Prolactin is a protein hormone of the anterior pituitary gland that was originally named for its
ability to promote lactation in response to the suckling stimulus of hungry young mammals …

Fitzsimons, JT Angiotensin, Thirst, and Sodium Appetite. Physiol. Rev. 78: 583–686, 1998.—
Angiotensin (ANG) II is a powerful and phylogenetically widespread stimulus to thirst and …

THERE are two major angiotensin II receptor isoforms, AT1 and AT2. AT1 mediates the well-
known pressor and mitogenic effects of angiotensin II (refs 1-5), but the signalling …

There has been an explosive growth of interest in the multiple interacting paracrine systems
that influence renal microvascular function. This review first discusses the membrane …

Angiotensin II (ANG II), generated by activation of local renin-angiotensin systems, is
believed to play an important role in tissue repair and remodeling, in part via transforming …

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is recognized as a key element in blood pressure
regulation and electrolyte/fluid homeostasis. 1 As outlined in Figure 1, the RAS constitutes a …

In this study we describe a new angiotensin antagonist [Asp 1-Arg 2-Val 3-Tyr 4-Ile 5-His 6-
D-Ala 7,(A-779)] selective for the heptapeptide angiotensin-(1–7)[Ang-(1–7)]. A-779 blocked …

We investigated the immunohistochemical alterations of angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE), angiotensin II and AT1 receptor in the parietal cortex in Alzheimer's dementia (AD) to …

Background Because LDL and the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor are thought to be
involved in the pathogenesis of chronic vascular disease, we studied possible interactions …

In addition to its traditional role as a circulating hormone, angiotensin is also involved in
local functions through the activity of tissue renin-angiotensin systems that occur in many …
