  • The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has created an international health crisis, and small animal models mirroring SARS-CoV-2 human disease are essential for medical countermeasure (MCM) development. (jci.org)
  • Host and viral determinants for efficient SARS-CoV-2 infection of the human lung. (cdc.gov)
  • Furthermore, using sequence analysis of human genomic DNA, researchers concluded that the amino acids important for catalysis by COX-1 are conserved and are equally important for catalysis by COX-2. (medscape.com)
  • Despite a 50-fold elevation of plasma angiotensin II in anesthetized rats (424 +/- 154 vs. 8.6 +/- 1.0 pg/ml, P less than 0.001) angiotensin receptor density was unchanged (anesthetized, 1,016 +/- 126 vs. unanesthetized, 1,290 +/- 84 fmol/mg). (jci.org)
  • All the components of brain RAS such as enzyme isorenin, ANG, Ang I, converting enzymes, and Ang II are found in the brain [ 5 - 9 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • AAD events are initiated by a circumferential or transverse tear of the intima, followed by rapid leakage of blood into the artery wall, which undergoes thrombosis and rupture of the aorta ( 1 , 2 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • Philips and Felix [ 4 ] proved the presence of Ang II-activated neurons in the brain and subfornical organs [ 4 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • The present study explored whether SGK1 is transcriptionally regulated by angiotensin II and participates in the angiotensin II-dependent regulation of CTGF expression. (amrita.edu)
  • To dissociate the effects of dietary sodium from those of circulating angiotensin II levels on glomerular receptor regulation, a fifth group was placed on high sodium diet and given a continuous infusion of angiotensin via an implanted minipump (100 ng/min) for 21 d. (jci.org)
  • The time course of receptor regulation closely paralleled changes in plasma angiotensin II. (jci.org)
