      Ocaranza, María Paz; Godoy, Iván; Jalil Milad, Jorge; Varas, Manuel; Collantes, Patricia; Pinto, Melissa; Román, Maritza; Ramírez, Cristián; Copaja, Miguel; Díaz Araya, Guillermo; Castro, Pablo; Lavandero González, Sergio (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2006-10)
      The early and long-term effects of coronary artery ligation on the plasma and left ventricular angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE and ACE2) activities, ACE and ACE2 mRNA levels, circulating angiotensin (Ang) levels [Ang ...
    • Increased active phase atrial contraction is related to marathon runner performance 
      Gabrielli, Luigi; Herrera, Sebastián; Contreras Briceño, Felipe; Vega, Julián; Ocaranza, María Paz; Yáñez, Fernando; Fernández, Rodrigo; Saavedra, Rodrigo; Sitges, Marta; García Nannig, Lorena; Chiong Lay, Mario; Lavandero González, Sergio; Castro, Pablo F. (Springer Verlag, 2018)
      © 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. Purpose: Left atrial (LA) contraction is essential for left ventricular (LV) filling during exertion. We sought to evaluate the relationship of LA contraction ...
    • Interacción entre los polimorfismos del receptor ß1 y ß2 adrenérgico como predictor de riesgo de insuficiencia ... 
      Moraga, Francisco; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Mellado, Rose Marie; Díaz Araya, Guillermo; Vukasovic Ramírez, José Luis; Greig, Douglas; Pérez, Osvaldo; García Nannig, Lorena; Roldán, Juan; Ocaranza, María Paz; Jalil Milad, Jorge; Chiong Lay, Mario; Castro, Pablo (SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2008-11)
      Background: beta adrenergic receptors (AR) are highly polymorphic and important regulators of cardiovascular homeostatis. Among these, beta(1) and beta(2) AR regulate cardiac contractility and frequency and are important ...
    • Neutral endopeptidase and angiotensin I converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism in humans 
      Jalil Milad, Jorge; Ocaranza, María Paz; Oliveri, C.; Córdova, S.; Godoy, I.; Chamorro, G.; Braun, S.; Fardella, Carlos E.; Michel, J. B.; Lavandero González, Sergio (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2004-02)
      Neutral endopeptidase (NEP) hydrolyses angiotensins (Ang) I and II and generates angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(17)]. In humans, the insertion/deletion (I/D) angiotensin- I converting enzyme ( ACE) gene polymorphism determined ...
    • Novel players in cardioprotection: Insulin like growth factor-1, angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9) 
      Westermeier, Francisco; Bustamante, Mario; Pavez, Mario; García Nannig, Lorena; Chiong Lay, Mario; Ocaranza, María Paz; Lavandero González, Sergio (Elsevier, 2015)
      Insulin-like growth factor-1, angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9) have been proposed to be important mediators in cardioprotection. A large body of evidence indicates that insulin like growth factor-1 has pleotropic ...

      Ocaranza, María Paz; Michea Acevedo, Luis; Chiong Lay, Mario; Lagos, Carlos F.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Jalil Milad, Jorge (Portland Press Ltd, 2014)
      Chronic RAS (renin-angiotensin system) activation by both AngII (angiotensin II) and aldosterone leads to hypertension and perpetuates a cascade of pro-hypertrophic, pro-inflammatory, pro-thrombotic and atherogenic effects ...
