Crocin prevents acute angiotensin II-induced hypertension in anesthetized rats
Objective: Angiotensin II (Ang II), the main product of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a well-known role in cardiovascular regulation. Over-production of Ang II is one of the important underlying mechanisms of hypertension. In this study, the effect of crocin on cardiovascular responses in rats with acute hypertension induced by Ang II was evaluated. Materials and methods: Rats were divided...
متن کاملEffects of angiotensin II intervention on MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and collagen expression in rats with pulmonary hypertension.
This study investigated the effects of angiotensin II (AngII) intervention, using captopril and losartan, on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), and collagen in rats with pulmonary hypertension, in an effort to understand mechanisms underlying pulmonary vascular remodeling. A total of 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats were ran...
متن کاملMMP-2 mediates angiotensin II-induced hypertension under the transcriptional control of MMP-7 and TACE.
Development of cardiovascular disease induced by excessive Gq protein-coupled receptor agonist stimulation depends on signaling networks involving multiple matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and metalloproteinase disintegrins (ADAMs). Here, we hypothesized that MMP-2, being a major gelatinase in cardiac and vascular tissue, was likely to play a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis. We targeted ...
متن کاملSex differences in angiotensin II- induced hypertension.
Sex differences in the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease have been described in humans and in animal models. 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 of angiotensin II (ANG II) via interactions with free radicals and nitric oxide, generating...
متن کاملAsymmetric dimethylarginine in angiotensin II-induced hypertension.
Recent studies have shown that asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, is increased in hypertension and chronic kidney disease. However, little is known about the effects of hypertension per se on ADMA metabolism. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that ANG II-induced hypertension, in the absence of renal injury, is associated with increased oxid...
