The angiotensin II type 2 receptor and the gastrointestinal tract

Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2009
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is well known for its vital involvement in body fluid homeostasis and circulation. However, very little research has been devoted to the impact of this regulatory system on the gastrointestinal (GI) system.

Assessment of cardiac hemodynamics indicators in patients with arterial hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease depending on angiotensin II type 1 receptor A1166C gene polymorphism

Zaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal, 2018
Aim of study is to estimate the indicators of cardiac hemodynamics in patients with arterial hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease depending on angiotensin II type 1 receptor (A1166C) gene polymorphism. Materials and methods.

Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Gene Transfer Downregulates Angiotensin II Type 1a Receptor in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]

Hypertension, 2002
Two distinct subtypes of angiotensin (Ang) II receptors, type 1 (AT 1 ) and type 2 (AT 2 ), have been identified. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) usually express AT 1 receptor. To elucidate the direct effects of the AT 2 receptor on the AT

Post-stroke angiotensin II type 2 receptor activation provides long-term neuroprotection in aged rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Activation of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) by administration of Compound 21 (C21), a selective AT2R agonist, induces neuroprotection in models of ischemic stroke in young adult animals.

Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Antibodies in Glomerular Diseases

Archivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis
Abstract We evaluated the concentration of AT2R antibodies in 136 patients with primary and secondary glomerular diseases: membranous nephropathy (n = 18), focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (n = 25), systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 17), immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (n = 14), mesangial (non-IgA) proliferative nephropathy ...

Cardiomyocyte autophagy is regulated by angiotensin II type 1 and type 2 receptors [PDF]

Autophagy, 2009
Autophagic activity increases in the heart in response to a variety of stresses including hypertension, ischemia and neonatal starvation. Constitutive autophagy plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis in the heart, whereas unrestrained autophagic activity accentuates the maladaptive cardiac remodeling response to stress (e.g.,

The angiotensin type 2 receptor of angiotensin II and neuronal differentiation: from observations to mechanisms [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2003
The angiotensin II (Ang II) type 2 receptor (AT(2)) is a member of the seven-transmembrane domain, G-protein coupled receptor family. This receptor is ubiquitously distributed in the fetus but, in most tIssues, its expression dramatically falls in the first few hours after birth.

Renal Angiotensin Type 2 Receptors Mediate Natriuresis Via Angiotensin III in the Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor–Blocked Rat [PDF]

Hypertension, 2006
Whereas angiotensin (Ang) II is the major effector peptide of the renin–angiotensin system, its metabolite, des-aspartyl1-Ang II (Ang III), may also have biologic activity. We investigated the effects of renal interstitial (RI) administration of candesartan (CAND), a specific Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1) blocker, with and without coinfusion of PD ...

Presence of angiotensin II and expression of angiotensin II type-2 receptor in human fallopian tube

Fertility and Sterility, 1998
To determine the presence of angiotensin II and angiotensin II type-2 receptor subtype messenger RNA (mRNA) in human fallopian tube.Frozen fallopian tubes were used for all studies.Procedures were performed at the Institute of Maternal and Child Research, School of Medicine, University of Chile and San Borja-Arriarán Clinical Hospital, National Health ...
