متن کاملRenal extraction of angiotensin II.
Angiotensin II regulates many aspects of renal function and thereby influences long-term blood pressure. The effects of angiotensin II on the kidney have been exhaustively studied; however, the converse (i.e., effects of the kidney on angiotensin II) has received little attention. Accordingly, the focus of this study was to determine whether renal degradation of angiotensin II is regulated by c...
متن کاملAngiotensin II and renal fibrosis.
Angiotensin (Ang) II, the main peptide of the renin angiotensin system (RAS), is a renal growth factor, inducing hyperplasia/hypertrophy depending on the cell type. This vasoactive peptide activates mesangial and tubular cells and interstitial fibroblasts, increasing the expression and synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins. Some of these effects seem to be mediated by the release of other ...
متن کاملHow does angiotensin II cause renal injury?
Based on several important clinical trials, the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure 7 (JNC 7) approves the use of angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and/or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in the first-line treatment for hypertension in subjects with chronic renal insufficiency, in diabetic subj...
متن کاملRenal endothelin in chronic angiotensin II hypertension.
To determine the influence of chronic ANG II infusion on urinary, plasma, and renal tissue levels of immunoreactive endothelin (ET), ANG II (65 ng/min) or saline vehicle was delivered via osmotic minipump in male Sprague-Dawley rats given either a high-salt diet (10% NaCl) or normal-salt diet (0.8% NaCl). High-salt diet alone caused a slight but not statistically significant increase (7 +/- 1%)...
