BACKGROUND
Vitamin D deficiency and obesity are associated with increased tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to evaluate whether vitamin D(3) therapy in obesity reduces tissue-RAS activity, as indicated by an increase in tissue sensitivity to
BACKGROUND
Obese patients are more prone to post-injury multiple organ failure (MOF). Obesity pathophysiology includes an adipose-tissue-derived, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system affecting inflammatory responses via leukocyte angiotensin receptors. We hypothesized that obese patients receiving
OBJECTIVE
Angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonists induce weight loss; however, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is unknown. The Mas receptor agonist angiotensin-(1-7) is a metabolite of angiotensin I and of angiotensin II . As an agonist of Mas receptors, angiotensin-(1-7) has beneficial
Angiotensin-(1-7) is a beneficial hormone of the renin-angiotensin system known to play a positive role in regulation of blood pressure and glucose homeostasis. Previous studies have shown that in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese male mice, circulating angiotensin-(1-7) levels are BACKGROUND
Gene-gene interactions may be partly responsible for complex traits such as obesity. Increasing evidence suggests that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) contributes to the etiology of obesity. How the epistasis of genes in the RAS contributes to obesity is still under research. We aim to
The renin-angiotensin system is a key regulator of metabolism with beneficial effects of the angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) peptide. We hypothesized that the antiobesity effect of Ang 1-7 was related to the stimulation of brown adipose tissue (BAT). We administered Ang 1-7 (0.54 mg kg-1 day-1) for 28
Adipose tissue expresses all the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components that play an important role in the adipogenesis, lipid and glucose metabolism regulation in an auto/paracrine manner. The classical RAS has been found to be over-activated during the adipose tissue enlargement, thus elevated
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic risk factors that is linked to central obesity, elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance (IR), and dyslipidemia, where the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may provide a link among them. This study aimed to evaluate volume exercise effects comparing low
We investigate the effects of aerobic exercise training (AET) on the thermogenic response, substrate metabolism and renin angiotensin system (RAS) in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue (SC-WAT) of mice fed cafeteria diet (CAF). Male C57BL/6J mice were assigned into groups CHOW-SED (chow diet,
There is a gap in the knowledge regarding regulation of local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in skeletal muscle during development of obesity and insulin resistance in vivo. This study evaluates the obesity- and age-related changes in the expression of local RAS components. Since RAS affects
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on adipose and skeletal muscle tissue blood flow and lipolysis in normal-weight and obese subjects using the microdialysis technique. Microdialysis probes were placed in the abdominal sc adipose tissue left and
High-sodium intake is a risk factor for the pathogenesis of hypertension, especially in obesity. The present study is designed to investigate whether angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) activation with selective agonist C21 prevents high-sodium diet (HSD)-induced hypertension in obese animals. Male
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a key regulator of cardiovascular function. RAAS activity is upregulated in obesity despite concurrent renal sodium retention, which is a hallmark and principle determinant of obesity-associated hypertension. The contribution of adipose tissue to
AT1 receptor blockers and ACE inhibitors decrease the risk for new onset diabetes mellitus. The phenomenon could be related to a direct angiotensin II effect on tissue metabolism. To address the issue, we recruited eighteen obese hypertensive patients. Patients were randomized to double-blind
Obesity, hypertension, and their co-morbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease are major public health issues. This article reviews research that links hypertension and obesity, particularly the android obesity pattern that characterizes the metabolic syndrome. The
