Journal ArticleDOI

The renin-angiotensin system and its involvement in vascular disease.

TL;DR: The beneficial therapeutic effects of inhibition of the RAS on the vasculature are discussed, as well as the need for additive effects on top of RAS inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain Renin-Angiotensin System: Does It Exist?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified brain renin, before and after buffer perfusion of the brain, in wild-type mice, renin knockout mice, deoxycorticosterone acetate salt-treated mice, and Ang II-infused mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

AT1-receptor blockade, but not renin inhibition, reduces aneurysm growth and cardiac failure in fibulin-4 mice

TL;DR: Losartan, but not aliskiren or propranolol, improved survival in fibulin-4R/R mice, which most likely relates to its capacity to improve structure and function of both aorta and heart.
