The Frail Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2011
Over the last few decades, the understanding of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has advanced dramatically. RAS is now thought to play a crucial role in physiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms in almost every organ system and is a key regulator of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and renal function.

The renin-angiotensin system and fibrinolysis [PDF]

American Journal of Hypertension, 1997
In addition to causing vasoconstriction and the retention of salt and water, angiotensin inhibits fibrinolysis, thereby promoting clot formation and protecting against hemorrhage. Activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) can disturb the balance of the fibrinolytic system by stimulating excess production of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1

The effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system gene polymorphisms on insulin resistance in hypertensive families

, 2014
Introduction: The hereditability of insulin resistance has been demonstrated in both familial and twin studies. The effects of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system gene polymorphisms on insulin resistance remain inconclusive.

Stimulation of renin secretion by potassium-channel activation with cromakalim [PDF]

, 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.

Furosemide stimulates renin expression in the kidneys of salt-supplemented rats [PDF]

, 1993
This study was conducted to obtain information about a possible influence of salt transport by the thick ascending limb of Henle (TALH) and the macula densa on the expression of renin in the kidney.

Renin-Angiotensin System Expression in the K562 Human Erythroleukaemic Cell Line

, 2007
Local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may affect leukaemic cell production within the bone marrow microenvironment. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), renin, and angiotensin could influence leukaemogenesis.

Intelligent Programmable Membrane Nanosponge for Early Virus Blocking

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A smart programmable nanosponge (ACNPs) displays high‐density viral receptors on its membrane and encapsulates fusion inhibitors to capture virions at the infection source through competitive binding and blocks their entry through protease inhibition for ultra‐early cascade interception. This modular, mucus‐penetrating platform shifts antiviral defence

The expression of renin-angiotensin system components in the human gastric mucosa

, 2010
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to map the distribution of representative protein components of the renin—angiotensin system (RAS) in the human gastric mucosa. Materials and methods: Biopsies from the antral and corporal mucosa of healthy

Chrysanthemum Morifolium–Derived Nanovesicles Reduce Lactate‐Associated Histone Lactylation and Modulate Microglia‐Mediated Neuroinflammation in Sepsis‐Associated Encephalopathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
When used to treat sepsis‐associated encephalopathy, Chrysanthemum morifolium–derived nanovesicles can inhibit the H3K18la/NF‐κB axis to regulate microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation. ABSTRACT Sepsis‐associated encephalopathy (SAE)—a complication of the central nervous system in patients with sepsis—markedly diminishes cognitive functions and is linked

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.
