Dengue is a disease caused by a flavivirus that is transmitted principally by the bite of an Aedes aegypti mosquito and represents a major public-health problem. Many studies have been carried out to identify soluble factors that are involved in the pathogenesis of this infection.

The Angiotensin II Receptor and the Actions of Angiotensin II
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1990Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a potent effector peptide of the renin-angiotensin system that exerts a wide variety of physiological actions on the cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, and central and peripheral nervous systems. Angiotensin exerts its actions by binding to specific receptors in the plasma membrane of various tissues.

Conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II
Nature, 1967Results obtained with the blood bathed organ technique indicate that angiotensin I is converted rapidly to angiotensin II in the pulmonary circulation and not by an enzyme in the blood.

Inflammation and angiotensin II
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2003Angiotensin II (AngII), the major effector peptide of renin-angiotensin system (RAS), is now recognized as a growth factor that regulates cell growth and fibrosis, besides being a physiological mediator restoring circulatory integrity. In the last few years, a large number of experimental studies has further demonstrated that AngII is involved in key ...

Angiotensin II and atherosclerosis
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2001Numerous clinical and laboratory data are now available supporting the hypothesis that the renin-angiotensin system is mechanistically relevant in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The traditional role of the renin-angiotensin system in the context of blood pressure regulation has been modified to incorporate the concept that angiotensin II (Ang II)

Conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II
The American Journal of Medicine, 1976The angiotensin I converting enzyme has two important functions: it inactivates bradykinin and converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Inhibition of the enzyme blocks the renin-angiotensin system and decreases systemic blood pressure if the pressure is maintained or increased by renin. The enzyme occurs in a variety of tissues and cell forms.

Biological activities of asn1-,val5-angiotensin II (Hypertensin, Ciba, Asn1-,Val5-ANG II), ile5-angiotensin II (human angiotensin II, Ile5-ANG II) and sar1-angiotensin II (Sar1-ANG II) were compared in man. In 7 normal men 5 pmol/kg X min each of Asn1-,Val5-ANG II, Ile5-ANG II and Sar1-ANG II was infused iv from 0900 h to 0930 h at 1-week intervals ...

CONVERSION OF ANGIOTENSIN I TO ANGIOTENSIN II IN SHEEP
Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1978SUMMARY1. The methodology for measurement of angiotensin I in whole blood is described.2. Angiotensin I was measured in arterial and venous blood samples from sodium‐loaded, sodium‐replete and sodium‐depleted sheep. Venous blood concentrations were higher than arterial angiotensin I concentrations.

Effect of angiotensin II infusion on glomerular angiotensin II receptor in rats
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 1986Previous studies by other investigators have shown that sodium depletion causes down-regulation of angiotensin II receptors in renal glomeruli, which is ascribed to elevation of circulating angiotensin II levels. The present study was designed to determine whether elevation of circulating angiotensin II levels alone can down-regulate its own receptors ...
