Aim This study investigates whether a local renin–angiotensin system (RAS) exists in mouse
colon and whether angiotensin II (Ang II) may play a role in the regulation of the contractile …

Aim To analyse the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on the contractility of human sigmoid
colon, and to characterize the subtype (s) of receptor (s) involved and the related action …

Abstract Background Angiotensin II (Ang II), the main peptide of the renin‐angiotensin
system (RAS), has been suggested to be involved in inflammatory bowel diseases. Since …

Actions of ANG II on electrical and synaptic behavior of enteric neurons in the guinea pig
small intestine were studied. Exposure to ANG II depolarized the membrane potential and …

Aim: Angiotensin II is well known for its contractile effects on smooth muscle cells. This effect
is also present in the gut previously shown in animal models. The aim of this study was to …

Angiotensin II (Ang II) regulates colon contraction, acting not only directly on smooth muscle
but also indirectly, interfering with myenteric neuromodulation mediated by the activation of …

Abstract Background: Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a well‐known activator of smooth muscle in
the vasculature but has been little explored with regard to intestinal wall muscular activity …

Hypertension is an inflammatory condition controlled by the renin angiotensin system and is
linked to kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and recently to dysfunction of the gut. The aim of …

Effect of ANG II was investigated in in vitro smooth muscle strips and in isolated smooth
muscle cells (SMC). Among different species, rat internal and sphincter (IAS) smooth muscle …

Angiotensin II is known to regulate motility and ion and water absorption in the intestine.
These effects are presumed to be mediated by angiotensin II (ANG II) receptors that are …
