Summary

The Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) involves new angiotensins like angiotensin III, IV, and (1-7). Angiotensin IV impacts memory and Alzheimer's, while angiotensin (1-7) counteracts angiotensin II's effects.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Physiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • The Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is a key hormonal system.
  • Recent research identifies new biologically active angiotensins derived from angiotensin II.
  • Understanding these fragments' roles is crucial for cardiovascular and neurological health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on circulating and tissue RAS.
  • To present formation, mechanisms, and actions of novel angiotensins.
  • To highlight the role of angiotensin IV in memory and Alzheimer's disease, and angiotensin (1-7) as a vasodilator.

Main Methods:

  • Review of enzymatic pathways for synthesis and inactivation of angiotensin metabolites.
  • Presentation of physio-pharmacological actions of angiotensin III, IV, and (1-7).

  • Experimental investigation of angiotensin (1-7) and angiotensin II interactions in rat thoracic aorta.

    • Main Results:

    • Angiotensin IV shows functional involvement in cerebral memory and neurodegenerative processes.
    • Angiotensin (1-7) exhibits vasodilating effects, counteracting angiotensin II's vasoconstriction.
    • Experimental data reveal biphasic, dose-dependent effects of angiotensin (1-7) in rat aorta, involving nitric oxide, kinins, and prostaglandins.

    Conclusions:

    • Angiotensin II fragments (III, IV, 1-7) possess distinct physiological roles.
    • Angiotensin (1-7) acts as a counterbalance to angiotensin II, influencing cardiovascular function.
    • Further research into RAS fragments is essential for understanding and treating cardiovascular and neurological disorders.
