Angiotensin type 2 receptor antagonism confers renal protection in a rat model of progressive renal injury.
The role of the angiotensin type 2 (AT(2)) receptor in the pathogenesis of progressive renal injury has not been previously elucidated. The renal expression of the AT(1) and AT(2) receptors in subtotally nephrectomized rats (STNx) and the effects of AT(2) receptor blockade on renal injury were explored. Reduced renal expression of the AT(1) but not the AT(2) receptor was observed in STNx by rev...
متن کاملActivation of renal angiotensin type 1 receptor contributes to the pathogenesis of progressive renal injury in a rat model of chronic cardiorenal syndrome.
Although chronic cardiac dysfunction is known to progressively exacerbate renal injury, a condition known as type 2 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), the mechanism responsible is largely unknown. The present study was undertaken to clarify the mechanism of renal injury in rats with both unilateral nephrectomy (NX) and surgically induced myocardial infarction (MI), corresponding to a model of type 2 C...
متن کاملIntra-renal angiotensin II/AT1 receptor, oxidative stress, inflammation, and progressive injury in renal mass reduction.
Significant reduction of renal mass triggers a chain of events that result in glomerular hypertension/hyperfiltration, proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial injury, and end-stage renal disease. These events are mediated by a constellation of hemodynamic, oxidative, and inflammatory reactions that are, in part, driven by local AT1 receptor (AT1r) activation by angiotensin II (Ang I...
متن کاملOriganum Majoranum Extract Modulates Gene Expression, Hepatic and Renal Changes in a Rat Model of Type 2 Diabetes
The present study was conducted to test the effect of Origanum Majoranum Extract (OME) of leaves on alterations induced in a model of type 2 diabetic rats. Adult male Wistar rats were fed high fat diet for 3 weeks and injected a single dose of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to induce type 2 diabetic rats. Diabetic rats were given aqueous extract of OME in a dose of 20 mg/kg orally ...
