Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and renin-aldosterone in volume regulation of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]

, 1989
The role of the atrial natriuretic factor and of the main counteracting sodium-retaining principle, the renin-aldosterone system, in acute volume regulation of cirrhosis of the liver has been investigated.

Acute Kidney Injury in a Case Series of Patients with Confirmed COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019): Role of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 and Renin-Angiotensin System Blockade

Case Reports in Nephrology, 2020
The renin-angiotensin system plays a very critical role in hypertension, diabetes, and kidney and heart diseases. The blockade of the renin-angiotensin system results in the prevention of progression of renal and cardiac damage.

The renin-angiotensin system: going beyond the classical paradigms

American Journal of Physiology. Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2019
Thirty years ago, a novel axis of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was unveiled by the discovery of angiotensin-(1−7) [ANG-(1−7)] generation in vivo. Later, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) was shown to be the main mediator of this reaction, and ...

Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System Blockers and the Risk of Covid-19

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
Background A potential association between the use of angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has not been well studied.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Roles and functions of Atp6ap2 in the brain

Neural Regeneration Research, 2018
The classical renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the body has been studied intensively in the last decades, since it is known that this system is involved in the regulation of blood pressure.

Stimulation of renin secretion by potassium-channel activation with cromakalim

, 1989
The cardiovascular and endocrine profile of cromakalim has been studied in 8 healthy men (age 25 +/- 2 years: means SEM) and its influence on renin release from cultured rat juxtaglomerular cells in vitro has also been examined.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme genotype and late respiratory complications of mustard gas exposure [PDF]

, 2008
Exposure to mustard gas frequently results in long-term respiratory complications. However the factors which drive the development and progression of these complications remain unclear.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Is Characterized by a Distinct Proteomic Profile

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives The pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is poorly understood and disease‐specific biomarkers are lacking. We aimed to shed light on IIH pathophysiology and identify disease‐specific biomarkers. Methods This prospective cross‐sectional cohort study included patients with new‐onset IIH and age‐, body mass index‐, and ...
