Endothelin-1 Drives Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition In Hypertensive Nephroangiosclerosis [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Tubulointerstitial fibrosis, the final outcome of most kidney diseases, involves activation of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). Endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) activates EMT in cancer cells, but it is not known whether it drives EMT in the kidney.

Angiotensin-(1-7) increases osmotic water permeability in isolated toad skin [PDF]
, 2000 Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) increased osmotic water permeability in the isolated toad skin, a tissue with functional properties similar to those of the distal mammalian nephron. Concentrations of 0.1 to 10 μM were effective, with a peak at 20 min. This

Journal of Lipid Research, 2018 In pancreatic β cells, ABCA1, a 254 kDa membrane protein, affects cholesterol homeostasis and insulin secretion. Angiotensin II, as the main effector of the renin–angiotensin system, decreases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS).

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 ...

Angiotensin II as an Inducer of Atherosclerosis: Evidence from Mouse Studies [PDF]
, 2013 Mechanisms responsible for atherosclerotic plaque development, destabilization, and rupture are still largely unknown. Angiotensin II, the main bioactive peptide of renin angiotensin system, has been shown to be critically involved in the pathogenesis of

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 ...

Conversion and degradation of [125I] labelled angiotensin I in isolated perfused porcine coronary and carotid arteries [PDF]
, 1994 The aims were (1) to quantitate angiotensin I to II conversion on the endothelial surface and at deeper sites in isolated arteries, (2) to assess whether the angiotensin II that is formed at deeper sites is released into the vascular lumen, and (3) to ...

Newly identified NO-sensor guanylyl cyclase/connexin 43 association is involved in cardiac electrical function [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Guanylyl cyclase, a heme-containing alpha 1 beta 1 heterodimer (GC1), produces cGMP in response to Nitric oxide (NO) stimulation. The NO-GC1-cGMP pathway negatively regulates cardiomyocyte contractility and protects against cardiac ...
