conclusions garlic powder consumption can reduce blood pressure, yet in this model, it did not have an effect on the interaction between renin angiotensin system and nitric oxide inhibition. results at the beginning and at the end of experiments, systolic blood pressure was higher in the hypertensive groups than the normotensive group. however, at the end of the study, diastolic blood pressure ...

objective(s): hyperglycemia, oxidative stress and apoptosis have key roles in pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy. there are local renin-angiotensin systems (rass) in different tissues such as neural tissue. local rass are involved in physiological and pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, proliferation and apoptosis. this study aimed to investigate the role of local renin-angioten...

a series of angiotensin ii (a ii) receptor antagonist of some substituted 5-(biphenyl-4-ylmethyl) pyrazole were subjected to qsar analysis using hansch and fujita-ban model, by using combination of thermodynamic, electronic, spatial descriptor and presence or absence of substituent respectively. several qsar model were obtained using stepwise regression analysis. two models from both the method...

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) ...

the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (raas) plays pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (ckd) progression and its increased complications such as hypertension (ht) and cardiovascular diseases (cvd). previous studies suggested that aliskiren a direct renin inhibitor, blocks raas and may be effective for the management of ckd and its complications. this review focuses on...

The important renal endocrine aspect implicated in gym nephropathy is the activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Intense exercise can lead to increased sympathetic nervous activity, resulting release renin from juxtaglomerular cells kidneys. Renin acts on angiotensinogen, leading generation angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II stimulates secretion aldoste...

(Pro)renin receptor (PRR) is the recently discovered component of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS). Many organs contain their own RAS, wherein PRR can exert organ-specific localized effects. The Binding prorenin/renin to activates angiotensin-dependent and independent pathways which leads development physiological pathological Continued progress in research suggests that upregulation ...
