What’s new in the renin-angiotensin system?

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 2004
.Cellular entry of enveloped viruses is often dependent on attachment proteins expressed on the host cell surface. Viral envelope proteins bind these receptors, and, in an incompletely understood process, facilitate fusion of the cellular and viral ...

Cardiac renin and angiotensins: uptake from plasma versus in situ synthesis [PDF]

, 1994
The existence of a cardiac renin-angiotensin system, independent of the circulating renin-angiotensin system, is still controversial. We compared the tissue levels of renin-angiotensin system components in the heart with the levels in blood plasma in ...

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 ...

Clinical and laboratory profile and outcomes of hospitalized COVID‐19 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Ghana – A single‐center study

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
This study describes the clinical and laboratory profile and outcomes of hospitalized COVID‐19 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in Ghana. Out of 175 patients (mean age 55.9+/−18.3 years) 64 (36.6%) had DM. Compared to non‐diabetics, DM patients were older (61.1? 12.8 vs. 53.0?

Is There an Association Between COVID-19 Mortality and the Renin-Angiotensin System? A Call for Epidemiologic Investigations

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
Mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. These disorders share underlying pathophysiology related to the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) that may be clinically ...

Downregulation of ACE2 induces overstimulation of the renin–angiotensin system in COVID-19: should we block the renin–angiotensin system?

Hypertension Research, 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is the cause of the ongoing coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Mortality is mainly due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [1].
