Vasopressin: a possible link between hypoxia and hypertension

open access: yesExploration of Medicine, 2022
Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are frequently associated with transient and prolonged hypoxia, whereas hypoxia exerts pro-hypertensive effects, through stimulation of the sympathetic system and release of pressor endocrine factors.

Angiotensins and Huntington’s Disease: A Study on Immortalized Progenitor Striatal Cell Lines

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
Neurons from mouse models of Huntington’s disease (HD) exhibit altered electrophysiological properties, potentially contributing to neuronal dysfunction and neurodegeneration.

Inappropriate activation of the renin-angiotensin system improves cardiac tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats with late angiotensin II-dependent hypertension

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
The aim of the study was to clarify the role of the interplay between hypertension and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.

Postsynaptic α1-Adrenergic vasoconstriction is impaired in young patients with vasovagal syncope and is corrected by nitric oxide synthase inhibition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Syncope is a sudden transient loss of consciousness and postural tone with spontaneous recovery; the most common form is vasovagal syncope (VVS).

Rasd1 interacts with Ear2 (Nr2f6) to regulate renin transcription [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background The Rasd1 protein is a dexamethasone induced monomeric Ras-like G protein that oscillates in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Previous studies have shown that Rasd1 modulates multiple signaling cascades.

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 ...

Activation of the Human Angiotensin-(1-12)-Chymase Pathway in Rats With Human Angiotensinogen Gene Transcripts

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019
Angiotensin-(1-12) [Ang-(1-12)], an alternate substrate for tissue angiotensin II (Ang II) formation, underscores the importance of alternative renin-independent pathway(s) for the generation of angiotensins.

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.
