Telmisartán y losartán: las marcadas diferencias entre sus propiedades químicas y farmacológicas pueden explicar la diferencia en la eficacia terapéutica en pacientes hospitalizados con covid-19
Telmisartan and losartan: marked differences in chemical and pharmacological properties may explain differences in therapeutic efficacy in hospitalized patients with COVID-19

Rev. Asoc. Méd. Argent; 136 (1), 2023
El objetivo de este artículo es comparar las propiedades químicas y farmacológicas del telmisartán y el losartán, y su metabolito activo EXP3174, con el fin de entender por qué el telmisartán es efectivo en pacientes hospitalizados con Covid-19 mientras que el losartán no lo es. Se llevó a cabo ...

Endothelial expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products in experimental diabetes

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic diseases including diabetes. The interaction between RAGE and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) promotes gene expression, enhances the release of proinflammatory molecules and causes the gene...

Improved histoarchitectural changes with angiotensin receptor blockers in early testicular and cauda toxicity in rats

Int. j. morphol; 37 (2), 2019
SUMMARY: Reproductive dysfunction is a complication for many diseases and toxins. Its early diagnosis and treatment are immensely important. Here the morphological histoarchitecture changes in early testicular and cauda toxicity before and after treatment with angiotensin receptor blockers were evaluated...

Diuretics are Similar to Losartan on Echocardiographic Target-Organ Damage in Stage I Hypertension. PREVER-Treatment Study

Arq. bras. cardiol; 112 (1), 2019
Abstract Blood pressure (BP)-lowering therapy improves left ventricular (LV) parameters of hypertensive target-organ damage in stage II hypertension, but whether there is a drug-class difference in echocardiographic parameters in stage I hypertension patients is less often studied. In the PREVER treatmen...

Losartan improves alveolar bone dynamics in normotensive rats but not in hypertensive rats

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Hypertension is one of the main causes of premature death in the world; also, it is associated with several bone alterations. Preclinical studies have demonstrated delayed alveolar bone healing in hypertensive rats. However, losartan has been favorable for consolidation of bone grafts and reduct...

Comparison of the efficacy of losartan, hydrocortisone and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in preventing the development of fibrous scar tissue in skeletal muscle

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 24 (6), 2018
OBJECTIVE: To analyze fibrous scar tissue inhibition capacity with the use of losartan, hydrocortisone and acetylsalicylic acid. METHOD: The sample consisted of 120 male heterogeneic Wistar rats with a muscle laceration model. The rats were divided into four groups of 30 animals each: control group, losa...

Participation of hepatic α/β-adrenoceptors and AT1 receptors in glucose release and portal hypertensive response induced by adrenaline or angiotensin II

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (12), 2018
It has been previously demonstrated that the hemodynamic effect induced by angiotensin II (AII) in the liver was completely abolished by losartan while glucose release was partially affected by losartan. Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) and adrenergic (∝1- and β-) receptors (AR) belong to the G-pro...

Influence of antihypertensive drugs on aortic and coronary effects of Ang-(1-7) in pressure-overloaded rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (4), 2017
This study investigated the influence of antihypertensive drugs, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs), voltage-gated L-type calcium channel blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), on the effects of angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] on aor...

Avaliação dos eixos ECA / ANG II / AT1 e ECA-2 / ANG (1-7) / MAS em fibroblastos de gengiva e ligamento periodontal humanos estimulados por IL-1β e sua contribuição na produção e regulação de citocinas e quimiocinas

O Sistema renina-angiotensina (SRA) tem sido relatado como um importante modulador de processos inflamatórios e imunológicos, incluindo a doença periodontal (DP). Estudos sugerem neste sistema um eixo alternativo (ECA-2 /ANG(1-7) /MAS) que atuaria como um contra-regulador de efeitos mediados pelo clá...

Renin-angiotensin system blockers regulate the metabolism of isolated fat cells in vitro

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (8), 2016
Due to the presence of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in tissues and its specific influence on white adipose tissue, fat cells are possible targets of pharmacological RAS blockers commonly used as anti-hypertensive drugs. In the present study, we investigated the effects of different RAS blockers on ...
