Renin‐angiotensin system revisited [PDF]

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2008
Abstract.New components and functions of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) are still being unravelled. The classical RAS as it looked in the middle 1970s consisted of circulating renin, acting on angiotensinogen to produce angiotensin I, which in turn was converted into angiotensin II (Ang II) by angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE).

Rapid severe hypertension and organ damage in two‐kidney two‐clip rats produced by different sizes of clips

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Blood pressure increases immediately when the 2K2C rats (made with 0.3, 0.25, and 0.2 mm U‐shaped clips) regain consciousness from anesthesia. 100% of the rats develop hypertension on the day of 2K2C surgery. Blood pressure continues to rise, resulting in severe hypertension and organ damage to the brain, heart, aorta, and kidneys at 1, 2, 4, and 6 ...

Central injection of captopril inhibits the blood pressure response to intracerebroventricular choline

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
In the present study, we investigated the involvement of the brain renin-angiotensin system in the effects of central cholinergic stimulation on blood pressure in conscious, freely moving normotensive rats. In the first step, we determined the effects of

Transient Exposure of Enalapril Normalizes Prenatal Programming of Hypertension and Urinary Angiotensinogen Excretion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Maternal low protein diet programs offspring to develop hypertension as adults. Transient exposure to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers can result in improvement in hypertension. Male rats whose mothers received

SOX6 enhances vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching and elevates blood pressure by activating autophagy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Sox6 expression is elevated in hypertensive conditions and promotes vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching through autophagy activation. Using gain‐ and loss‐of‐function approaches both in vitro and in vivo, we demonstrate that Sox6 regulates blood pressure and vascular remodeling, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target for ...

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, Glucose Metabolism and Incident Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: MESA. [PDF]

, 2018
Background Mechanistic studies suggest that aldosterone impairs glucose metabolism. We investigated the cross-sectional associations of aldosterone and plasma renin activity with fasting plasma glucose, insulin resistance ( IR ), β-cell function, and ...

Angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9): function in cardiac and vascular remodeling [PDF]

, 2014
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is integral to cardiovascular physiology, however, dysregulation of this system largely contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Management of hypotension in dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker overdose: The role of high‐dose insulin therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Amlodipine poisoning is a leading cause of cardiovascular medication‐related deaths, commonly managed with high‐dose insulin (HDI) therapy. However, HDI is a vasodilator that is counterproductive in managing vasoplegia. We aim to study HDI therapy in patients with hypotension following dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist (CCA) overdose ...

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.

Effects of candesartan, an angiotensin II receptor type I blocker, on atrial remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats [PDF]

, 2015
Hypertension-induced structural remodeling of the left atrium (LA) has been suggested to involve the renin–angiotensin system. This study investigated whether treatment with an angiotensin receptor blocker, candesartan, regresses atrial remodeling in ...
