The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a key player in the control of the cardiovascular
system and hydroelectrolyte balance, with an influence on organs and functions throughout …

Abstract Angiotensin (Ang)-(1–7) is now recognized as a biologically active component of
the renin–angiotensin system (RAS). Ang-(1–7) appears to play a central role in the RAS …

It is well known that the RAS (renin–angiotensin system) plays a key role in the modulation
of many functions in the body. AngII (angiotensin II) acting on AT1R (type 1 AngII receptor) …

The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) has recently been extended by the addition of a novel
axis consisting of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the heptapeptide …

Abstract Angiotensin II (Ang II), a bioactive peptide of the renin–angiotensin system (RAAS),
plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) …

In the past few years, the classical concept of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) has
experienced substantial conceptual changes. The identification of: the renin/prorenin …

The previously unsuspected complexity of the renin–angiotensin system, unmasked by
novel findings, has revealed new possibilities for exploring its physiological and …

Despite the tremendous success obtained using the current pharmacotherapy, especially
angiotensin (Ang)-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (ACEis) and Ang II receptor blockers …

Thirty years ago, a novel axis of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was unveiled by the
discovery of angiotensin-(1− 7)[ANG-(1− 7)] generation in vivo. Later, angiotensin …

The last decade has seen the discovery of several new components of the renin-angiotensin
system (RAS). Among them, angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) and the Mas receptor …
