Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 1975 ALTHOUGH the names of Tigerstedt and Bergman1 are associated with the first description in 1898 of renin extracted from the kidney, it may come as a surprise that when Tigerstedt, who was the senior worker in the partnership and the Professor of Physiology in the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, died, there was no mention of renin in the various ...

Hepcidin is potential regulator for renin activity
PLoS ONE, 2022 An association between genetic variants in the genes HFE, HJV, BMP4 and arterial hypertension has been shown earlier. Proteins encoded by these genes participate in the signalling routes leading eventually to the production of the peptide hormone ...

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010 Since renin inhibition interferes with the first and rate-limiting steps in the renin–angiotensin system, the renin step is a very attractive target for lowering blood pressure and minimizing target-organ damage.

Intrarenal renin–angiotensin system [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2009 Phylogenetically the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an ancient regulatory system which has attracted the attention of researchers for about a century. As a result of their efforts, different types of RAS inhibitors are now widely used as therapeutic medicines. The scientific enthusiasm toward RAS remains undiminished and new findings and discoveries

The renin–angiotensin system: a possible new target for depression
BMC Medicine, 2017 Depression remains a debilitating condition with an uncertain aetiology. Recently, attention has been given to the renin–angiotensin system. In the central nervous system, angiotensin II may be important in multiple pathways related to neurodevelopment ...

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 ...
