Angiotensin II, from vasoconstrictor to growth factor: a paradigm shift.
ngiotensin II (Ang II) is today considered as one of the essential factors in the pathophysiology of cardiovas-cular disease, producing acute hemodynamic and chronic pleiotropic effects. Although now it is widely accepted that these chronic effects are important, Ang II was initially considered only a short-acting, vasoactive hormone. This view was modified a quarter of a century ago when Dr Ow...
متن کاملAldosterone as a renal growth factor.
Aldosterone regulates blood pressure through its effects on the cardiovascular system and kidney. Aldosterone can also contribute to the development of hypertension that leads to chronic pathologies such as nephropathy and renal fibrosis. Aldosterone directly modulates renal cell proliferation and differentiation as part of normal kidney development. The stimulation of rapidly activated protein...
متن کاملLocal angiotensin II and transforming growth factor-beta1 in renal fibrosis of rats.
Studies have demonstrated that local angiotensin II (Ang II) generation is enhanced in repairing kidney and that ACE inhibition or AT(1) receptor blockade attenuates renal fibrosis. The localization of ACE and Ang II receptors and their relationship to collagen synthesis in the injured kidney, however, remain uncertain. Using a rat model of renal injury with subsequent fibrosis created with chr...
