Is there a brain renin-angiotensin system?
SINCE THE original demonstration by Bickerton and Buckley 1 that angiotensin II acts directly on the central nervous system to increase arterial pressure, it has become clear that the peptide has several central actions. These include stimulation of drinking as well as increased secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and of adrenocortico-tropic hormone (ACTH) (for reviews see Ferrario et al. 2...
متن کاملThe renin-angiotensin system and its blockers.
Research on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has contributed significantly to advances in understanding cardiovascular and renal homeostasis and to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This review offers a brief history of the RAS with an overview of its major components and their functions, as well as blockers of the RAS, their clinical usage and current research that targets various co...
متن کاملRenoprotection and renin-angiotensin system blockade in diabetes mellitus.
Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States, and accounts for 35% of all the patients with ESRD entering a dialysis program; 63% of patients with diabetic nephropathy have type II diabetes mellitus. Hypertension is a major risk factor for renal disease and is common in people with diabetes mellitus. Strategies for preventing the progressi...
متن کاملRenin-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 کاملRenin-angiotensin system blockers in cardiac surgery.
Major complications associated with cardiac surgery are still common and carry great prognostic significance. β-Blockers, statins, antiplatelets, and renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers are current medical interventions to prevent cardiovascular complications in cardiac surgery. Renin-angiotensin system blockers include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor block...
