Angiotensin II Binding to Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme Triggers Calcium Signaling
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011-05-01)Angiotensin (Ang) I-converting enzyme (ACE) is involved in the control of blood pressure by catalyzing the conversion of Ang I into the vasoconstrictor Ang II and degrading the vasodilator peptide bradykinin. Human ACE ...

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 ...

Differential sympathetic and angiotensinergic responses in rats submitted to low- or high-salt diet
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-04-05)The present study was designed to evaluate, in Wistar rats, the effect of high- or low-salt diet on the hemodynamic parameters and on the renal and lumbar sympathetic nerve activity. the renal gene expression of the renin ...

Estudo da fibrose no músculo esquelético mediada por receptores de angiotensina e tratamento do músculo lesionado por prp e terapia gênica
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2015-12-17)process, which frequently occurs in cases of deeper muscle injury, leads to imperfect tissue regeneration. The current therapies have a low efficacy for prevention or treatment of the complications caused by fibrosis, such ...

Hemodynamic and metabolic effects of angiotensin II on the liver
(Elsevier B.V., 2005-02-01)To ascertain the mechanism of interaction between angiotensins (AI and AII) and the liver. an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (captopril) and a receptor antagonist (losartan) were used. Monovascular or bivascular ...

Losartan Reduces Oxidative Stress Within the Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla of Rats With Renovascular Hypertension
(Oxford Univ Press, 2013-07-01)Previous studies showed that the microinjection of antioxidants or the overexpression of superoxide dismutase within the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) reduces hypertension and sympathoexcitation in the 2-kidney, ...

Modulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in sepsis: a new therapeutic approach?
(Informa Healthcare, 2010-01-01)Importance of the field: Severe sepsis is characterized by relative hypotension associated with a high cardiac output, peripheral vasodilation, and organ dysfunction. the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is ...
