Angiotensin II promotes melanogenesis via angiotensin II type 1 receptors in human melanocytes.
Angiotensin II (AngII) is a hormone with long-established cardiovascular actions. Previous studies have revealed an additional role for AngII in the regulation of cutaneous wound healing. To evaluate the association between AngII and abnormal pigmentation of cutaneous wound healing, the present study used human melanocytes to investigate the effects of AngII on melanogenesis, and to elucidate t...
متن کاملIntranasal angiotensin II in humans reduces blood pressure when angiotensin II type 1 receptors are blocked.
Intranasal administration of angiotensin II (ANGII) affects blood pressure in a mode different from intravenously administered ANGII via a direct access to the brain bypassing the blood-brain barrier. This clinical study investigated blood pressure regulation after intranasal ANGII administration in healthy humans, whereas systemic, blood-mediated effects of ANGII were specifically blocked. In ...
متن کاملDownregulation of angiotensin II type 1 receptors during sepsis.
Our study aimed to characterize the mechanisms underlying the attenuated cardiovascular responsiveness toward the renin-angiotensin system during sepsis. For this purpose, we determined the effects of experimental Gram-negative and Gram-positive sepsis in rats. We found that sepsis led to a ubiquitous upregulation of NO synthase isoform II expression and to pronounced hypotension. Despite incre...
متن کاملDual role of angiotensin II in the human endometrium.
Angiotensin II (ANG) promotes cell proliferation and angiogenesis as well as being a potent vasoconstrictor. The cellular distribution of renin, ANG and its receptors in the endometrium has yielded useful information about the possible role of the renin-angiotensin system in cyclic menstruation. In the early proliferative phase, intense ANG-like immunostaining was detected in stroma and glandul...
متن کاملAssessing the Relationship of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptors with Erythropoietin in a Human Model of Endogenous Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Antagonism.
HYPOTHESIS/INTRODUCTION Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been shown to control erythropoietin (EPO) synthesis as Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blockers block Ang-II-induced EPO oversecretion. To further explore the involvement of AT1R in processes controlling EPO levels, plasma EPO and mononuclear cell NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) - a NOX family member involved in oxygen sensing, which is a process centra...
