Within the Brain: The Renin Angiotensin System
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 For many years, modulators of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) have been trusted by clinicians for the control of essential hypertension. It was recently demonstrated that these modulators have other pleiotropic properties independent of their ...

Influence of Polymorphism of Vitamin D Receptor (Fok I) on Hypertension [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2020 Evidence suggests that polymorphisms in the gene encoding a vitamin D receptor might affect blood pressure. The objective of this systematic review was to investigate the association between hypertension and vitamin D receptor (Fok I) gene polymorphism ...

Protein Kinase G Is Involved in Acute but Not in Long-Term Regulation of Renin Secretion
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Pharmacological inhibition of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is, in combination with diuretics, the first-choice treatment for hypertension, although 10–20% of patients do not respond adequately.

Renin and Renin Inhibition in Anephric Man
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1993 Renin activity appears to be present in low concentrations in the plasma of anephric humans but could be artifactual secondary to inadvertent activation of prorenin during specimen collection and handling or from a renin-like enzyme. We studied the effects of specimen collection, storage, different assay conditions, trypsin activation, and the renin ...

Targeting the renin-angiotensin system to improve cancer treatment: Implications for immunotherapy
Science Translational Medicine, 2017 By reprogramming the tumor microenvironment, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors have the potential to increase effectiveness of immunotherapy. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors (RASi)—widely prescribed for the treatment of cardiovascular ...
