Renal protection in chronic kidney disease: hypoxia-inducible factor activation vs. angiotensin II blockade.
The 5/6(th) nephrectomy or ablation/infarction (A/I) preparation has been used as a classic model of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We observed increased kidney oxygen consumption (Q(O2)) and altered renal hemodynamics in the A/I kidney that were normalized after combined angiotensin II (ANG II) blockade. Studies suggest hypoxia inducible factor as a protective influence in A/I. We induced hypox...
متن کاملAngiotensin II receptor blockade and end-organ protection: pharmacological rationale and evidence.
BACKGROUND The renin-angiotensin system is a widely studied hormonal system that comprises substrate-enzyme interactions, the end result of which is the production of the active peptide angiotensin II. Because angiotensin II affects blood pressure control, sodium and water homeostasis, and cardiovascular function and structure, a great deal of research effort has been directed toward blocking t...
متن کاملAngiotensin II and renal fibrosis.
Angiotensin (Ang) II, the main peptide of the renin angiotensin system (RAS), is a renal growth factor, inducing hyperplasia/hypertrophy depending on the cell type. This vasoactive peptide activates mesangial and tubular cells and interstitial fibroblasts, increasing the expression and synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins. Some of these effects seem to be mediated by the release of other ...
متن کاملRole of Bradykinin and Mas Receptor Blockade in Renal Vascular Responses to Angiotensin 1-7 in Adult Female Rats
Background and purpose: Chronic kidney disease is among the common diseases in the world. Studies show that women are more protected against renal diseases compared to men. On the other hand, vasodilatory axises of renin angiotensin system (angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7)- Mas receptor (MasR)), kallikrein-kinin, and nitric oxide (NO) play key roles in kidney function and circulation in females. There...
متن کاملEffect of beta-adrenergic blockade and inhibitors of angiotensin II and prostaglandins on renal autoregulation.
The role of the renin-angiotensin system and prostaglandins in renal autoregulation was investigated in dog kidneys in situ. Renal autoregulation during decreases in renal arterial pressure (RAP) was examined in animals pretreated with a competitive antagonist of angiotensin ii, [1-sarcosine, 8-glycine] angiotensin II, or one of two chemically dissimilar inhibitors of prostaglandin synthetase, ...
