Nicotine and the renin-angiotensin system [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2018 Cigarette smoking is the single most important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases (CVPD). Although cigarette smoking has been in constant decline since the 1950s, the introduction of e-cigarettes or electronic nicotine delivery systems 10 yr ago has attracted former smokers as well as a new generation of consumers.

Different Sides of Renin Angiotensin System [PDF]
Namık Kemal Tıp Dergisi, 2015 The main physiological role of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is to regulate blood pressure and water balance. It contains a group of related hormones that act together and called as angiotensins, receptors and enzymes. This system plays an important

Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]
Archives of Andrology, 1988 Renin, a protease that cleaves the prohormone angiotensinogen thereby releasing angiotensin I, plays a major role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Although renin is synthesized mainly in the cortical cells of the kidney, the presence of renin or reninlike activity has been recognized in various extrarenal tissues of humans and ...

The renin-angiotensin system and malignancy [PDF]
Carcinogenesis, 2008 The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is usually associated with its systemic action on cardiovascular homoeostasis. However, recent studies suggest that at a local tissue level, the RAS influences tumour growth. The potential of the RAS as a target for cancer treatment and the suggested underlying mechanisms of its paracrine effects are reviewed here ...
