Rapid Trio Exome Sequencing for Autosomal Recessive Renal Tubular Dysgenesis in Recurrent Oligohydramnios

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Oligohydramnios is not a rare prenatal finding. However, recurrent oligohydramnios is uncommon, and genetic etiology should be taken into consideration.

Structure and functions of angiotensinogen [PDF]

Hypertension Research, 2016
Angiotensinogen (AGT) is the sole precursor of all angiotensin peptides. Although AGT is generally considered as a passive substrate of the renin-angiotensin system, there is accumulating evidence that the regulation and functions of AGT are intricate.

Effects of aqueous saffron extract on glucoregulation as well as hepatic agt and TNF-α gene expression in rats subjected to sub-chronic stress

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2023
Background: Stress and saffron seem to affect glucoregulation mechanisms and insulin resistance in different ways. Impacts of the aqueous saffron extract were investigated on serum glucose levels, serum insulin levels, the homeostatic model assessment of

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.

Transient inhibition of angiotensinogen production in transgenic mice bearing an antisense angiotensinogen gene [PDF]

, 1995
Transient inhibition of angiotensinogen production in transgenic mice bearing an antisense angiotensinogen gene. Angiotensinogen is the precursor of the biologically active hormone angiotensin II.

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.

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 ...

Effects of Circulating and Local Uteroplacental Angiotensin II in Rat Pregnancy. [PDF]

, 2010
The renin-angiotensin (Ang) system is important during placental development. Dysregulation of the renin-Ang system is important in preeclampsia (PE). Female rats transgenic for the human angiotensinogen gene crossed with males transgenic for the human ...
