Background: The renin angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in inflammation
and fibrosis. The classical axis of the RAS, formed by angiotensin converting en-zyme …

Recent advances have improved our understanding of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS).
These have included the recognition that angiotensin (A ng)‐(1‐7) is a biologically active …

Abstract The Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) is a pivotal physiological regulator of heart
and kidney homeostasis, but also plays an important role in the pathophysiology of heart …

Inflammation is a normal part of the immune response to injury or infection but its
dysregulation promotes the development of inflammatory diseases, which cause …

The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is a pivotal regulator of physiological
homeostasis and diseases of the cardiovascular system. Recently, new factors have been …

Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of vascular disease worldwide and contributes
significantly to deaths from cardiovascular complications. There is a remarkably close …

Background/Aims: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Intracellular adhesion
molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and monocyte …

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS), aside its classical hormonal properties, has been
implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders. The angiotensin converting …

Activation of the renin-angiotensin (Ang) system induces inflammation via interaction
between Ang II and type 1 receptor on leukocytes. The relevance of the new arm of the renin …

The most classical view of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) emphasizes its role as an
endocrine regulator of sodium balance and blood pressure. However, it has long become …
