Outcomes in Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases: Real‐World Data From the ILD‐PRO Registry

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective We evaluated baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease–associated progressive pulmonary fibrosis (SARD‐PPF) and evaluated whether outcomes differed by SARD subtype. Methods The ILD‐PRO Registry is a prospective multicenter US registry of patients with PPF.

Internalization of Constitutively Active N111G Mutant of AT1 Receptor Induced by Angiotensin II–Receptor Antagonists Candesartan, Losartan, and Telmisartan: Comparison With Valsartan

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Based on radioligand binding and signal transduction assays in our previous study, we have determined the binding pattern and functional efficacy of the constitutively active mutant N111G of angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor.

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Angiotensin II and Cardiovascular Disease: Balancing Pathogenic and Protective Pathways [PDF]

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a hormone system that controls blood pressure and fluid and electrolyte balance. Angiotensin II, a key effector, is produced from angiotensin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and exerts its ...

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Acute Urinary Bladder Distension Triggers ICAM-1-mediated Renal Oxidative Injury via the Norepinephrine–renin–angiotensin II System in Rats

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2009
Acute urinary bladder distension (AUBD) can activate bladder mechanical afferent and renal sympathetic nerves, which contributes to renal vasoconstriction.

Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Antibodies and Increased Angiotensin II Sensitivity in Pregnant Rats

HYPERTENSION, 2011
Pregnant women who subsequently develop preeclampsia are highly sensitive to infused angiotensin (Ang) II; the sensitivity persists postpartum. Activating autoantibodies against the Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptor are present in preeclampsia.
