Weight Loss and the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System [PDF]
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has been causally implicated in obesity-associated hypertension. We studied the influence of obesity and weight reduction on the circulating and adipose tissue renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in menopausal women.

Updates on the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System and the Cardiovascular Continuum [PDF]
The cardiovascular continuum describes how several cardiovascular risk factors contribute to the development of atherothrombosis, ischemic heart disease, and peripheral arteriopathy, leading to cardiac and renal failure and ultimately death.

Quarterly injectable hormonal contraceptive does not increase the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in women without cardiovascular risk factors [PDF]
Objective: To test the hypothesis that the quarterly injectable contraceptive increases the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study that included eutrophic, irregularly active women ...

The renin angiotensin aldosterone system. [PDF]
AbstractIn this review, we will cover (i) the proteolytic cascade of the RAAS, (ii) its regulation by multiple feedback-controlled parameters, and (iii) the major effects of the RAAS. For the effects of the RAAS, we focus on the role of the RAAS in the regulation of volume homeostasis and vascular tone, as major determinants of arterial blood pressure.

The Renin — Angiotensin — Aldosterone System in Pre-Eclampsia
Pre-eclampsia is characterised physiologically by plasma volume contraction, intravascular coagulation and intense vasoconstriction. It was originally thought that the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system would be overactive but studies have shown a more complex picture.

Gender and the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system [PDF]
AbstractPremenopausal women are protected to some extent from cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Because this protection weakens after menopause, sex hormones are believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and kidney diseases.
