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 کاملIntrarenal angiotensin II augmentation in angiotensin II dependent hypertension.
In several models of angiotensin II (ANG II) dependent hypertension, intrarenal ANG II levels increase to a much greater extent than the circulating levels even though the renal renin levels are decreased. The 2-kidney-1-clip (2K1C) Goldblatt rat model is particularly intriguing because hypertension develops in the presence of an intact kidney which would be expected to maintain sodium balance ...
متن کاملAngiotensin II and Aging
Organ malfunction is an inevitable result of the natural process of aging which all species undergo. Modifications in organ structure directly related to aging cause functional deterioration of varying degrees in humans by, among other things, leading to replacement of functional parenchyma by fibro-connective tissues and induction of arteriosclerosis in the blood vessels of several organs. Age...
متن کاملAngiotensin II receptor blockers.
BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2003;16:123–126 The angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) represent a newer class of antihypertensive agents. Their mechanism of action differs from that of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which also affect the renin-angiotensin system. The ARBs were developed to overcome several of the deficiencies of ACE inhibitors: competitive inhibition of ACE results ...
متن کاملAngiotensin II receptor antagonists.
The development of novel non-peptide compounds with high affinity for-angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors has greatly facilitated the subclassification of Ang II receptors into AT1- and AT2-receptor subtypes. Whereas PD 123177 (1-(4-amino-3-methylphenyl)methyl-5-diphenyl-acetyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro- 1H-imidazol [4,5-c]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid) is the prototypical antagonist for AT2-receptors, DuP...
