Drug treatment of hypertension: focus on vascular health [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hypertension, the most common preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death, is a growing health burden. Serious cardiovascular complications result from target organ damage including cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, ischaemic heart

Angiotensin II receptor signalling

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, 2007
Angiotensin II plays a key role in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis. To correct body fluid deficits that occur during hypovolaemia, an animal needs to ingest both water and electrolytes. Thus, it is not surprising that angiotensin II, which is synthesized in response to hypovolaemia, acts centrally to increase both water and NaCl intake.

Angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9): function in cardiac and vascular remodeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is integral to cardiovascular physiology, however, dysregulation of this system largely contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Emerging pharmacological treatments to prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm growth and rupture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a local expansion of the abdominal aorta wall caused by a complex multifactorial maladaptive vascular remodeling. Despite recent advances in the management of cardiovascular diseases, there currently is no established ...

Angiotensins and Huntington’s Disease: A Study on Immortalized Progenitor Striatal Cell Lines

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
Neurons from mouse models of Huntington’s disease (HD) exhibit altered electrophysiological properties, potentially contributing to neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration.

Perivascular adipose tissue inflammation in vascular disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. In vascular pathologies, perivascular adipose tissue increases in volume and becomes dysfunctional, with altered cellular composition and molecular ...

Pharmacological effects of raas blockade in ischemic nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: The management of ischemic nephropathy due to atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis has become increasingly conservative in the modern era, with current guidelines recommending optimized medical therapy as the initial step.

Expression and localization of the AT1 and AT2 angiotensin II receptors and α1A and α1D adrenergic receptors in aorta of hypertensive and diabetic rats

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2017
Hypertension and diabetes are multifactorial diseases that frequently coexist and exacerbate each another. During the development of diabetes, the impairment of noradrenergic and renin-angiotensin systems has been reported in the response mediated by α1 ...
