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

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is well-known for its role in blood pressure regulation
via the renin–angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) but also functions in fertility, immunity …

T LYMPHOCYTES can recognize and be activated by a very small number of complexes of
peptide with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules displayed on the surface of …

Abstract ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING enzyme (ACE) is a dipeptidyl carboxy-peptidase that
generates the vasoconstricting peptide angiotensin II and inactivates the vasodilating …

There has been an explosive growth of interest in the multiple interacting paracrine systems
that influence renal microvascular function. This review first discusses the membrane …

Angiotensin II (ANG II), generated by activation of local renin-angiotensin systems, is
believed to play an important role in tissue repair and remodeling, in part via transforming …

The bloodstream is the main transporting pathway for drug delivery systems (DDS) from the
site of administration to the intended site of action. In many cases, components of the …

Intrarenal angiotensin II (Ang II) is regulated by several complex processes involving
formation from both systemically delivered and intrarenally formed substrate, as well as …

REACTIVE oxygen species have been implicated both in the ageing process and in
degenerative diseases, including arthritis and cancer1, 2. Bacteria adapt to the lethal effects …

Abstract Angiotensin-(1-7)[Ang-(1-7)] was recently recognized to have novel biological
functions that are distinct from those of Ang II. In these studies, we determined the vasoactive …
