The renin-angiotensin system and the gastrointestinal mucosa

Acta Physiologica
L Fändriks

Abstract

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is fundamental for the intake of fluid and electrolytes and accommodates a large proportion of bodily hemodynamics and host defence systems. Despite that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a prominent regulatory system for fluid and electrolyte homeostasis its impact on GI physiology is only little explored. Recent data indicate that RAS is well expressed and active in the GI tract although exact physiological roles are to be settled. There are several reports showing influences by RAS and its key mediator angiotensin II (AngII) on intestinal epithelial fluid and electrolyte transport and data are accumulating, suggesting involvement in GI mucosal inflammation and carcinogenesis. Of particular interest is the increasing amount of experimental support for the involvement of AngII formation and actions via the AngII subtype 1 (AT1) receptor in the pathogenesis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The picture of RAS in the GI tract is, however, far from complete. Because RAS is an important application area for reno-cardiovascular diseases, a number of pharmacological agents as well as research technologies already exist and can in the future be used for GI research. A marked expansion of...Continue Reading
