Renal expression of aminopeptidase A in rats with two-kidney, one-clip hypertension.
BACKGROUND Angiotensin II (ANG II) is a major factor involved in the progression of chronic renal disease. Although the generation of this vasoactive peptide has been investigated in great detail, only a few studies have hitherto addressed the metabolism of ANG II into fragments such as angiotensin III and IV (ANG III, IV) which may exert physiological effects independent of ANG II. Aminopeptid...
متن کاملThe Effects of Resveratrol in Rats with Simultaneous Type 2 Diabetes and Renal Hypertension: a Study of Antihypertensive Mechanisms
Background: Resveratrol has beneficial effects on cardiovascular system. This study aimed at examining antidiabetic and antihypertensive effects of resveratrol in rats with simultaneous type 2 diabetes and renal hypertension.Methods: Eight groups (8-10 each) of male Spargue-Dawley rats, including a control, a diabetic (induced by streptozotocin and nicotinamide), a renal hypertensive (induced b...
متن کاملCardiac performance in rats with renal hypertension.
To evaluate cardiac performance in renal hypertension more precisely we determined cardiac function curves for 12 normotensive rats and 11 other rats with two-kidney Goldblatt hypertension. The hypertensive group (BP = 134 +/- 8 mm Hg) showed significant cardiac hypertrophy (44 +/- 1% increased ratio of heart weight to body weight, P less than 0.01) and markedly increased left ventricular strok...
متن کاملKidney aminopeptidase A and hypertension, part I: spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Tissue and plasma levels of aminopeptidase A (APA), the principal enzyme that hydrolyzes angiotensin II (Ang II) to angiotensin III, were measured in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and their normotensive control strain at 3 different ages corresponding to prehypertensive (4 weeks), developing (8 weeks), and established (16 weeks) phases of hypertension. Plasma APA activity was significan...
متن کاملThe effect of reversible inactivation of the central amygdaloid nucleus on cardiovascular responses in rats with renal hypertension
The brain rennin-angiotensin system (RAS) has an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular function. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of reversible inactivation of the central amygdaloid nucleus (Ace) in normotensive rats and rats with renal hypertension (2K-1C). Two groups of normotensive rats were selected for this study. In one group, hypertension was induced...
