Contractile force is enhanced in Aortas from pendrin null mice due to stimulation of angiotensin II-dependent signaling. [PDF]
Pendrin is a Cl-/HCO3- exchanger expressed in the apical regions of renal intercalated cells. Following pendrin gene ablation, blood pressure falls, in part, from reduced renal NaCl absorption.

Angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9): function in cardiac and vascular remodeling [PDF]
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is integral to cardiovascular physiology, however, dysregulation of this system largely contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Independent beta-arrestin 2 and G protein-mediated pathways for angiotensin II activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2. [PDF]
Stimulation of a mutant angiotensin type 1A receptor (DRY/AAY) with angiotensin II (Ang II) or of a wild-type receptor with an Ang II analog ([sarcosine1,Ile4,Ile8]Ang II) fails to activate classical heterotrimeric G protein signaling but does lead to ...

ANGIOTENSIN II RECEPTOR TYPE 1 EXPRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIFOCAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Local expression of rennin-angiotensin system (RAS) components significantly increases in patients with arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis with or without elevation of RAS activity in the blood.

Immunohistochemical expression of intrarenal renin angiotensin system components in response to tempol in rats fed a high salt diet [PDF]
AIM:To determine the effect of tempol in normal rats fed high salt on arterial pressure and the balance between antagonist components of the renal renin-angiotensin system.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with 8% NaCl high-salt (HS) or 0.4% NaCl ...

Enhancement of Adipocyte Browning by Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockade. [PDF]
Browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) has been highlighted as a new possible therapeutic target for obesity, diabetes and lipid metabolic disorders, because WAT browning could increase energy expenditure and reduce adiposity.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade prevent cardiac remodeling in pigs after myocardial infarction: role of tissue angiotensin II [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of renin-angiotensin system blockade after myocardial infarction (MI) are not fully elucidated but may include interference with tissue angiotensin II (Ang II).

Mechanisms With Clinical Implications for Atrial Fibrillation–Associated Remodeling: Cathepsin K Expression, Regulation, and Therapeutic Target and Biomarker [PDF]
Background: The cysteine protease cathepsin K (CatK) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. We sought to determine the link between atrial fibrillation (AF) and plasma CatK levels and to investigate the expression of and ...

Hypertension: Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Alterations [PDF]
Blockers of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), that is, renin inhibitors, angiotensin (Ang)-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, Ang II type 1 receptor antagonists, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, are a cornerstone in the ...
