a series of angiotensin ii (a ii) receptor antagonist of some substituted 5-(biphenyl-4-ylmethyl) pyrazole were subjected to qsar analysis using hansch and fujita-ban model, by using combination of thermodynamic, electronic, spatial descriptor and presence or absence of substituent respectively. several qsar model were obtained using stepwise regression analysis. two models from both the method...

introduction: renin angiotensin system has an important role in blood pressure and renal functions. active angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 converts angiotensin i into angiotensin-(1-7) which is a vasodilator hormone and interacts with nitric oxide changes as well as other angiotensin ii receptors. in this study we evaluated the role of mas receptor antagonist (a779) and renal perfusion pressure...

Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) upregulation in stromal cells of joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis may lead to higher tissue angiotensin II that is a vasoconstrictor and mitogen factor. To date, the role of angiotensin II on regulating blood flow in inflamed joints has not been studied. Methods: Acute and chronic joint inflammation was induced in rabbits by intra-articular...

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a group of viruses that induce infection in the respiratory and other systems in the human body. There are two coronaviruses that transmitted from animals to humans including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) (1). The novel coronavirus that appeared at first in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 was named as severe acut...

stroke is the leading cause of death and disability in the world after the cancer and cardiovascular diseases. genetic factors have main significance to got stroke. renin-angiotensin system contains candidate genes and polymorphisms for causing stroke. there are reported associations between stroke and angiotensin ii type-1 receptor g. 1166a > c polymorphism (rs5186). therefore in this study th...

conclusions the at1r a1166c polymorphism appeared not to be associated with the presence of acs in the population studied. background there are very limited data for iranian populations on the predisposing genetic factors for acute coronary syndrome (acs). results there was no statistical difference in the genotype frequency of patients and healthy subjects with regard to age and gender (p > 0....

there are controversial reports about the effect of captopril on pain modulation. also while captopril may potentiate morphine analgesia, enalapril has not such an effect and interaction of morphine with angiotensin ii receptor antagonists and other angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors has not been studied yet. therefore, this study was designed to assess the effect of captopril, lisinopril...
