Inflammation, angiotensin II, and hypertension.
Inflammation, Angiotensin II, and Hypertension To the Editor: In a recent article, Liao et al1 used mice lacking the CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) to test the hypothesis that CCR2 activation plays an important role in the renal damage induced by angiotensin infusions. In their elegant article, it was also shown that CCR2 / mice and CCR2 / mice developed similar elevations of blood pressure des...
متن کاملInterplay of hypertension, inflammation, and angiotensin II.
I nflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart failure, and hypertension. Many studies have reported that clinical and experimental hypertension is associated with enhanced inflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and cytokines at both tissue and circulating levels.1 This inflammatory situation could be primari...
متن کاملInteraction between Angiotensin Ii, Hypertension and Inflammation in Rat Kidney
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ANGIOTENSIN II, HYPERTENSION AND INFLAMMATION IN RAT KIDNEY (Abstract): The renin-angiotensin system is one of the most important regulatory mechanisms of blood pressure homeostasis. Hypertension, a risk factor for chronic kidney disease, is able to induce renal injury by promoting inflammation. Inflammatory cytokines can induce fibrosis in various organs, including the kid...
متن کاملCrocin 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 کاملEnhanced aldosterone response to angiotensin II in human hypertension.
Adrenal and vascular responsiveness to graded doses of angiotensin II (A II) were recorded for seven normal subjects and 12 patients with essential hypertension while in balance on an intake of 200 mEq sodium/100 mEq potassium. Patients with essential hypertension had been previously studied and known to have normal responses of plasma renin activity to sodium restriction and upright posture. A...
