Young women exhibit lower rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than age-matched men, a protective effect often attributed to estrogen's influence on cardiac and mitochondrial function. The risk CVD increases in post-menopausal women, likely due estrogen deficiency aldosterone's negative effects, including those mitochondria other cellular targets. This study aimed explore the link between dysfunction health. We hypothesized that estrogen-deprived conditions, aldosterone could stimulate...
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is composed of a series peptides, receptors, and enzymes that play pivotal role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. Among the most important players this are angiotensin-II angiotensin-(1-7) peptides. Our group has recently demonstrated alamandine (ALA), peptide with structural functional similarities to angiotensin-(1-7), interacts cardiomyocytes, enhancing contractility via Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor member D (MrgD). It currently...
