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 کاملClinical pathology and treatment of renin-angiotensin system 3. Atherosclerosis and the renin-angiotensin system.
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by endothelial dysfunction, thereby leading to the accumulation of macrophage-derived foam cells in the vessel wall. Endothelial cells, intimal smooth muscle cells, and leukocytes produce a wide range of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors in the multifactorial process of atherosclerosis. Angiotensin II (Ang II) has bee...

متن کاملLocal Bone Marrow Renin-Angiotensin System and Atherosclerosis
Local hematopoietic bone marrow (BM) renin-angiotensin system (RAS) affects the growth, production, proliferation differentiation, and function of hematopoietic cells. Angiotensin II (Ang II), the dominant effector peptide of the RAS, regulates cellular growth in a wide variety of tissues in pathobiological states. RAS, especially Ang II and Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R), has considerable proin...
متن کاملRenin - Angiotensin - Aldosterone System
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is associated with endothelial dysfunction. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is believed to be important in the deterioration of endothelial dysfunction in CHF through stimulation of oxidative stress. Whereas angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) improve endothelial function in CHF, the effects of angiotensin II AT 1-receptor b...
