Ang-(3-4) suppresses inhibition of renal plasma membrane calcium pump by Ang II
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-06-05)We previously demonstrated that Ang II inhibits the renal plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase. in the present work we have studied the effect of Ang II, at concentrations similar to those found in the renal interstitium, on the ...

Caracterização do sistema renina angiotensina no rim e coração do camundongo transgênico que expressa tonina de rato
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2010-05-26)Angiotensin II (Ang II), one of the most relevant angiotensinergic peptides, has an important role in the renal and cardiac physiology. There are many enzymes that generate Ang II. One of them is tonin, that is able to ...

Characteristics of neural and humoral systems involved in the regulation of blood pressure in snakes
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-07-01)Cardiovascular function is affected by many mechanisms, including the autonomic system, the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS), the reninangiotensin system (RAS) and the endothelin system. the function of these systems seems ...

Deficient prolylcarboxypeptidase gene and protein expression in left ventricles of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-11-01)Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP), an endothelial cell membrane serine peptidase that inactivates angiotensin II and activates pre-kallikrein, is thought to have anti-hypertensive and anti-proliferative roles in cardiovascular ...

Differential sympathetic activation induced by intermittent hypoxia and sleep loss in rats: Action of angiotensin (1-7)
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-02-24)The present study attempted to evaluate the effects of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) associated with sleep restriction in hemodynamic parameters and the plasma renin-angiotensin system. Wistar-Hannover rats were ...

Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor Prevents Kidney Infarction and Attenuates Renovascular Hypertension
(Karger, 2012-01-01)Background: G-CSF is a critical regulator of hematopoietic cell proliferation, differentiation and survival. It has been reported that G-CSF attenuates renal injury during acute ischemia-reperfusion. in this study we ...

High sucrose intake in rats is associated with increased ACE2 and angiotensin-(1-7) levels in the adipose tissue
(Elsevier B.V., 2010-06-08)Sucrose-fed rats, a model of metabolic syndrome, are characterized by insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension, and high plasma levels of triacylglycerols and angiotensin II (Ang II). However, whether tissue renin-angiotensin ...

Increased vascular sympathetic modulation in mice with Mas receptor deficiency
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016)Introduction: The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7)/Mas axis could modulate the heart rate (HR) and blood pressure variabilities (BPV) which are important predictors of cardiovascular risk and ...

Leptin regulates ACE activity in mice
(Springer, 2010-09-01)Leptin is a hormone related to metabolism. It also influences blood pressure, but the mechanisms triggered in this process are not yet elucidated. Angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) regulates cardiovascular functions ...
