Blockade of Central Angiotensin II AT1 Receptor Protects the Brain from Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Normotensive Rats
Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of invalidism and death in industrialized countries. There are conflicting reports about the effects of Angiotensin II on ischemia-reperfusion brain injuries and most data have come from chronic hypertensive rats. In this study, hypotensive and non-hypotensive doses of candesartan were used to investigate the effects of angiotensin II AT1 receptor b...
متن کاملRole of Bradykinin and Mas Receptor Blockade in Renal Vascular Responses to Angiotensin 1-7 in Adult Female Rats
Background and purpose: Chronic kidney disease is among the common diseases in the world. Studies show that women are more protected against renal diseases compared to men. On the other hand, vasodilatory axises of renin angiotensin system (angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7)- Mas receptor (MasR)), kallikrein-kinin, and nitric oxide (NO) play key roles in kidney function and circulation in females. There...
متن کاملInteratrial Block: A Virtual Pandemic Requiring Attention
Interatrial block (IAB) denotes a conduction delay between the two atria (P-wave duration ≥110 ms). Depending on the severity of the block, IAB can be partial or advanced. Even though several studies have reported a high prevalence of IAB, it still remains a diagnosis many neglect without any follow-up. The crisis in IAB is undramatic until predictable complications appear. Nevertheless, the da...
متن کاملAngiotensin II receptor blockade reduces tachycardia-induced atrial adhesion molecule expression.
BACKGROUND Increased levels of inflammatory markers are predictors of thromboembolic events during atrial fibrillation (AF). Increased endocardial expression of adhesion molecules (ie, vascular cell adhesion molecule [VCAM] and intercellular adhesion molecule [ICAM]) could be an important link between initiation of inflammatory and prothrombogenic mechanisms responsible for thrombus development...
متن کاملAngiotensin type 1 receptor blockade prevents endocardial dysfunction of rapidly paced atria in rats.
INTRODUCTION Atrial fibrillation (AF) per se causes atrial endocardial dysfunction leading to local coagulation imbalance on the internal surface of the atrium, which contributes to thrombus formation in the fibrillating left atrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS To test a hypothesis that blockade of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-receptor) prevents the endocardial dysfunction by AF, we examined...
