buckwheat rutin has been found to be able to inhibit angiotensin ii (angii) - induced hypertrophy in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, but the mechanism remains uncertain. in this study, myocardial hypertrophy model was made by adding angii to the medium of cardiac myocytes of neonatal rats, meanwhile, different concentrations of buckwheat rutin were applied to observe their effects. intrac...

purpose:  to determine whether angiotensin ii levels in aqueous humor is related to diabetes mellitus and to evaluate the effect of captopril. methods: in a case-control study, aqueous humor samples were obtained during cataract surgery from 58 eyes of 58 patients, of which 37 were diabetic. from these latter subjects, 16 had taken captopril (captopril group) and 21 had not taken any angiotensi...

The adrenal cortex plays a key role in the regulation of metabolism, salt and water homeostasis sex differentiation by synthesizing glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid androgen hormones. Evidence exists that angiotensin II regulates adrenocortical function it has been contended peptides non-canonical branch renin system (RAS) might also modulate steroidogenesis adrenals. Thus, aim this review is ...
