The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), is an old system with new fundamental
roles in cancer biology which influences cell growth, migration, death, and metastasis. RAAS …

The novel function of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is cardiovascular homeostasis.
While the major active mediator angiotensin II (ANG II) produces most of the physiologic …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic progressive metabolic disorder associated with several
gastrointestinal complications, affecting up to 75% of patients. Knowing that Angiotensin II …

Angiotensin II (Ang II) regulates colon contraction, acting not only directly on smooth muscle
but also indirectly, interfering with myenteric neuromodulation mediated by the activation of …

In the first part of this article, the role of intestinal epithelial tight junctions (TJs), together with
gastrointestinal dopaminergic and renin–angiotensin systems, are narratively reviewed to …

Abstract Background Angiotensin II (Ang II), the main peptide of the renin‐angiotensin
system (RAS), has been suggested to be involved in inflammatory bowel diseases. Since …

Angiotensin II, the main effector of renin angiotensin system, plays an important role in the
inflammatory process and most of its effects are mediated through the AT1 receptor …

Background Because dopamine (DA) has gained increasing evidence as modulator of gut
motility, we aimed to characterize dopaminergic response in human colon, evaluating …

Aim To analyse the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on the contractility of human sigmoid
colon, and to characterize the subtype (s) of receptor (s) involved and the related action …

Abstract Background and Aim Inflammatory bowel disease is challenging to diagnose. Fecal
biomarkers offer noninvasive solutions. The renin–angiotensin‐aldosterone system is …
