Angiotensin II (AngII), the major effector peptide of renin–angiotensin system (RAS), is now
recognized as a growth factor that regulates cell growth and fibrosis, besides being a …

Vascular inflammation is involved in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, and is
also present in hypertension-and diabetes-induced vascular complications. Angiotensin II …

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has emerged as one of the essential links in the
pathophysiology of vascular disease. Angiotensin (Ang) II, the main peptide of the RAS, was …

It is now well established that vascular inflammation is an independent risk factor for the
development of atherosclerosis. In otherwise healthy patients, chronic elevations of …

Many experimental data have suggested that the renin-angiotensin system participates in
immune and inflammatory responses. Angiotensin II is involved in several steps of the …

The renin angiotensin system (RAS) participates in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular
diseases. Although angiotensin II has been considered the effector peptide of RAS …

Angiotensin (Ang) II, the main effector of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), is one of the
major mediators of vascular remodeling in hypertension. Besides being a potent vasoactive …

Abstract Purpose of Review Mechanisms facilitating progression of hypertension via cross
stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and inflammation have been proposed …

Vascular injury, characterized by endothelial dysfunction, structural remodelling,
inflammation and fibrosis, plays an important role in cardiovascular diseases. Cellular …

Abstract Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a pleiotropic hormone that influences the function of many
cell types and regulates many organ systems. In the cardiovascular system, it is a potent …
