Advance in Research of Angiotensin II and Its Receptor and Malignant Tumor
Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2016 Angiotensin AngII, a linear small peptide,which is composed of eight amino acids, is the main effectors of renin-angiotensin systen (Renin-angiotensin system, RAS).

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 BackgroundThe significance of brain angiotensin II in Alzheimer disease (AD) is unclear. Methods and ResultsTo examine the role of brain angiotensin II in AD, intracerebroventricular angiotensin II infusion was performed on 5XFAD mice, a mouse model of ...

HYPERTENSION, 2019 The Ang II (Angiotensin II)-Angiotensin-(1-7) axis of the Renin Angiotensin System encompasses 3 enzymes that form Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] directly from Ang II: ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), PRCP (prolylcarboxypeptidase), and POP ...

Angiotensin II and Renal Fibrosis [PDF]
Hypertension, 2001 Abstract — — Angiotensin (Ang) II, the main peptide of the renin angiotensin system (RAS), is a renal growth factor, inducing hyperplasia/hypertrophy depending on the cell type. This vasoactive peptide activates mesangial and tubular cells and interstitial fibroblasts, increasing the ...

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015 Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a zinc carboxypeptidase involved in the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and inactivates the potent vasopressive peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) by removing the C-terminal phenylalanine residue to yield Ang1-7 ...

The hyperglycemia induced by angiotensin II in rats is mediated by AT1 receptors
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 We have shown that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in glucose homeostasis during acute hemorrhage. Since almost all of the physiological actions described for angiotensin II were mediated by AT1 receptors, the present experiments were ...

Analysis of the Vasorelaxant Action of Angiotensin II in the Isolated Rat Renal Artery
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008 Taking into consideration that mechanisms involved in the vasodilatator actions of angiotensin II have not yet been completely elucidated, the present study was undertaken in order to examine the mechanisms underlying the angiotensin II–induced ...
