The models included deletion of the angiotensinogen (Agt) gene (Agt-KO), its expression solely in adipose tissue under the control of an adipocyte-specific promoter (aP2-Agt/ Agt-KO), and ...

Adipose, or fat tissue, is the largest endocrine organ in humans and in other cases, can be the largest organ in an obese individual. Adipose tissue plays a pivotal role in age-related metabolic ...

Whereas angiotensinogen and PAI-1 are involved in events associated with excess fat ... 20 However, even if visceral adipocytes express microbe-sensing receptors, it is still unknown if and which ...

In practice we do not see this theoretical change in weight with changes in food intake because there is adaptation. As food intake increases above requirements there is adaptation, and the rate of ...

Obesity is a key factor in cardiovascular disease, prompting the ESC to recommend comprehensive strategies for prevention and ...

Patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and persistent albuminuria (PA) exhibited significantly higher levels of urinary angiotensinogen ... connective tissue disease such as systemic lupus ...

The production of plasma angiotensin II is very sensitive to small changes in angiotensinogen concentration (through the action of renin). Circulating and tissue angiotensinogen levels correlate ...

Connective tissue connects, supports, binds, and separates organs and tissues, forming a framework to support body tissues and organs. It plays a role in immune function, transporting nutrients and ...

Obesity increases fluid retention and blood volume, particularly in adipose tissue, resulting in increased ...

Tissue can be thought of as a group of cells working together. A collection of tissues working together to perform a specific function is called an organ. When you add your name and decision to the ...
