Pharmacology of the renin-angiotensin system.

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1994
Recent developments in the techniques of molecular biology and the availability of inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system have provided new insight into renin-angiotensin research. The control mechanism of renin release and the metabolism of circulating renin have been well characterized on the molecular level. Angiotensin II has been shown to play

Upregulation of angiotensin-(1-7) formation in human podocytes - enzyme activity assay upon fluid flow shear stress.

PLoS ONE
The renin-angiotensin system is known for its role in renal physiology by regulating renal hemodynamics and natriuresis. Overactivation of this system exerts pathological effects in the kidney, primarily mediated by its main effector peptide angiotensin ...

Collecting Duct Nitric Oxide Synthase 1ß Activation Maintains Sodium Homeostasis During High Sodium Intake Through Suppression of Aldosterone and Renal Angiotensin II Pathways

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundDuring high sodium intake, the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system is downregulated and nitric oxide signaling is upregulated in order to remain in sodium balance.

Alternative Renin-Angiotensin System

Hypertension
The renin-angiotensin system is the most important peptide hormone system in the regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis. Its classical arm consists of the enzymes, renin, and angiotensin-converting enzyme, generating angiotensin II from angiotensinogen, which activates its AT 1 receptor ...

Manipulation of the Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]

Circulation, 2001
Since the initial description of angiotensin II–mediated hypertension >40 years ago, basic and clinical investigations of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) have resulted in a broader understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology and significant advances in therapy.

Aliskiren, Fosinopril, and Their Outcome on Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) in Rats with Thyroid Dysfunction

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2019
Background and Objectives. Thyroid hormones have an important role in the growth and development of various tissues including the kidney, which is the major site of renin release and the consequent angiotensin and aldosterone formation.

Thyroid Disorders Change the Pattern of Response of Angiotensinase Activities in the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis of Male Rats

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Thyroid disorders affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis with important consequences on the cardiovascular function in which the renin-angiotensin system plays a major role.

Advances in Unraveling the Role of the Renin-Angiotensin-AldosteroneSystem in Osteoporosis Pathogenesis

Guoji laonian yixue zazhi
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system(RAAS) serves as a pivotal regulatory mechanism influencing aldosterone secretion through renin.Functioning as a hormonal cascade,RAAS plays a crucial role in maintaining dynamic homeostasis concerning arterial ...
