Pathological Role of Angiotensin II in Severe COVID-19
TH Open, 2020 The activated renin–angiotensin system induces a prothrombotic state resulting from the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis. Angiotensin II is the central effector molecule of the activated renin–angiotensin system and is degraded by the ...

Is Covid-19 severity associated with ACE2 degradation? [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Covid-19 is particularly mild with children, and its severity escalates with age. Several theories have been proposed to explain these facts. In particular, it was proposed that the lower expression of the viral receptor ACE2 in children protects them from severe Covid.

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.

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 ...

Grace periods in comparative effectiveness studies of sustained treatments [PDF]
, 2022 Researchers are often interested in estimating the effect of sustained use of a treatment on a health outcome. However, adherence to strict treatment protocols can be challenging for individuals in practice and, when non-adherence is expected, estimates of the effect of sustained use may not be useful for decision making.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A new dual‐layer hydrogel barrier for preventing postoperative abdominal adhesions is developed. The inner layer, consisting of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and thioctic acid (TA), enhanced adhesion to moist tissues. The outer layer combines zwitterionic, thermoresponsive hyaluronic acid with anti‐inflammatory epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and forms a ...

Mathematical model of SARS-Cov-2 propagation versus ACE2 fits COVID-19 lethality across age and sex and predicts that of SARS, supporting possible therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The fatality rate of Covid-19 escalates with age and is larger in men than women. I show that these variations correlate strongly with the level of the viral receptor protein ACE2 in rat lungs, which is consistent with the still limited and apparently contradictory data on human ACE2.

Role of angiotensin II in aging
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 Aging is an inevitable progressive decline in physiological organ function that increases the chance of disease and death. The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in the regulation of vasoconstriction, fluid homeostasis, cell growth, fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. In recent years, unprecedented advancement has been made in the RAS

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.High glucose‐ and acid‐responsive hydrogel with dynamic covalent bond solubilized with flavonoids (Gel‐Flavonoids) is designed for diabetic wound healing. The Gel‐Flavonoids adapt to irregular wound shapes and release antioxidants in high‐glucose environments, effectively reducing reactive oxygen species.
