Influence of Captopril Treatment of Plasma Renin Activity � Mathematical Model
Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2010 A model of the dynamics of plasma renin activity under the influence of various doses of captopril is formulated. The influence of captopril on renin angiotensin system is different from the effects of the other studied drugs nifedipine and nicardipine.

Pathological Role of Angiotensin II in Severe COVID-19
TH Open, 2020 The activated renin–angiotensin system induces a prothrombotic state resulting from the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis. Angiotensin II is the central effector molecule of the activated renin–angiotensin system and is degraded by the ...

Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System Inhibitors and Risk of Covid-19
New England Journal of Medicine, 2020 Background There is concern about the potential of an increased risk related to medications that act on the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in patients exposed to coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), because the viral receptor is angiotensin ...

Direct pro-inflammatory effects of prorenin on microglia.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Neuroinflammation has been implicated in hypertension, and microglia have been proposed to play an important role in the progression of this disease. Here, we have studied whether microglia are activated within cardiovascular regulatory area(s) of the ...

Brain Renin–Angiotensin System at the Intersect of Physical and Cognitive Frailty
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) was initially considered to be part of the endocrine system regulating water and electrolyte balance, systemic vascular resistance, blood pressure, and cardiovascular homeostasis. It was later discovered that intracrine

Role of brain renin angiotensin system in neurodegeneration: An update
Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020 Renin angiotensin system (RAS) is an endocrine system widely known for its physiological roles in electrolyte homeostasis, body fluid volume regulation and cardiovascular control in peripheral circulation. However, brain RAS is an independent form of RAS
