Adipose tissue-specific increase in angiotensinogen expression and secretion in the obese (fa/fa) Zucker rat.
We investigated angiotensinogen (AGT) expression in adipose tissue and liver of Zucker rats during the onset of obesity. The developmental pattern of AGT expression (protein and mRNA) in liver was similar in both genotypes. In inguinal adipose tissue, AGT cell content was similar in suckling and weaned pups in lean rats, whereas it continuously increased with age in obese rats. AGT amount in ad...
متن کاملBlood pressure measurement in obese patients.
cialist in critical care, neurosciences, and bariatric surgery at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, California. from a practical standpoint, is that the arms of obese people are no longer than the arms of nonobese persons of a similar height. Because of this discrepancy, following the standard for selecting cuff size results in a poor fit. Additionally many people who are obese have arms that ar...
متن کاملSuppressing kidney angiotensinogen in blood pressure regulation
The classical renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is activated by renin that is secreted from the juxtaglomerular cells of the afferent arteriole, which cleaves angiotensinogen (Agt), synthesized and released by the liver. This leads to the generation of a potent biologically active peptide, angiotensin II (AngII), which contributes to blood pressure regulation and sodium homeostasis. Recent studies...
متن کاملDeficiency of angiotensinogen in hepatocytes markedly decreases blood pressure in lean and obese male mice.
We recently demonstrated that adipocyte deficiency of angiotensinogen (AGT) ablated high-fat diet-induced elevations in plasma angiotensin II (Ang II) concentrations and obesity-hypertension in male mice. Hepatocytes are the predominant source of systemic AGT. Therefore, in this study, we defined the contribution of hepatocyte-derived AGT to obesity-induced elevations in plasma AGT concentratio...
متن کاملRole of angiotensinogen in blood pressure homeostasis.
The role of angiotensinogen in blood pressure control was assessed in normotensive rats by observing the changes resulting from inhibition by specific rat angiotensinogen antiserum. The antiserum decreased blood pressure in rats on normal sodium as well as sodium-free diets (respectively delta BP = -30 +/- 6 mm Hg and -42 +/- 8 mm Hg). In binephrectomized sodium-replete rats, administration of ...
