The Impact of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System on Inflammation, Coagulation, and Atherothrombotic Complications, and to Aggravated COVID-19

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Atherosclerosis is considered a disease caused by a chronic inflammation, associated with endothelial dysfunction, and several mediators of inflammation are up-regulated in subjects with atherosclerotic disease.

Serotonergic modulators in Alzheimer's disease: a hope in the hopeless condition

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Accepted Article.
Alzheimer disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia worldwide. AD is a progressive brain neurodegenerative disease due to genetic and environmental factors that induce a progressive accumulation of intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau protein and extracellular amyloid protein (Aβ).

Impaired angiotensin II signaling in septic shock

Annals of Intensive Care
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest for the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in critically ill patients. Emerging data suggest that this vital homeostatic system, which plays a crucial role in maintaining systemic and renal hemodynamics ...

High salt intake damages the heart through activation of cardiac (pro) renin receptors even at an early stage of hypertension. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
It has not yet been fully elucidated whether cardiac tissue levels of prorenin, renin and (P)RR are activated in hypertension with a high salt intake.

Using Structure-Behavior Coalescence Method for Systems Definition 2.0 [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Systems definition is an artifact created by humans to describe what a system is. A system has been defined, by systems definition 1.0, hopefully to be an integrated whole, embodied in its components, their interrelationships with each other and the environment, and the principles and guidelines governing its design and evolution.

Aliskiren: An orally active renin inhibitor

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2011
Renin inhibitors are antihypertensive drugs that block the first step in the renin-angiotensin system. Their mechanism of action differs from that of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor antagonists, but like these drugs,

Dietary Potassium Downregulates Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme, Renin, and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
BackgroundThe importance of dietary potassium in health and disease has been underestimated compared with that placed on dietary sodium. Larger effort has been made on reduction of sodium intake and less on the adequate dietary potassium intake, although

Central injection of captopril inhibits the blood pressure response to intracerebroventricular choline

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
In the present study, we investigated the involvement of the brain renin-angiotensin system in the effects of central cholinergic stimulation on blood pressure in conscious, freely moving normotensive rats. In the first step, we determined the effects of

Morphisms of Networks of Hybrid Open Systems [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
This thesis (defended 10/07/2019) develops a theory of networks of hybrid open systems and morphisms. It builds upon a framework of networks of continuous-time open systems as product and interconnection. We work out categorical notions for hybrid systems, deterministic hybrid systems, hybrid open systems, networks of hybrid open systems, and morphisms
