“…Ang-(1-7) is a vasodilator, in part due to its recently demonstrated capability of activating the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (40) and also because of its proven ability to potentiate the action of bradykinin (26). Gestational diabetes is associated with decreased levels of Ang-(1-7), which coincides with endothelial dysfunction during pregnancy (35). This agrees with the beneficial effects (vasodilation, improvement of glucose, and lipid metabolism) exerted by Ang- (1-7).…”

“…Ang-(1-7) has been associated to the physiopathology of several diseases such as hypertension, preeclampsia, hypertrophic myocardial disease and CHF, MI, chronic renal diseases, diabetic nephropathy, GDM and cirrhosis (62,63). Further studies should try to better elucidate the role of Ang- (1-7), as opposed to Ang II, in diabetes.…”

“…Our data suggest that a possible therapeutic approach for advanced human cirrhosis could be the combination of AT1 receptor blockers or ACE inhibitors Ratios between angiotensins, especially the relationship between Ang-(1-7) and Ang Ⅱ, have been used to estimate the final functional RAS effect [2,3,4] . In this study, propranolol use was not able to change the ratio between Ang-(1-7) and Ang Ⅱ in splanchnic and peripheral circulation of non-compensated cirrhotic patients, although there was an absolute decrease in both angiotensins.…”

“…The ACE2-Ang-(1-7)-Mas arm mainly acts as a counter-regulatory mechanism for the vasoconstrictor arm [1] . According to this novel concept, the final functional effect of the RAS may reflect a balance between these two arms [2][3][4][5] . This novel view of the RAS makes the evaluation of this system in cirrhosis particularly challenging.…”
