The renin–angiotensin system plays a critical role in blood pressure control and body fluid
and electrolyte homeostasis. Besides angiotensin (Ang) II, other Ang peptides, such as Ang …

Angiotensin (Ang)(1-7) is the endogenous ligand for the G protein–coupled receptor Mas, a
receptor associated with cardiac, renal, and cerebral protective responses. Physiological …

The Mas protooncogene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor, we identified, also by using
the specific angiotensin-(1-7) antagonist A-779, to be associated with intracellular signaling …

The renin-angiotensin system is an important component of the central and humoral
mechanisms of blood pressure and hydro-electrolytic balance control. Angiotensin II is a key …

Background Endothelial dysfunction is an initial step in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular
diseases. Since we previously identified the G protein-coupled receptor Mas as a receptor …

Recently, we demonstrated that the endothelium-dependent vasodilator effect of angiotensin
(1-7) in the mouse aorta is abolished by genetic deletion of the G protein-coupled receptor …

Angiotensin (Ang)-(1–7) has cardiovascular protective effects and is the opponent of the
often detrimental Ang II within the renin–angiotensin system. Although it is well accepted that …

Background—We previously identified the G-protein–coupled receptor Mas, encoded by the
Mas proto-oncogene, as an endogenous receptor for the heptapeptide angiotensin-(1-7); …

Angiotensin‐(1‐7)(Ang‐[1‐7]) is a heptapeptide member of the renin‐angiotensin system
(RAS), and acts as a vasodilator and antagonist of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the vasculature …

We have recently described, in the mouse aorta, the vasodilator effect of angiotensin-(1–
7)(Ang-(1–7)) was mediated by activation of the Mas Ang-(1–7) receptor and that A-779 and …
