    Abstract : The kidney is one of the most important and complex organs in the humanbody with the task of filtering hundreds of litres of blood daily. It is responsiblefor the salt and acid/base balance in the body, as well as secretinghormones important for red blood cell production and blood pressure regulation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Angiotensin II and vascular disease. Studies in rats and atherosclerosis-prone mice

    Author : Maria E Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : angiotensin II; atherosclerosis; AT1 receptor; AT2 receptor; blood pressure; hyperinsulinemia; hypertension; oxidative stress; salt; vascular disease; vascular function;

    Abstract : Angiotensin II (Ang II) is of importance for a number of physiological processes but also plays an important pathophysiological role in cardiovascular disease. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the role of Ang II in hypertension-related atherosclerosis and vascular disease and to investigate possible anti-atherosclerotic effects of the angiotensin II, type 2 (AT2) receptor.

    Abstract : Genetic factors are of importance for the development of primary hypertension (HT). Intrauterine growth retardation, salt sensitivity and insulin resistance are all characteristic features of individuals prone to develop HT. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Influence of the Adenosine A1-receptor on Tubuloglomerular Feedback and Renin Release

    Author : Russell Brown; A Erik G Persson; Pontus Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; adenosine; tubuloglomerular feedback; renin release; blood pressure; micropuncture; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The kidneys play a vital role in the maintenance of extracellular fluid and electrolyte balance and blood pressure. Adenosine, acting through the adenosine A1-receptor (A1R), and nitric oxide have been implicated in several of the regulatory mechanisms in the kidney. READ MORE
