The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) constitutes a key hormonal system in the physiological
regulation of blood pressure through peripheral and central mechanisms. Indeed …

The concept of local renin–angiotensin systems has been introduced almost 20 years ago to
explain the beneficial blood pressure-independent effects of ACE inhibitors and AT1 …

Angiotensin II (Ang II), a circulating hormone that can be synthesized locally in the
vasculature, has been implicated in diabetes-associated vascular complications. This study …

Increasing evidence indicates that inflammation of visceral organs is significantly affected by
the autonomic nervous system. Such neuroimmune interactions have not been studied in …

The results of recent studies have demonstrated that angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7) contributes to
the antihypertensive actions of either combined ACE/Ang II type 1 receptor blockade or ACE …

Objective: To assess the importance, for vasoconstriction, of in situ angiotensin (Ang) II
generation, as opposed to Ang II delivery to AT receptors via the organ bath fluid. Methods …

To assess the importance for vasoconstriction of in situ angiotensin (Ang) II generation, as
opposed to Ang II delivery via the circulation, we determined forearm vasoconstriction in …

We investigated the role of the vascular endothelium in the local production of angiotensin.
Angiotensin release from isolated rat hindquarters perfused with an artificial medium was …

We investigated why angiotensin (Ang) I and II induce vasoconstriction with similar
potencies, although Ang I‐II conversion is limited. Construction of concentration‐response …

Recent studies are reviewed, concerning the in vivo wall stiffness of arteries and arterioles in
healthy humans, and how these properties adapt to iterative increments or sustained …
