The renin-angiotensin system and atherosclerosis
Current Hypertension Reports, 2006Atherosclerosis is an insidious and complex disease of large- and medium-sized arteries. The primum movens of the disease is characterized by co-localization of lipids, inflammatory cells, and fibrous elements within the intima of vessels. Starting as a "fatty streak," the disease evolves over decades into complex lesions that can progress toward a ...

The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is a hormonal cascade that is thought to act as a master controller of blood pressure and fluid balance within the body. In addition to the systemic RAS, there is a fully functional intrarenal RAS, which is postulated to play a central role in the development of chronic kidney disease.

Tissue renin angiotensin systems
Medical Clinics of North America, 2004The RAAS is a powerful regulator of vascular tone and intravascular volume and of tissue architecture and a variety of other functions. The recent appreciation of the immunoregulatory role of angiotensin II and its possible involvement in the genesis of atherosclerosis and in plaque rupture all speak to the wide-ranging physiologic and pathophysiologic

The Pulmonary Renin-Angiotensin System
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2003The circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a well-described role in circulatory homeostasis. Recently, local tissue-based RAS have also been described which appear to play a key role in the injury/repair response. The expression of RAS components and the elevation of angiotensin converting enzyme in a number of interstitial lung diseases ...

Reproduction and the renin-angiotensin system
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 1995A unique aspect of the circulating renin-angiotensin system and the many independent tissue renin-angiotensin systems is their interactions at multiple levels with reproduction. These interactions, which have received relatively little attention, include effects of estrogens and possibly androgens on hepatic and renal angiotensinogen mRNA; effects of ...

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1980There is increased activity of the renin, angiotensin, aldosterone (RAA) system in infancy and childhood. An inverse relationship between plasma renin, aldosterone and age has been demonstrated. In childhood hypertension due to renovascular disease or pyelonephritic scarring peripheral plasma renin is increased.

With an overall prevalence of 25 %, hypertension is a major public health problem. A direct link between arterial hypertension and cardiovascular events such as stroke and myocardial infarction has been clearly demonstrated although the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension is still not completely understood. Angiotensin receptors play a role, but this

Renin angiotensin system and ASCVD
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2000The renin angiotensin system was first described over 100 years ago and is still the focus of intense clinical and basic science investigation. The renin angiotensin system was demonstrated to play a major pathogenetic role in hypertension. The development of inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme and specific receptor blockers for angiotensin-II ...

The intrarenal renin-angiotensin system
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1993The standard concept of the renin-angiotensin system is that renin is secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney into the circulation, where it cleaves angiotensin to release angiotensin I. The angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II by a converting enzyme located on the plasma membrane of the endothelial cell. The released angiotensin II

The Renin-Angiotensin System in Anesthesia
1987The renin-angiotensin system has received considerable attention in the last several years and is one of a variety of vasoactive substances that are known to be important in controlling blood pressure. The presentation will focus on how the various aspects of the renin-angiotensin system may have important implications for the anesthesiologist.
