Angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9): function in cardiac and vascular remodeling [PDF]
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is integral to cardiovascular physiology, however, dysregulation of this system largely contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

BackgroundThe classical renin‐angiotensin system is known as the angiotensin (Ang)‐converting enzyme/Ang II/Ang type 1 receptor axis, which induces various organ damage including cognitive decline.

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a major component of the renin–angiotensin or renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, which is the main element found to be involved in cardiopathology.

Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers [PDF]
In the 1970s, a series of observations demonstrated that angiotensin II has deleterious effects on the heart and kidney and that patients with high levels of plasma renin activity are at a higher risk of developing stroke or myocardial infarction than those with low plasma renin activity.1 2 Thereafter, the development of pharmacological probes that ...

ANGIOTENSIN II RECEPTOR TYPE 1 EXPRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIFOCAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Local expression of rennin-angiotensin system (RAS) components significantly increases in patients with arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis with or without elevation of RAS activity in the blood.

Divergent Spatiotemporal Interaction of Angiotensin Receptor Blocking Drugs with Angiotensin Type 1 Receptor [PDF]
Crystal structures of the human angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) complex with the antihypertensive agent ZD7155 (PDB id: 4YAY ) and the blood pressure medication Benicar (PDB id: 4ZUD ) showed that binding poses of both antagonists are similar. This finding implies that clinically used angiotensin receptor blocking (ARB) drugs may interact in a ...

Mechanisms With Clinical Implications for Atrial Fibrillation–Associated Remodeling: Cathepsin K Expression, Regulation, and Therapeutic Target and Biomarker [PDF]
Background: The cysteine protease cathepsin K (CatK) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. We sought to determine the link between atrial fibrillation (AF) and plasma CatK levels and to investigate the expression of and ...

Immunohistochemical expression of intrarenal renin angiotensin system components in response to tempol in rats fed a high salt diet [PDF]
AIM:To determine the effect of tempol in normal rats fed high salt on arterial pressure and the balance between antagonist components of the renal renin-angiotensin system.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with 8% NaCl high-salt (HS) or 0.4% NaCl ...
