The Renin-Angiotensin System

Journal of Hypertension, 2011
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease in developed countries where type 2 diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic proportions. Although the exact pathogenesis of DN is not fully understood and is likely diverse in nature, there are convincing data that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a major mediator of renal ...

The Renin-Angiotensin System

Annual Review of Physiology, 1978
Since the discovery of renin 80 years ago, there have been remarkable advances in our understanding of the renin-angiotensin system. The system as it is known today is summarized in Figure 1. Angiotensin III, the active component of the system, has several important physiological actions.

THE RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM

Pharmacological Reviews, 1965
The major actions of this system seem to be exerted at an extracellular level even though there are strong suggestions that some intracellular effects may also be important.

The Ontogeny of the Renin-Angiotensin System

Clinics in Perinatology, 1981
This article reviews the seven components of the renin-angiotensin system —renin, renin substrate, angiotensin I, converting enzyme, angiotensin II, angiotensin III, and angiotensinases — and emphasizes current knowledge of this system during development.

The Renin-Angiotensin Systems

Medical Clinics of North America, 1987
The renin-angiotensin systems are important regulators of cardiovascular homeostasis and participate in a variety of pathological conditions. Recent advances have not only clarified the functioning of the systemic renin cascade but have also indicated the importance of the generation of angiotensin in tissues.

C. The renin-angiotensin system. A history and review of the renin-angiotensin system

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1969
Abstract An outline of the development of knowledge of the renin-angiotensin system is given, and the nature of the enzyme renin, its site within the kidney as well as in other organs, and its action on plasma substrate to form first the decapeptide which is converted to the biologically active octapeptide, are considered. The methods
