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 ...

Adenoviral delivery of angiotensin-(1-7) or angiotensin-(1-9) inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via the mas or angiotensin Type 2 receptor [PDF]
, 2012 The counter-regulatory axis of the renin angiotensin system peptide angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] has been identified as a potential therapeutic target in cardiac remodelling, acting via the mas receptor.

Angiotensin II and the Heart [PDF]
Hypertension, 2000 Abstract—The active end product of the renin-angiotensin system, angiotensin II (Ang II), through the activation of specific Ang II receptors, regulates cardiac contractility, cell coupling, and impulse propagation and is involved in cardiac remodeling, growth, and apoptosis. We review these subjects, as well as the second messengers that are involved,

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 facilitates fibrogenic effect of TGF-β1 through enhancing the down-regulation of BAMBI caused by LPS: a new pro-fibrotic mechanism of angiotensin II. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Angiotensin II has progressively been considered to play an important role in the development of liver fibrosis, although the mechanism isn't fully understood.

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

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 ...

Neohesperidin Protects Angiotensin II-Induced Hypertension and Vascular Remodeling
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Vascular remodeling due to hypertension is one of the major health challenges facing countries around the world. Neohesperidin, a flavonoid glycoside found in citrus fruits, is an antioxidant.

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 ...
