Ventricular repolarization abnormality plays a crucial role in cardiac arrhythmia. Polymorphisms in renin—angiotensin system genes are associated with occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia. We previously demonstrated that subjects carrying the angiotensin

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Angiotensinogen – a marker of non-developing pregnancy
Objective: to investigate the effects of angiotensinogen on the endometrium in missed abortion. Materials and methods: a prospective cohort that included 212 women, 160 with missed abortion and 52 with progressing pregnancies at 6–12 weeks.

Angiotensinergic innervation of rat and human mesenteric resistant blood vessels [PDF]
In contrast to the current believe that angiotensin II (Ang II) only interacts with the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) as a circulating hormone, we document here the existence of an endogenous renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the sympathetic coeliac ...

Increased circulating ANG II and TNF-α represents important risk factors in obese Saudi adults with hypertension irrespective of diabetic status and BMI [PDF]
Central adiposity is a significant determinant of obesity-related hypertension risk, which may arise due to the pathogenic inflammatory nature of the abdominal fat depot.

BRADYKININOGEN, ANGIOTENSINOGEN AND KALLIDINOGEN [PDF]
The plasma globulins which produce the vasoactive polypeptides, bradykinin, kallidin and angiotensin, have been compared. After incubation of plasma with kallikrein and exhaustion of its kallidinogen, subsequent incubation with trypsin did not result in formation of bradykinin, showing that bradykininogen had also been exhausted and suggesting that ...

Structure and functions of angiotensinogen [PDF]
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.

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

The Effect of High Dose Total Body Irradiation on ACTH, Corticosterone, and Catecholamines in the Rat [PDF]
Total body irradiation (TBI) or partial body irradiation is a distinct risk of accidental, wartime, or terrorist events. Total body irradiation is also used as conditioning therapy before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
