Dissociation between the circulating renin-angiotensin system and angiotensin II receptors in central losartan-induced hypertension

The activation of the renin-angiotensin system by unilateral renal ischemia causes arterial hypertension, myocardial hypertrophy, myocyte necrosis and a perivascular

When the effect of lead administration on angiotensin II-induced water and salt intake was studied, normohy- drated animals received third ventricle injections of angiotensin II

Figure 2 - Changes in perfusion pressure in the isolated rat mes- enteric arterial bed induced by bolus injections of angiotensin II (Ang II; 19 pmol), angiotensin I (Ang l; 116

In order to examine the effects and the interaction of angiotensin II (ANG II, 1 pM) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP, 1 µM) on the kinetics of bicarbonate reabsorption in the

In this paper we will review some of our studies which have as their emphasis the examination of the role of sex differences and sex steroids in modulating the central actions

other enzymes besides ACE generating Ang II, the so-called alternative pathways of Ang II generation, such as human chymase and rat elastase-2, suggests that these proteases may

Plasma angiotensin- converting enzyme (ACE) activ- ity (A), plasma renin activity (B), plasma angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang- (1-7)) levels (C), and plasma an- giotensin II (Ang II) levels
