Upregulation of NADH/NADPH oxidase 4 by angiotensin II induces podocyte apoptosis [PDF]
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2023 Background Angiotensin II induces glomerular and podocyte injury via systemic and local vasoconstrictive or non-hemodynamic effects including oxidative stress. The release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from podocytes may participate in the development

Receptor Interactions of Angiotensin II and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers—Relevance to COVID-19
Biomolecules, 2021 Angiotensin II (Ang II) may contain a charge relay system (CRS) involving Tyr/His/carboxylate, which creates a tyrosinate anion for receptor activation. Energy calculations were carried out to determine the preferred geometry for the CRS in the presence ...

Does activation of the protective Renin-Angiotensin System have therapeutic potential in COVID-19?
Molecular Medicine, 2020 Infection of lung cells by the corona virus results in a loss of the balance between, on the one hand, angiotensin II-mediated stimulation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor and, on the other hand, stimulation of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor and/

Temporal profile and mechanisms of the prompt sympathoexcitation following coronary ligation in Wistar rats [PDF]
, 2014 Our aim was to assess the timing and mechanisms of the sympathoexcitation that occurs immediately after coronary ligation. We recorded thoracic sympathetic (tSNA) and phrenic activities, heart rate (HR) and perfusion pressure in Wistar rats subjected to ...

Receptors | Angiotensin Receptors
, 2021 The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) is a vital hormone-receptor system that regulates cardiovascular and renal functions. In this article, we discuss exciting new findings in the RAS field. Recently solved active state crystal structures of Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1R) and type 2 receptor (AT2R) helped in understanding receptor activation ...

Potential harmful effects of discontinuing ACE-inhibitors and ARBs in COVID-19 patients
eLife, 2020 The discovery of angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) as the receptor for SARS- CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) has implicated the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ...

Isoflavone daidzein ameliorates renal dysfunction and fibrosis in a postmenopausal rat model: Intermediation of angiotensin AT1 and Mas receptors and microRNAs 33a and 27a [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2022 Objective(s): Chronic kidney disease (CKD), accompanied by renal dysfunction, fibrosis, and apoptosis, is highly prevalent in postmenopausal women. We tested the hypothesis that isoflavone daidzein may ameliorate renal dysfunction and fibrosis through ...
