Management of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors prior to major surgery: insights from the STOP-or-NOT trial. [PDF]
Strong recommendations on how to manage renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, before surgery are lacking because of a lack of evidence, which is mostly limited to data ...

Beyond the Circulating Renin–Angiotensin Aldosterone System [PDF]
The activation of the classical renin–angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) is known to be involved in the regulation of blood volume and blood pressure and plays an important role in cardiovascular pathology including hypertension and heart failure.

AMPK: a balancer of the renin–angiotensin system [PDF]
AbstractThe renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is undisputedly well-studied as one of the oldest and most critical regulators for arterial blood pressure, fluid volume, as well as renal function. In recent studies, RAS has also been implicated in the development of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and other diseases, and also involved in the regulation ...

Juxtaglomerular apparatus hyperplasia under dual angiotensin blockade. A footprint of adequate RAS inhibition or a concern for renal fibrosis? [PDF]
Background: Dual renin-angiotensin system blockade with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers has been advocated to minimize proteinuria. However, recent trials have questioned the renal safety of this approach.

Alamandine and Its Receptor MrgD Pair Up to Join the Protective Arm of the Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]
Only a few years ago, alamandine was found to be a member of the protective arm of the renin-angiotensin system. It turned out to be an endogenous ligand of the G protein-coupled receptor MrgD.

Effects of Circulating and Local Uteroplacental Angiotensin II in Rat Pregnancy. [PDF]
The renin-angiotensin (Ang) system is important during placental development. Dysregulation of the renin-Ang system is important in preeclampsia (PE). Female rats transgenic for the human angiotensinogen gene crossed with males transgenic for the human ...
