OBJECTIVES: Long-term systemic blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) with either an angiotensin (Ang) II type 1 receptor antagonist or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor attenuates age-related cardiac remodeling and oxidative damage, and improves myocardial relaxation. However, the role of...

Urinary angiotensinogen is a marker for tubular injuries in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Int J Nephrol Renovasc Dis. 2013 Oct 22;6:233-40. doi: 10.2147/IJNRD.S51829. eCollection 2013.

PURPOSE: Urinary angiotensinogen has been reported as a marker for the activation of intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in various kidney diseases. To investigate the importance of urinary angiotensinogen in diabetic nephropathy, we compared the urinary levels of angiotensinogen, albumin,...

PP025. Measurement of the activity of the circulating and intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (iRAS) in pregnant and non-pregnant subjects.

Pregnancy hypertension

Pregnancy Hypertens. 2013 Apr;3(2):76. doi: 10.1016/j.preghy.2013.04.053. Epub 2013 Jun 06.

OBJECTIVES: To see if urinary angiotensinogen (uAGT)/creatinine and other urinary components of the RAS could be used to detect renal disease in pregnancy, as renal disease predisposes to preeclampsia.METHODS: Plasma and urinary prorenin, ACE and AGT (iRAS) were measured...

Angiotensin Receptors: Structure, Function, Signaling and Clinical Applications.

Angiotensinogen - a serpin family protein predominantly produced by the liver is systematically processed by proteases of the Renin Angiotensin system (RAS) generating hormone peptides. Specific cell surface receptors for at least three distinct angiotensin peptides produce distinct cellular...

Angiotensin-(1-7): A Novel Peptide to Treat Hypertension and Nephropathy in Diabetes?.

Journal of diabetes & metabolism

Padda RS, Shi Y, Lo CS, Zhang SL, Chan JS.
PMID: 26793405
J Diabetes Metab. 2015 Oct 14;6(10). doi: 10.4172/2155-6156.1000615.

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a pivotal role in mammalian homeostasis physiology. The RAS can be delineated into a classical RAS (the pressor arm) including angiotensinogen (Agt), renin, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin type 1...

Association of angiotensinogen gene SNPs and haplotypes with risk of hypertension in eastern Indian population.

Clinical hypertension

Clin Hypertens. 2017 Mar 29;23:12. doi: 10.1186/s40885-017-0069-x. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: Angiotensinogen (AGT) enzyme comprises a vital module of RAAS system that effectively controls the blood pressure and related cardiovascular functions. Ample association studies have reported the importance of AGT variants in cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular adversities. But lately, owing...

The mechanism of activation of local renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has not been clarified in diabetes mellitus (DM). We hypothesized that the local renal RAS will be activated via increased glomerular filtration and tubular uptake of prorenin and angiotensinogen...
