The Effects of Angiotensin II and Captopril on Expression of Morphine Withdrawal Signs in Rat
The mechanisms of drug dependence and rewarding properties of opiates are not exactly known and several neurotransmitters seem to be involved. It is possible that the rennin-angiotensin system could interact with the opioid system, since it has been shown that angiotensin II(Ang) and ACE inhibitors have analgesic, anticonvulsant and antidepression effects and in some cases they could antagonize...

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 کاملRenoprotective Effects of Various Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers in Patients with Early-Stage Diabetic Nephropathy.
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system provides renoprotection independent of blood pressure lowering. The aim of the present study was to determine whether various angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) affect urinary albumin excretion (UAE), urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels ...
متن کاملCombination therapy of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers in chronic kidney disease
Dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) with a combination of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers for the treatment of hypertension and proteinuria has been tested in several randomized trials among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although combination therapy reduces proteinuria and blood pressure, adequately powered studies evaluat...
