Role of protein kinase C in renal vasoconstriction caused by angiotensin II [PDF]
, 1990 In this study we have examined the subcellar pathways along which angiotensin II (ANG II) causes renal vasoconstriction. Using the isolated perfused rat kidney model, we found that renal vasoconstriction produced by ANG II (100 pM) was not altered by the

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 ...

The vascular renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system [PDF]
, 2001 PhDThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is one of the major regulators of blood pressure. The actions and generation of RAAS components at the tissue level are less well appreciated.

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 ...

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1993 Acute blockade of the renin-angiotensin system with the parenterally active angiotensin II antagonist saralasin has been shown to effectively lower blood pressure in a large fraction of patients with essential hypertension and to improve hemodynamics in some patients with congestive heart failure.

The structure of testis angiotensin-converting enzyme (tACE-g13) in complex with the inhibitor RXPA380 [PDF]
, 2006 Includes bibliographical references.Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), a zinc metalloprotease, is a key regulator of the mammalian renin-angiotensin system (RAS) Primarily, ACF is a dipeptidl peptidase which cleaves angiotensin I to produce angiotensin

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).

Angiotensin II and Erythropoiesis.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1963 Summary1. Polycythemic mice and hypophysectomized rats were used as assay animals to measure the erythropoietic stimulating activity of synthetic angiotensin II (A-S) and of angiotensin II made from a crude extract of the hog kidney (A-CE). 2. No increase in erythropoietic activity, as measured by the red blood cell incorporation of Fe59, was found ...

Hypoxia-induced signaling in angiogenesis : role of mTOR, HIF and Angiotensin II [PDF]
, 2007 This thesis includes the work of four different projects I have been following during my time as a PhD student; (1) the characterization of mTOR-associated signaling and endothelial cell proliferation in response to hypoxia, and (2) identification of ...

, 1997 The renin-angiotensin system has been implicated in vascular function and disease. Angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensin II are believed to be the most important components. However, alternative factors, such as angiotensin-I/II-(1-7) and chymase,
