There was a concern that drugs called or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which are used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure, could increase levels of the ACE2 proteins, the receptor on the surface of cells in the body. (40 words)
Angiotensin II also acts on the smooth muscle in the walls of the arterioles causing these small diameter vessels to constrict, thereby restricting the outflow of blood from the arterial tree, causing the arterial blood pressure to rise. (38 words)
The angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone released from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands has an effect on particularly the epithelial cells of the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidneys. (33 words)
Example sentences (20)
Angiotensin I also disappears in the pulmonary circulation because of its conversion to angiotensin II.
Angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs) block the angiotensin II receptors that are linked to hypertension and heart failure, mainly through vasodilation & heart remodeling inhibition.
The conversion of the inactive angiotensin I to the potent angiotensin II was thought to take place in the plasma.
There was a concern that drugs called or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which are used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure, could increase levels of the ACE2 proteins, the receptor on the surface of cells in the body.
Angiotensin II also acts on the smooth muscle in the walls of the arterioles causing these small diameter vessels to constrict, thereby restricting the outflow of blood from the arterial tree, causing the arterial blood pressure to rise.
Angiotensin, on the other hand, causes vasoconstriction on the systemic arterioles, and acts as a dipsogen for ostriches.
At these elevated levels, angiotensin II also constricts the afferent arteriole into the glomerulus in addition to the efferent arteriole it normally constricts.
Certain enzymes are capable of breaking down bradykinin (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, Aminopeptidase P).
Conversely, when renin levels are low, angiotensin II and aldosterone levels decrease, contracting the extracellular fluid compartment, and decreasing blood pressure.
Fainting can occur but usually baroreceptors within the aortic sinuses initiate a baroreflex such angiotensin II and norepinephrine stimulate vasoconstriction and heart rate increases to return blood flow.
In these patients, maintenance of GFR depends on angiotensin-II-dependent efferent vasomotor tone.
It contains around 1700 unique antihypertensive peptides citation *Arfalasin (HOE 409) is angiotensin antagonist.
Suppression of angiotensin II leads to a decrease in aldosterone levels.
The angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone released from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands has an effect on particularly the epithelial cells of the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidneys.
The low angiotensin II levels in the blood lower the arterial blood pressure as an inevitable concomitant response.
These include paracrine factors (e.g. prostaglandins ), a number of hormones (e.g. vasopressin and angiotensin ) and neurotransmitters (e.g. epinephrine ) from the nervous system.
This 'dual blockade' may be more effective than using an ACE inhibitor alone, because angiotensin II can be generated via non-ACE-dependent pathways.
This is particularly important in renal failure where the kidney is trying to maintain renal perfusion pressure by elevated angiotensin II levels.
Under normal conditions, angiotensin II has these effects: * Vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) and vascular smooth muscle hypertrophy (enlargement) induced by AII may lead to increased blood pressure and hypertension.
Use in combination The combination therapy of angiotensin II receptor antagonists with ACE inhibitors may be superior to either agent alone.
