Renal angiotensin type 2 receptors mediate natriuresis via angiotensin III in the angiotensin II type 1 receptor-blocked rat.
Whereas angiotensin (Ang) II is the major effector peptide of the renin-angiotensin system, its metabolite, des-aspartyl1-Ang II (Ang III), may also have biologic activity. We investigated the effects of renal interstitial (RI) administration of candesartan (CAND), a specific Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1) blocker, with and without coinfusion of PD-123319 (PD), a specific Ang II type 2 receptor (...
متن کاملThe effect of progressive aerobic continuous training on angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 in patients with heart failure
Background: Chronic hypertension causes structural and functional changes in the heart, ultimately leading to heart failure (HF), which further increases mortality and morbidit. HF is a complex clinical syndrome caused by various structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair the filling capacity of the ventricles. The findings of various trials have shown the association betwe...
متن کاملRenal angiotensin II type-2 receptors are upregulated and mediate the candesartan-induced natriuresis/diuresis in obese Zucker rats.
Recently, there has been a growing interest in studying the role of angiotensin II type-2 (AT(2)) receptor in renal/cardiovascular function in pathological conditions. The present study was designed to determine the functional role of the AT(2) receptors on natriuresis/diuresis and compare the level of the tubular AT(2) receptor expression in obese and lean Zucker rats (12 weeks old). Under ane...
متن کاملAngiotensin II promotes melanogenesis via angiotensin II type 1 receptors in human melanocytes.
Angiotensin II (AngII) is a hormone with long-established cardiovascular actions. Previous studies have revealed an additional role for AngII in the regulation of cutaneous wound healing. To evaluate the association between AngII and abnormal pigmentation of cutaneous wound healing, the present study used human melanocytes to investigate the effects of AngII on melanogenesis, and to elucidate t...
متن کاملCardiovascular and renal function of angiotensin II type-2 receptors.
While all of the well-known cardiovascular and renal effects of angiotensin II (ANG) are attributed to the ANG type-1 (AT(1)) receptor, much less is known about the function of ANG type-2 (AT(2)) receptors. This review focuses on progress made in AT(2) receptor research over the past 10 years mainly enabled by the availability of AT(2) receptor-deficient mice. Two general mechanisms regarding A...
