How can you use “angiotensin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Recent studies have proposed that myocyte loss incardiomyopathy can occur by apoptosis without an inflammatory response [reviewedin [ 1 2 3 ] ]. In heart failure,growth stimulation initially occurs as a compensatory effort tomeet chronically altered hemodynamic demands and is mediated by systemicand/or local up-regulation of mediators of adrenergic pathways andby various cytokines [ 4 5 ] . However, cytokinescan be directly toxic to cardiac myocytes and result in increasedapoptotic cell death [ 3 6 ] . Local up-regulationof angiotensin II induces immediate-early genes, which may leadto increased protein synthesis and myocardial hypertrophy or, alternatively,may up-regulate expression of apoptotic proteins (such as p53) incardiac myocytes.

  • ERK activation by angiotensin II and 5-HT occurs at relatively lower agonist concentrations and within five minutes of stimulation (19,23).

  • Recently, it has been noted that the JNK and p38 pathways can be activated by G-protein coupled receptor agonists, notably angiotensin II, in vascular smooth muscle cells [ 19 20 ] . In cardiac myocytes, both the p38 and JNK pathways have been activated by endothelin-1 (ET-1) and the α 1 adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine [ 21 ] . The ability of the JNK and p38 pathways to be activated by the same agonists of G-protein coupled receptors which activate the ERK pathway led to the investigation of 5-HT as a possible activator of the JNK and p38 pathways.

  • Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors were the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive agents (48%) followed by calcium antagonists (22%), diuretics (16%), beta blockers (13%), and other agents (1%).
