Local angiotensin II promotes adipogenic differentiation of human adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells through type 2 angiotensin receptor

Stem Cell Research, 2017
Obesity is often associated with high systemic and local activity of renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Mesenchymal stem cells of adipose tissue are the main source of adipocytes.

Roles of Brain Angiotensin II in Cognitive Function and Dementia

International Journal of Hypertension, 2012
The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been highlighted as having a pathological role in stroke, dementia, and neurodegenerative disease. Particularly, in dementia, epidemiological studies indicate a preventive effect of RAS blockade on cognitive ...

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

The role of the classical renin–angiotensin system and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2/Ang(1–7)/Mas axis in pulmonary fibrosis

Frontiers in Medicine
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a progressive and fatal disease, is characterized by fibroblast proliferation, excessive extracellular matrix deposition, and collagen synthesis. These pathological changes lead to impaired lung structure and function, ultimately

Acute Urinary Bladder Distension Triggers ICAM-1-mediated Renal Oxidative Injury via the Norepinephrine–renin–angiotensin II System in Rats

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2009
Acute urinary bladder distension (AUBD) can activate bladder mechanical afferent and renal sympathetic nerves, which contributes to renal vasoconstriction.

[Renal hemodynamic effect of angiotensin II type 2 receptor].

Nihon Jinzo Gakkai shi, 2001
In the present study, the role of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor in the regulation of medullary blood flow in conscious Spontaneous Hypertensive Rats(SHR) was investigated. We tested the hypothesis that AT2 receptor activation may exert the opposite effects of AT1 receptors in terms of renal hemodynamics.
