Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) - the major receptor for SARS-CoV-2 virus [PDF]

Farmacja Polska, 2021
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) plays a significant role in the regulation of the water and electrolyte balance. Renin from the kidneys converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the conversion

Renal Denervation Influences Angiotensin II Types 1 and 2 Receptors

International Journal of Nephrology, 2022
The sympathetic and renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) are two critical regulatory systems in the kidney which affect renal hemodynamics and function. These two systems interact with each other so that angiotensin II (Ang II) has the presynaptic effect on ...

Estrogen Metabolite 2-Methoxyestradiol Attenuates Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Rats by Downregulating Angiotensin Type 1 Receptor

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The therapeutic potential of 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2) is evident in cardiovascular disease. Our laboratory has previously demonstrated the mechanism involved in the 2ME2 regulation of angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) in vitro. However, 2ME2 regulation

The Role of Angiotensin II and Cyclic AMP in Alveolar Active Sodium Transport. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Active alveolar fluid clearance is important in keeping airspaces free of edema. Angiotensin II plays a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, heart failure and others.

Angiotensin Ii Receptor Blockers [PDF]

Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2003
The ARBs have very similar clinical profiles. They do, however, have different pharmacokinetic profiles, which may lead to some differences in efficacy. The newer agents irbesartan, candesartan, telmisartan, and olmesartan have longer half-lives and durations of action than the older agents losartan and valsartan (5).

Role of the ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis in glucose metabolism [PDF]

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) helps to regulate cardiovascular function, the maintenance of electrolyte and fluid balance, and blood pressure. The RAS contains two axes; the angiotensin-converting enzyme/angiotensin II/Ang II type 1 receptors ...

Potential use of angiotensin receptor blockers in skin pathologies [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2023
Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components such as angiotensin II, angiotensin receptors (AT1R and AT2R), and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) are expressed in different cell types of the skin.

From Living in Saltwater to a Scarcity of Salt and Water, and Then an Overabundance of Salt—The Biological Roller Coaster to Which the Renin–Angiotensin System Has Had to Adapt: An Editorial

Biomedicines, 2023
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a hormone with much more complex actions than is typical for other agonists with heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [...]

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 ...

Human Angiotensin II Receptors are Regulated By Angiotensin II

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension. Part A: Theory and Practice, 1988
Specific angiotensin II (ANG II) binding on human platelets in man was measured to examine ANG II receptor regulation in man. Eight normal volunteers received either a high, or a low sodium diet, or a low sodium diet together with the ANG I converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril.
