Diabetic Nephropathy Induced by Increased Ace Gene Dosage Is Associated with High Renal Levels of Angiotensin (1–7) and Bradykinin by Nádia Bertoncello, Roseli Peres Moreira, Danielle Yuri Arita, Danielle S. Aragão, Ingrid Kazue Mizuno Watanabe, Patricia S. Dantas, Ralmony Santos, Rodolfo Mattar-Rosa, Rodrigo Yokota, Tatiana Sousa Cunha, Dulce Elena Casarini

“…The susceptibility to the development of DN in 3 copies of animals is associated with an imbalance in activity of RAS enzymes leading to increased synthesis of Ang II and Ang-(1–7). Increased concentration of renal Ang-(1–7) appears to potentiate the deleterious effects triggered by Ang II on kidney structure and function. …”
