Losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, fails to attenuate pulmonary dysfunction in ovine burn and smoke model
Elevated levels of angiotensin II (AngII) in the lung have been shown in response to burn and smoke inhalation injury. AngII has been associated with increased nitric oxide levels, leading to nuclear oxidative damage in Type II lung epithelial cells. Losartan is an AngII, AT1A specific receptor …

Combination Treatment of Angiotensin-II Receptor Blocker and Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme Inhibitor in Non-Diabetic Renal Disease on Effect of Reducing Proteinuria
BACKGROUND: The fact that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors(ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blockers(ARB) antagonize the renin-angiotensin system at different levels suggests that these agents, already confirmed by clinical benefit in retarding the progression of chronic renal disease, may …

Renin-angiotensin system in intestinal inflammation : experimental studies with therapeutic interventions
… in intestine. Local intestinal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and glucocorticoid synthesis are recently uncovered complex mechanisms participating in the pathophysiology of intestinal diseases. These systems can offer new therapy options, either by repurposing well-known drugs like …
