Circulating renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system activity in cats with systemic hypertension or cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022
Background Activity of the circulating renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) has not been comprehensively characterized in cats with systemic hypertension (SH) or cardiomyopathy (CM), and the effects of furosemide or amlodipine treatment on the ...

G protein coupled receptors of the renin-angiotensin system: new targets against breast cancer?

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, with high potential for drug discovery. These receptors can be activated by a panel of different ligands including ions, hormones, small molecules and vasoactive ...

The Role of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System in the Heart and Lung: Focus on COVID-19

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) firstly considered as a cardiovascular circulating hormonal system, it is now accepted as a local tissue system that works synergistically or independently with the circulating one.

In vitro renin inhibition to prevent generation of angiotensins during determination of angiotensin I and II.

open access: yes, 1988
To prevent in vitro generation of angiotensins, the renin inhibitor CGP 29287 (CGP) was added to blood sampling tubes. Plasma immunoreactive angiotensin (ir-ANG) I and II were simultaneously measured by radioimmunoassay after rapid and quantitative ...

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Cardiac renin and angiotensins: uptake from plasma versus in situ synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The existence of a cardiac renin-angiotensin system, independent of the circulating renin-angiotensin system, is still controversial. We compared the tissue levels of renin-angiotensin system components in the heart with the levels in blood plasma in ...

Evaluating the involvement of autolysosomes in the nuclear translocation of fluorescent proteins

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Endogenously expressed fluorescent proteins can be degraded by autophagy and transported to cell nuclei via the nuclear pore complex. But in some cell lines, for example, HeLa cells which are positive for immunoreactivity of a receptor ligand, such as UCN I, in cell nuclei, fusion of autolysosome with the nuclear envelope is involved in the nuclear ...

Focus on Brain Angiotensin III and Aminopeptidase A in the Control of Hypertension

open access: yesInternational Journal of Hypertension, 2012
The classic renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was initially described as a hormone system designed to mediate cardiovascular and body water regulation. The discovery of a brain RAS composed of the necessary functional components (angiotensinogen, peptidases,
