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 …

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a pathological condition mainly characterized by a loss of
muscular mass and the contractile capacity of the skeletal muscle as a consequence of …

Memory is a process in which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. For vertebrates,
the modern view has been that it occurs only in the brain. This review describes a cellular …

Abstract Angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) is a multifunctional transmembrane
protein recently recognised as the entry receptor of the virus causing COVID-19. In the renin …

Skeletal muscle is a tissue that shows the most plasticity in the body; it can change in
response to physiological and pathological stimuli. Among the diseases that affect skeletal …

Skeletal muscle atrophy is characterized by the degradation of myofibrillar proteins, such as
myosin heavy chain or troponin. An increase in the expression of two muscle‐specific E3 …

Obesity can lead to skeletal muscle atrophy, a pathological condition characterized by the
loss of strength and muscle mass. A feature of muscle atrophy is a decrease of myofibrillar …

Angiotensins are a group of hormonal peptides and include angiotensin II and angiotensin 1–
7 produced by the renin angiotensin system. The biology, pharmacology and biochemistry of …

Overactivation of the renin–angiotensin (Ang) system (RAS) increases the classical arm
(Ang-converting enzyme (ACE)/Ang II/Ang type 1 receptor (AT1R)) to the detriment of the …

Skeletal muscle loss is a detrimental side-effect of numerous chronic diseases that
dramatically increases mortality and morbidity. The alteration of protein homeostasis is …
