Renin-angiotensin system and unilateral ureteral obstruction
Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is a clinical scenario that leads to obstructive nephropathy. UUO alters the expression of many mediators in the ipsilateral kidney. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in UUO. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) as the main arms of RAS influence kidney function which may alter by UUO. Ang II via Ang II receptor subtypes I (AT1R) ...
متن کاملUnraveling the mechanism of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system activation and target organ damage in hypertensive blacks.
The International Society on Hypertension in Blacks consensus statement in 2010 noted that, in the setting of high dietary sodium intake, hypertensive blacks have particularly impressive responses to renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade.1 The statement went on to point out that the excessive target-organ damage (TOD) in hypertensive blacks can be attributed to RAAS activation. A...
متن کاملDietary Sodium Suppresses Digestive Efficiency via the Renin-Angiotensin System
Dietary fats and sodium are both palatable and are hypothesized to synergistically contribute to ingestive behavior and thereby obesity. Contrary to this hypothesis, C57BL/6J mice fed a 45% high fat diet exhibited weight gain that was inhibited by increased dietary sodium content. This suppressive effect of dietary sodium upon weight gain was mediated specifically through a reduction in digesti...
متن کاملTransgenic Rats Harboring Human Renin and Angiotensinogen Genes Induced End-Organ Damage in Double − Cyclosporin A Protects Against Angiotensin II
Leukocyte infiltration and adhesion molecule activation play a central role in the pathogenesis of angiotensin II (Ang II)–induced end-organ damage in double transgenic rats (dTGR) harboring human renin and angiotensinogen genes. We tested the hypothesis that the immunosuppressive agent cyclosporine (CsA) protects against the Ang II–induced myocardial and renal damage in dTGR. Furthermore, we i...
