We compared physiological activity of synthetic analogues of endogenous protein-peptide compounds, complexes of angiotensin II(1-7)with functionally different proteins (transport protein, serum albumin; and neurospecific Ca(2+)-binding protein, S100b). Physiological activity of angiotensin II(1-7)was shown to depend on the type of a carrier protein. Our results suggest that complexes of angiotensins with BSA and S100b are strong factors for the integration of central and peripheral functions at the homeostatic and behavioral level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
