Article Abstract
Age-related declines in physical and cognitive function can have tremendous, negative impacts on health span and quality of life. Therefore, we investigated the potential of utilizing a probiotic treatment to target the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in conjunction with moderate exercise to ameliorate age-related declines in cognitive and physical function in aged rats. Herein we utilized a genetically modified angiotensin (1-7), which activates a "complementary" arm of the RAS through binding Mas (AT7) receptors. This process induces several beneficial physiologic effects, including decreased inflammation and enhanced physical/cognitive function. Thus, in this short research report, we suggest the efficacy of this Ang(1-7) releasing Lactobacillus paracasei (LPA) as either an alternative strategy to exercise, or more likely as an adjuvant to moderate exercise, for the prevention of both physical and cognitive decline especially in female rats.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects almost 10% of the global population and is a significant health issue. The presence of CKD increases the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, overall mortality, and progression of renal damage leading to kidney failure. Inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) through angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blockers reduces proteinuria and slows eGFR decline in CKD patients.

Background: Beyond the well-established classical renin-angiotensin system (RAS), emerging evidence highlights the critical role of the non-classical RAS, specifically the Angiotensin (1-7)/ACE2/Mas axis. As the key enzyme converting Angiotensin II into Angiotensin (1-7), angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) exerts cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, showing potential therapeutic value in critical care. This study investigates the association between circulating ACE2 levels and clinical outcomes in sepsis, offering insights into its role and potential for predicting sepsis outcomes.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a pivotal role in regulating cardiovascular function, fluid balance, and blood pressure. Recent research has revealed the RAAS's influence extends beyond cardiovascular physiology, encompassing key roles in inflammation, fibrosis, immune regulation, cancer progression, and organ-specific disease mechanisms. This review provides a comprehensive overview of classical and alternative RAAS pathways, focusing on the dual roles of angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang 1-7), mediated through AT1R, AT2R, MasR, and MrgD receptors.

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has evolved from being considered solely a peripheral endocrine system for cardiovascular control to being recognized as a complex molecular network with important functions in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). Here we examine the organization, mechanisms of action, and clinical implications of cerebral RAS in physiological conditions and in various neurological pathologies. The cerebral RAS operates autonomously, synthesizing its main components locally due to restrictions imposed by the blood-brain barrier.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) can highly influence the patient's outcomes. The involvement of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and Angiotensin II (Ang-II) in inducing renal injury after stroke has been reported in different studies. This study evaluated, TBI's impact on kidney function/structure and the therapeutic potential of Angiotensin-1-7 (Ang-1-7).
