Angiotensin (ANG) II is a powerful and phylogenetically widespread stimulus to thirst and …

The brain's three sensory circumventricular organs, the subfornical organ, organum
vasculosum of the lamina terminalis and the area postrema lack a blood brain barrier and …

I. Introduction A ngiotensin (ANG II) was discovered about 50 yr ago (1, 2), and a complete
peripheral system for the formation and metabolism of ANG II was soon characterized. It was …

We have recently shown that hydrolysis of labeled angiotensin I in canine brainstem
homogenate causes a rapid accumulation of the heptapeptide angiotensin-(1-7)[Ang-(1-7)] …

Abstract Angiotensin II (Ang II) exerts a number of central actions on fluid and electrolyte
homeostasis, autonomic activity, and neuroendocrine regulation. In order to evaluate likely …

The SARS-CoV-2 virus gains entry to cells by binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2
(ACE2). Since circumventricular organs and parts of the hypothalamus lack a blood–brain …

Considerable evidence now suggests that the precursors and enzymes necessary for the
formation and degradation of biologically active forms of angiotensins are present in brain …

The concentrations of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity, norepinephrine, and
serotonin were measured in microdissected regions of the dog's brainstem and spinal cord …

This review summarizes emerging evidence that supports the notion of a separate brain
renin-angiotensin system (RAS) complete with the necessary precursors and enzymes for …

Placode-derived general visceral afferent neurons of the nodose ganglion transmit visceral
sensory information from specialized sensory endings of the vagus nerve and its branches …
