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.

Role of the angiotensin II type-2 receptor in radiation nephropathy [PDF]

Translational Research, 2007
Experimental studies have shown that blockade of the angiotensin II type-1 (AT(1)) receptor is effective in the mitigation and treatment of radiation-induced chronic renal failure. Also, blockade of the angiotensin II type-2 (AT(2)) receptor with PD-123319 also had a modest, but reproducible, beneficial effect in experimental radiation nephropathy, and

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.

Severe loss-of-function mutations in the adrenocorticotropin receptor (ACTHR, MC2R) can be found in patients diagnosed with salt-losing adrenal hypoplasia [PDF]

, 2007
Objective Familial glucocorticoid deficiency type I (FGD1) is a rare form of primary adrenal insufficiency resulting from recessive mutations in the ACTH receptor (MC2R, MC2R).

Localization of Type-2 Angiotensin II Receptor in Adrenal Gland [PDF]

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2010
The localization of the type-2 angiotensin II receptor (AT2) in the adrenal glands of rats, guinea pigs, bovines, and humans was examined at the mRNA and protein levels. PCR products for AT2 were detected in the adrenal cortices and adrenal medullae of all the mammals examined with an RT-PCR technique.

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 ...

Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists alleviate muscle pathology in the mouse model for laminin-alpha2-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (MDC1A) [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Laminin-alpha2-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (MDC1A) is a severe muscle-wasting disease for which no curative treatment is available.

Effect of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockade on Cardiac Remodeling in Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Null Mice [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2002
To clarify the possible involvement of uninhibited angiotensin II (Ang II) type 2 (AT 2 ) receptor stimulation in the effects of an Ang II type 1 (AT 1 ) receptor blocker, valsartan, we examined the cardiovascular remodeling induced by aortic banding with the use of wild-type ...

The angiotensin II type 2 receptor and the kidney

Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2009
Recent knowledge demonstrated that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) functions as a local renal paracrine system. All components of the RAS are present within the kidney and include angiotensinogen, renin, angiotensin I, angiotensin-converting enzymes, angiotensin II, the angiotensin II type 1 (AT 1

Oxidative DNA damage in kidneys and heart of hypertensive mice is prevented by blocking angiotensin II and aldosterone receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Recently, we could show that angiotensin II, the reactive peptide of the blood pressure-regulating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system, causes the formation of reactive oxygen species and DNA damage in kidneys and hearts of hypertensive ...
