converting enzyme/Ang II/Ang type 1 receptor axis, which induces various organ damage including cognitive decline.

Angiotensin II receptor signalling

Experimental Physiology, 2007
Angiotensin II plays a key role in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis. To correct body fluid deficits that occur during hypovolaemia, an animal needs to ingest both water and electrolytes. Thus, it is not surprising that angiotensin II, which is synthesized in response to hypovolaemia, acts centrally to increase both water and NaCl intake.
