Differential renal effects of candesartan at high-and ultra-high doses in diabetic mice: potential role of ACE2/AT2R/Mas [PDF]
, 2016 High doses of Ang II receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) are renoprotective in diabetes. Underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluated whether high/ultra-high doses of candesartan (ARB) up-regulate angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Ang II type 2 ...

Renin as a target of direct pharmacological block in arterial hypertension
Терапевтический архив, 2009 Renin is a basic component of renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system which contributes much to the activity of this system. Renin and its precursor prorenin can interact with prorenin receptors thus inducing hypertrophy and fibrogenesis in target tissues ...
