Hypertension in COVID-19, A Risk Factor for Infection or A Late Consequence? [PDF]

Cell Journal, 2022
There are a lot of data about the correlation of SARS-CoV-2 infection and hypertension (HTN), but most of themare in the increased risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with HTN. SARS-CoV-2 can interfere with host cellsthrough the renin-angiotensin

Facilitation of TRKB Activation by the Angiotensin II Receptor Type-2 (AT2R) Agonist C21

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Blockers of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) exert antidepressant-like effects by indirectly facilitating the activation of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R), which leads to increased surface expression and transactivation of tropomyosin ...

The Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor for Pain Control [PDF]

Cell, 2014
All well-known deleterious effects of angiotensin (Ang) II, including vasoconstriction, inflammation, water and salt retention, and vascular remodeling, are mediated via its type 1 (AT1) receptor. This explains why AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs) and inhibitors of Ang II synthesis, such as ACE inhibitors and renin inhibitors, are beneficial for ...

Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB): Is it Effective to Prevent Cerebral Malaria? [PDF]

Afro-Egyptian Journal of Infectious and Endemic Diseases
Cerebral malaria is a severe complication of plasmodium falciparum infection with 15-25% mortality rates. Sequestration of infected red blood cells disrupts the blood brain barried leading to irreversible brain damage, impacting quality of life.

Cardiovascular effects of the angiotensin type 2 receptor

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia (English Edition), 2014
The angiotensin type 2 receptor, AT2R, has been described as having opposite effects to the angiotensin type 1 receptor, AT1R. Although the quantities of the AT2R found in the adult are low, its expression rises in pathological situations. The AT2R has three major signaling pathways: activation of serine/threonine phosphatases (promoting apoptosis and ...

Protective Angiotensin Type 2 Receptors in the Brain and Hypertension [PDF]

Current Hypertension Reports, 2017
The goal of this review is to assess the evidence that activation of angiotensin type 2 receptors (AT2R) in the brain can lower blood pressure and possibly constitute an endogenous anti-hypertensive mechanism.Recent studies that detail the location of AT2R in the brain, particularly within or near cardiovascular control centers, mesh well with findings

Hypotensive Response to Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Stimulation in the Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla Requires Functional GABA-A Receptors

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Objectives: Angiotensin II, glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) interact within the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) and the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) modulating the central regulation of blood pressure and sympathetic tone.

Inhibition of (pro)renin Receptor Contributes to Renoprotective Effects of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockade in Diabetic Nephropathy

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Aims: Renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a pivotal role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1R) blockade elevates (pro)renin, which may bind to (pro)renin receptor (PRR) and exert receptor ...

The angiotensin II type 2 receptor in renal disease [PDF]

Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2009
Suppression of angiotensin II formation by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or blockade of the angiotensin II receptor by angiotensin receptor blockers is a powerful therapeutic strategy to slow the progression of renal disease. However, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers provide only

Advances in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System: Relevance to Diabetic Nephropathy

The Scientific World Journal, 2008
Hypertension is now recognized as a key contributory factor to the development and progression of kidney disease in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The renin angiotensin system (RAS) and its effector molecule angiotensin II, in particular, have a range ...
