The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, glucose metabolism and diabetes

Abstract

In diabetes mellitus (DM), the circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is suppressed, but the renal tissue RAS is activated. Hyperglycemia increases tissue angiotensin II (Ang II), which induces oxidative stress, endothelial damage and disease pathology including vasoconstriction, thrombosis, inflammation and vascular remodeling. In early DM, the type 1 Ang II (AT(1)) receptor is upregulated but the type 2 Ang II (AT(2)) receptor is downregulated. This imbalance can predispose the individual to tissue damage. Hyperglycemia also increases the production of aldosterone, which has an unknown contribution to tissue damage. The insulin resistance state is associated with upregulation of the AT(1) receptor and an increase in oxygen free radicals in endothelial tissue caused by activation of NAD(P)H oxidase. Treatment with an AT(1) receptor blocker normalizes oxidase activity and improves endothelial function. An understanding of the tissue renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which is a crucial factor in the progression of tissue damage in DM, is imperative for protection against tissue damage in this chronic disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
