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).

Bioactive angiotensin peptides: focus on angiotensin IV [PDF]
Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2001 JRAAS 2001;2:205-10 Introduction The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was initially identified as a circulating humoral system with the effector peptide,angiotensin II (Ang II),generated by an enzymatic cascade. Angiotensinogen, which is synthesised in the liver, is cleaved by renin,a product of the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney, to form ...

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.

Distribution of a novel binding site for angiotensins II and III in mouse tissues
Regulatory Peptides, 2010 A novel binding site for angiotensins II and III that is unmasked by parachloromercuribenzoate has been reported in rat, mouse and human brains. Initial studies of this binding site indicate that it is not expressed in the adrenal, liver or kidney of the

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 ...
