Several studies have shown that during gastrointestinal digestion, food processing and …

Marine organisms are rich sources of structurally diverse bioactive compounds. Recently, a
great deal of interest has been expressed regarding marine-derived bioactive peptides …

In the current study, three different types of cheese, cheddar, feta, and Roquefort, were
screened to determine the variations in phenolic-linked antioxidant activity and the potential …

The endothelium is a thin monocelular layer that covers all the inner surface of the blood
vessels, separating the circulating blood from the tissues. It is not an inactive organ, quite the …

In the current study, we screened 7 clonal lines from single seed phenotypes of Lamiaceae

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a coordinated hormonal cascade in the control of
cardiovascular, renal, and adrenal function that governs body fluid and electrolyte balance …

Angiotensin I–converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to
vasoconstrictor angiotensin II, and also inactivates the antihypertensive vasodilator …

Activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) results in vasoconstriction,

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system regulates renal vasomotor activity, maintains
optimal salt and water homeostasis, and controls tissue growth in the kidney. However …

Angiotensins are peptide hormones derived from the protein precursor angiotensinogen by
the sequential actions of proteolytic enzymes (Figure 1). The classic pathway of angiotensin …
