Therapeutic targets of renin-angiotensin system in ocular disorders
PURPOSE To review current literature on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS)-mediated pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets in ocular diseases. METHODS A comprehensive literature survey was performed on PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases published from 1977 to 2016. The search terms were a RAS, angiotensin, angiotensin receptor, prorenin, pro (renin) receptor, angiotensin conv...
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 and Its Therapeutic Approaches
The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) has an important role in the control of blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, and in the regulation of salt and volume homeostasis of organisms as well as in the heart failure, and other related renal dysfunctions. Renin is the main protease enzyme of the RAS. In kidney, Juxtaglomerular (JG) cells are most important site for renin production. Renin act on An...
متن کاملEvolving understanding of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system: pathophysiology and targets for therapeutic intervention.
Since its discovery in the late 19th century, our may limit the degree of RAAS suppression that is conceptual understanding of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has undergone a process of continuous evolution. Renin was first described by Tigerstedt and Bergman, who, in 1898, documented pressor effects of tissue extracts from rabbit kidneys. Later investigators established that th...
متن کاملAn ocular renin-angiotensin system. Immunohistochemistry of angiotensinogen.
The circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an important determinant in maintaining adequate systemic blood pressure, and it also may modify organ-specific blood flow. All recognized RAS components have been identified in the eye. In this study, angiotensinogen (ANG) was localized using an affinity-purified antibody and paraffin sections of seven human eyes. An antibody for human serum al...
