This article shows the activity of angiotensin II with respect to NHE exchangers. It is known that the macula densa (MD) apical exchanger is the NHE2 isoform and the basolateral one is the NH4 isoform.

This article demonstrates that the extraglomerular mesangial cells are important in the communication between the macula densa (MD) and the afferent arteriole. The integrity of the extraglomerular mesangial

This article shows that the sequence for the release of ATP from the macula densa (MD) cells is probably as follow: Increased GFR causes an increase in the sodium chloride concentration reaching the macula

This article states that the AT1 receptor mediates vasoconstriction in the afferent and efferent arterioles. This is done by signaling using Gq/11-protein and protein kinase C activation. Angiotensin II

This article showed that the AT1 receptor mediates the production of nitric oxide at the level of the afferent arteriole. This other article shows that angiotensin II, through the AT1 receptor in endothelial

This article from the year 2000 shows the effects of angiotensin II in the afferent (AA)and efferent arterioles (EA) in the kidney. As we know, the AT1 receptor is present in the AA and the EA. In the

Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction by acting on vascular smooth muscle, causes secretion of vasopressin by actin in the CNS and causes aldosterone secretion by acting on the adrenal glands. #health
