Angiotensins Inhibit Cell Growth in GH3 Lactosomatotroph Pituitary Tumor Cell Culture: A Possible Involvement of the p44/42 and p38 MAPK Pathways

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
The local renin-angiotensin system is present in the pituitary. We investigated the effects of angiotensins on GH3 lactosomatotroph cells proliferation in vitro and the involvement of p44/42 and p38 MAPK inhibitors in the growth-regulatory effects of ...

THE INFLUENCE OF TISSUE ANGIOTENSINS ON ELEMENTS OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM (LECTURE 2)

Байкальский медицинский журнал
Relevance. One of the main causes of death according to the World Health Organization is cardiovascular diseases. It is well known that dysregulation and/or overexpression of elements of the renin-angiotensin system leads to many negative vascular ...

THE INFLUENCE OF TISSUE ANGIOTENSINS ON ELEMENTS OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM (LECTURE)

Байкальский медицинский журнал
Relevance. The renin-angiotensin system is today one of the oldest and most studied peptide cascades. Understanding the operation of this system is an urgent task for study in medical higher education institutions.

Other angiotensins

, 2016
Besides the major role of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), other angiotensin peptides with different lengths were recently discovered to be biologically active and they possess individual receptors and signaling pathways.

New angiotensins

Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2008
Accumulation of a large body of evidence during the past two decades testifies to the complexity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The incorporation of novel enzymatic pathways, resulting peptides, and their corresponding receptors into the biochemical cascade of the RAS provides a better understanding of its role in the regulation of ...

A role for the brain RAS in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has available the necessary functional components to produce the active ligands angiotensins II, III, IV, angiotensin (1-7), and angiotensin (3-7).

Children With Short Stature Display Reduced ACE2 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
BackgroundThe cause of short stature remains often unknown. The renin-angiotensin system contributes to growth regulation. Several groups reported that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-knockout mice weighed less than controls.

Regulation of the renal proximal tubule second sodium pump by angiotensins

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
For several years it was believed that angiotensin II (Ang II) alone mediated the effects of the renin-angiotensin system. However, it has been observed that other peptides of this system, such as angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), present biological ...

Applied and Integrative Endocrinology Case: A 31-Year-Old Woman With Shortness of Breath, Chest Pain, Nausea, and Dizziness

MedEdPORTAL, 2012
This case describes a 31-year-old woman with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The pathogenesis of her OHSS results in the development of a constellation of cardiopulmonary and body fluid imbalances.
