Angiotensin II induces soluble fms-Like tyrosine kinase-1 release via calcineurin signaling pathway in pregnancy [PDF]

, 2007
Maternal endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia is associated with increased soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a circulating antagonist of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor.

Effects of telmisartan and ramipril on adiponectin and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF]

, 2008
<b>Background:</b> Adiponectin is secreted by adipose tissue and may play a role in cardiovascular disease. We examined adiponectin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who participated in the Telmisartan vs.

Roles and functions of Atp6ap2 in the brain

Neural Regeneration Research, 2018
The classical renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the body has been studied intensively in the last decades, since it is known that this system is involved in the regulation of blood pressure.

Effects of Circulating and Local Uteroplacental Angiotensin II in Rat Pregnancy. [PDF]

, 2010
The renin-angiotensin (Ang) system is important during placental development. Dysregulation of the renin-Ang system is important in preeclampsia (PE). Female rats transgenic for the human angiotensinogen gene crossed with males transgenic for the human ...

Neuroprotective effect of angiotensin II type 2 receptor during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion

Neural Regeneration Research, 2016
Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) activation has been shown to protect against stroke, but its precise mechanism remains poorly understood. We investigated whether the protective effect of AT2R against ischemia/reperfusion injury is mediated by the ...

Hypoxia-induced signaling in angiogenesis : role of mTOR, HIF and Angiotensin II [PDF]

, 2007
This thesis includes the work of four different projects I have been following during my time as a PhD student; (1) the characterization of mTOR-associated signaling and endothelial cell proliferation in response to hypoxia, and (2) identification of ...

Transgenic amplification of glucocorticoid action in adipose tissue causes high blood pressure in mice [PDF]

, 2003
Obesity is closely associated with the metabolic syndrome, a combination of disorders including insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.

Enhancement of Adipocyte Browning by Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockade. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
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.

Liver steatosis, cardiac and renal fibrosis, and hypertension in overweight rats: Angiotensin-(3–4)-sensitive hepatocardiorenal syndrome

Metabolism Open, 2022
Overweight/obesity is a growing pandemic that affects many organs and tissues. We have investigated whether a high-lipid diet provokes an imbalance between type 1 and type 2 angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors signaling, leading to liver alterations ...

The Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor in Brain Functions: An Update

International Journal of Hypertension, 2012
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is the main active product of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), mediating its action via two major receptors, namely, the Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptor and the type 2 (AT2) receptor.
