The associations of adipokines with selected markers of the renin-angiotensinogen-aldosterone system: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis. [PDF]

, 2015
Among obese individuals, increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity results in increased renin and aldosterone production, as well as renal tubular sodium reabsorption.

Urinary Angiotensinogen and Renin Excretion are Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2017
Background/Aims: Several studies sought to identify new biomarkers for chronic kidney disease (CKD). As the renal renin-angiotensin system is activated in CKD, urinary angiotensinogen or renin excretion may be suitable candidates.

Angiotensin II‐induced renal angiotensinogen formation is enhanced in mice lacking tumor necrosis factor‐alpha type 1 receptor

Physiological Reports, 2021
In hypertension induced by angiotensin II (AngII) administration with high salt (HS) intake, intrarenal angiotensinogen (AGT) and tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) levels increase.

Renin-Angiotensin System Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Are Associated with Bladder Cancer Risk

Current Oncology, 2021
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS), besides being a major regulator of blood pressure, is also involved in tumor angiogenesis. Emerging evidence suggests a correlation between the use of pharmacologic RAS inhibitors and a delay in urothelial bladder ...

Androgens and Hypertension in Men and Women: a Unifying View. [PDF]

, 2017
This review was designed to revaluate the androgen role on the mechanisms of hypertension and cardiovascular risks in both men and women. Sex steroids are involved in the regulation of blood pressure, but pathophysiological mechanism is not well ...

Inhibition of Trophoblast-Induced Spiral Artery Remodeling Reduces Placental Perfusion in Rat Pregnancy. [PDF]

, 2010
Rats harboring the human angiotensinogen and human renin genes develop preeclamptic features in pregnancy. The preeclamptic rats exhibit a deeper trophoblast invasion associated with a reduced resistance index by uterine Doppler.

Role of Local Renin Angiotensin System Activation on Blood Pressure and Residual Renal Function in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Turkish Journal of Nephrology, 2019
Objective: Several studies have shown that local renin–angiotensin system (RAS) activity in the kidneys may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and kidney damage in patients with chronic kidney disease.

The effect of chronic peripheral nesfatin-1 application on blood pressure in normal and chronic restraint stressed rats: Related with circulating level of blood pressure regulators [PDF]

, 2015
Nesfatin is a peptide secreted by peripheral tissues, central and peripheral nervous system. It is involved in the regulation of homeostasis. Although the effects of nesfatin-1 on nutrition have been studied widely in the literature, the mechanisms of ...

Overexpression of Intrarenal Renin-Angiotensin System in Human Acute Tubular Necrosis

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2016
Background/Aims: Acute tubular necrosis (ATN), a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), is associated with decreased survival and increased progression of chronic kidney disease.
