Interaction Between the Angiotensin-(1–7) Mas Receptor and the Dopamine D2 Receptor [PDF]

open access: yesHypertension, 2021
Ang (angiotensin) 1–7 MasR (Mas receptor) and D2R (dopamine D2 receptor) stimulation is coupled to anti-inflammatory responses. In the present work, we investigated the hypothesis that the anti-inflammatory action mediated by both receptors results from MasR-D2R heteromerization. Human monocyte (THP-1) cells differentiated to macrophages and exposed to

Lateral Preoptic Area Neurons Activated by Angiotensin-(1–7) Increase Intravesical Pressure: A Novel Feature in Central Micturition Control

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Central micturition control and urine storage involve a multisynaptic neuronal circuit for the efferent control of the urinary bladder. Electrical stimulation of the lateral preoptic area (LPA) at the level of the decussation of the anterior commissure ...

The MA Helix Is Important for Receptor Assembly and Function in the α4β2 nACh Receptor

open access: yesMembranes, 2023
Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems of vertebrates and modulate many aspects of human health and disease. Recent structural and computational data indicate that cation-selective pLGICs contain a long helical extension (MA) of one of the transmembrane helices. The MA helix has

Alterações cardiovasculares induzidas por fenilefrina em animais Knockout para o receptor Mas

open access: green, 2011
Sympathetic activation is modulated by adrenergic receptors and stimulation of these receptors by excessive circulating catecholamines causes cardiac remodeling, with consequent deterioration of myocardial function. It is known that the Renin-Angiotensin
