Angiotensin II type 2 receptor signaling affects dopamine levels in the brain and prevents binge eating disorder
Conclusions: Our study suggests that AT2 receptor stimulation may be a new therapeutic approach to improve eating disorder associated with dopamine resistance. (Source: Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System : JRAAS)

Aldosterone-induced inflammatory response of mesangial cells via angiotension II receptors
Conclusion: We demonstrated that aldosterone induced an inflammatory response in RMCs cultured in high-glucose media via the AT1a and AT2 pathways. (Source: Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System : JRAAS)

Aldosterone effects on glomerular structure and function
Conclusions: Aldosterone damages not only the structure but also the function of the glomerulus. ACE/ACE2 upregulation, ACE2 and ANP downregulation, and pro-oxidative and profibrotic changes are possible mechanisms accounting for aldosterone-induced glomerular injury.

ACE polymorphisms and the acute response of blood pressure to a walk in medicated hypertensive patients
Conclusions: Our results showed that postexercise hypotension can occur after a walk at moderate intensity in carriers of the I allele; we were not able to demonstrate this in DD individuals. Our results suggest that genetic variation in the ACE gene might affect the BP response to exercise, although more research is needed to confirm these findings.

A polymorphism in AGT and AGTR1 gene is associated with lead-related high blood pressure
We investigated the association of polymorphisms in two renin-angiotensin system-related genes, expressed as angiotensinogen (AGT) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1), with blood lead levels and lead-related blood pressure in lead-exposed male workers in Korea. A cross-sectional study involving 808 lead-exposed male workers in Korea was conducted using a restriction fragment length polymorphism-based strategy to differentiate the various genotypes of polymorphisms in the AGT and AGTR1 genes. The association of clinical characteristics with genotypes as modifiers was estimated after adjustment for age, smoking status...
