Advances in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System: Relevance to Diabetic Nephropathy

The Scientific World Journal, 2008
Hypertension is now recognized as a key contributory factor to the development and progression of kidney disease in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The renin angiotensin system (RAS) and its effector molecule angiotensin II, in particular, have a range ...

Candesartan inhibits inflammation through an angiotensin II type 1 receptor independent way in human embryonic kidney epithelial cells

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019
: Besides stimulating vasoconstriction, Angiotensin II is also well known in inducing reactive oxygen species and promoting inflammatory phenotype switch via its type 1 receptor.

The angiotensin II receptors type 1 and 2 modulate astrocytes and their crosstalk with microglia and neurons in an in vitro model of ischemic stroke

BMC Neuroscience
Background Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type of the central nervous system and are fundamentally involved in homeostasis, neuroprotection, and synaptic plasticity.

AT1 Receptor Mediated Hypertensive Response to Ang II in the Nucleus Tractus Solitarii of Normotensive Rats Involves NO Dependent Local GABA Release

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
AimIt is well-established that angiotensin II exerts a dampening effect on the baroreflex within the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS), the principal brainstem site for termination of baroreceptor afferents and which is densely populated with gamma ...

The Effect of Endogenous Angiotensin II on Alveolar Fluid Clearance in Rats with Acute Lung Injury

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2012
BACKGROUND: In acute lung injury (ALI), angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a vital role in the stimulation of pulmonary permeability edema formation through the angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor.

Angiotensin II Directly Increases Endothelial Calcium and Nitric Oxide in Kidney and Brain Microvessels In Vivo With Reduced Efficacy in Hypertension

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The vasoconstrictor effects of angiotensin II via type 1 angiotensin II receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells are well established, but the direct effects of angiotensin II on vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in vivo and the mechanisms ...

Imidazole-Based AT₁ Receptor Ligands: Design, Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation

Molecules
The angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor is a key component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) and a validated target for cardiovascular and renal disorders. Developing small molecules with defined AT1 versus AT2 binding profiles remains important for
