The vascular renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

, 2001
PhDThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is one of the major regulators of blood pressure. The actions and generation of RAAS components at the tissue level are less well appreciated.

Potassium Balance and the-Control of Renin Secretion

, 1970
strate were measured in nine groups of rats which were maintained for 7 wk on diets in which the proportions of sodium and potassium were varied. Balance data indicated that the highest dietary intake of potassium employed (92 mEq K+/100 g food) con ...

Renin-Angiotensin System overactivation in polycystic ovary syndrome, a risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection?

, 2020
BackgroundThe SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus gains entry to target cells via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor present on cells in blood vessels, lungs, heart, intestines, and kidneys.

Associations Between Aldosterone-Renin-Ratio and Bone Parameters Derived from Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography and Impact Microindentation in Men

, 2023
Components of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) are present on bone cells. One measure of RAAS activity, the aldosterone-renin-ratio (ARR), is used to screen for primary aldosteronism.

Hepatic Mitochondrial Renin-Angiotensin Systems

, 2015
Introduction: The circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was originally described as a key endocrine regulator of intravascular homeostasis; however, the existence of a local (tissue) RAS has become increasingly reported in a variety of tissues ...

RAAS in diabetic retinopathy: mechanisms and therapies

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes with a complex pathophysiology and multiple factors involved. Recently, it has been found that the upregulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) leads to overexpression of ...

A Comparative Study on Inter and Intra-Laboratory Reproducibility of Renin Measurement with a Conventional Enzymatic Method and a New Chemiluminescent Assay of Immunoreactive Renin

, 2009
Background: The activity of the renin-angiotensin system is usually evaluated as plasma renin activity (PRA, ng AI/ml/h) but the interlaboratory reproducibility of this enzymatic assay is notoriously scarce.

Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors improve the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients with hypertension

, 2020
The dysfunction of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been observed in coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19) patients, but whether RAS inhibitors, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers

A direkt renin és a renin aktivitás használhatósága a diagnosztikában

, 2015
Bevezetés: A renin-aldoszteron rendszer vizsgálata során a laboratóriumok nagy jelentőséget tulajdonítanak az in vitro izotópdiagnosztikai módszereknek. A diagnosztikai hasznosság szempontjából ezen tesztek eredményeit összevetettem az egyre inkább tért
