The systemic renin-angiotensin system in COVID-19 [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 SARS-CoV-2 gains cell entry via angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2, a membrane-bound enzyme of the “alternative” (alt) renin-angiotensin system (RAS). ACE2 counteracts angiotensin II by converting it to potentially protective angiotensin 1–7.

Periodontopathogens degrade angiotensin I from the human renin–angiotensin system through surface-attached proteases [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe renin–angiotensin system (RAS) has its effects through biologically-active peptides, the angiotensins (Ang). The angiotensinogen-derived precursor, Ang I, is cleaved either to proinflammatory Ang II, which increases blood pressure or to Ang 1–7 ...

The role of the angiotensins in the pathogenesis of inflammatory joint disease
Терапевтический архив, 2021 The significant humoral effect of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system on the regulation of the cardiovascular system and blood pressure has long been widely known. However, the identification and interpretation of new components of renin-angiotensin-

Different modulatory effects of ammonium ions on angiotensin vascular actions in isolated rat aortic and renal arteries [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012 In the present study, we were interested in the vascular effects of angiotensin II on perfused rings of the rat thoracic aorta and renal artery. Our results demonstrated different modulator alterations of these preparations induced by ammonium ions ...
