Effects of renin-angiotensin system blockade on renal angiotensin-(1-7) forming enzymes and receptors  Carlos M. Ferrario, Jewell Jessup, Patricia E. Gallagher, David B. Averill, K. Bridget Brosnihan, E. Ann Tallant, Ronald D. Smith, Mark C.

2 Figure 1 Group averages of tail-cuff systolic blood pressure determinations in conscious Lewis normotensive rats before and after the completion of 2 weeks of oral administration of vehicle, lisinopril, losartan, or both drugs in combination. Values are means ± SE. *P < 0.05 compared to their respective value before initiation of the medications. P value within graph denotes statistical difference between rats medicated with losartan or combination therapy.

3 Figure 2 Effects of the various treatments on urinary excretion rates of angiotensin I (Ang I), angiotensin II (Ang II), and angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)]. B is baseline. Values are means ± SE. *P < 0.05 compared to the corresponding baseline values; **P < 0.05 compared to animals medicated with lisinopril.

4 Figure 3 Effects of the various treatments on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)2 activity measures determined as the rate of angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] formation from angiotensin II (Ang II) in renal membranes isolated from the kidney cortex. Values are means ± SE. *P < 0.05 compared to the vehicle group. Kidney International  , DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 2005 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
