Weight loss and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has been causally implicated in obesity-associated hypertension. We studied the influence of obesity and weight reduction on the circulating and adipose tissue renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in menopausal women. Blood samples were analyzed for angiotensinogen, renin, aldosterone, angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, and angiotensin II. In adipos...
متن کاملThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system: approaches to cardiac and renal therapy.
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a prominent role in the pathophysiology of cardiac and renal diseases. Aldosterone leads to local effects of vasoconstriction, sodium resorption, and possibly inflammation and fibrosis in several organs. Pharmacologic manipulation of the RAAS may involve renin inhibitors, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II–receptor bloc...
متن کاملRenin angiotensin aldosterone system altered in resistant hypertension in Sub-Saharan African diabetes patients without evidence of primary hyperaldosteronism
BACKGROUND The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system may be altered in patients with resistant hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activity and resistant hypertension in Cameroonian diabetes patients with resistant hypertension. METHODS We carried out a case-control study including 19 diabetes patients with resistant hypertension...
متن کاملActivation of the Renin-Angiotensin system mediates the effects of dietary salt intake on atherogenesis in the apolipoprotein E knockout mouse.
Dietary salt intake is a major determinant of the activation state of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Given the important role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in plaque accumulation, we investigated its role in the development of atherogenesis associated with sodium intake in apolipoprotein E knockout mice. Six-weeks of a low-salt diet (containing 0.03% sodium) resulted in a 4...
