Angiotensin II increases host resistance to peritonitis.
Studies by other laboratories have shown that angiotensin II (AII) can affect the function of cells which comprise the immune system. In the present study, the effect of AII on the function of peritoneal macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes was assessed. In vitro exposure (4 h prior to assay) of peritoneal macrophages from mice and rats to AII increased the percentage of cells that phagoc...
متن کاملAngiotensin-II induced insulin resistance.
W e read with great interest the article by Lima-Martínez and cols. (1). They studied the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness and plasma levels of adiponectin in Venezuelan patients. And they found a significant association between EAT thickness and both metabolic syndrome components and adiponectin concentration. The authors also reported a strong correlation between...
متن کاملAngiotensin II increases adipose angiotensinogen expression.
In addition to the well-defined contribution of the liver, adipose tissue has been recognized as an important source of angiotensinogen (AGT). The purpose of this study was to define the angiotensin II (ANG II) receptors involved in regulation of adipose AGT and the relationship of this control to systemic AGT and/or angiotensin peptide concentrations. In LDL receptor-deficient (LDLR(-/-)) male...
متن کاملResponse to the letter: Angiotensin-II induced insulin resistance.
W e have examined with attention the comments of the letter to the Editor in regards to our recently published article (1), and want to thank its authors for their interest in our work. Indeed, it has been demonstrated that, upon acting on the AT1 receptor, angiotensin II activates matrix metalloproteases that release the epidermal growth factor (EGF), binding to its receptor promotes the activ...
متن کاملAngiotensin II increases electrical coupling in mammalian ventricular myocardium.
Electrical measurements of current flow in ventricular myocardium immersed in silicone oil showed that angiotensin II increases the cell-to-cell spread of current within seconds. The increases in current spread and conduction velocity occur without any changes in resting membrane potential or maximum rate of rise of the action potential. The concentration range was 10 nM to 10 microM, with an E...
