Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS).pptxAvinashGunjal5
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a critical regulator of blood volume, electrolyte balance, and systemic vascular resistance. While the baroreceptor reflex responds short term to decreased arterial pressure, the RAAS is responsible for acute and chronic alterations. The classical understanding of RAAS is that it comprises three significant compounds: renin, angiotensin II, and aldosterone. These three compounds elevate arterial pressure in response to decreased renal blood pressure, salt delivery to the distal convoluted tubule, and beta-agonism.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Renin-Angiotensin system (RAS)
Trigger stimuli like sympathetic overactivity, renal ischaemia, depressed Na+
concentration, fluid depletion, decreased K+ intake, granules get
stimulated→ release of renin.
Renin, a proteolytic enzyme produced and stored in granules of
Juxtaglomerular cells surrounding the afferent arterioles of the
glomerulus.
Released renin then transported to the liver via blood circulation which
converts angiotensionogen, plasma α2 globulin (synthesized in liver)
into angiotensin I (Ang I, an inactive decapeptide).
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) converts Ang I into angiotensin II
(Ang II, an active octapeptide having vasoconstrictor action).
Vasoconstrictor Ang II induces peripheral arteriolar constriction, stimulates
adrenal cortex, leads to the release of aldosterone → reabsorption of
sodium (Na+) and water (H2O), increases the blood pressure (B.P.) and
thereby develops hypertension.
3
5. a) Circulating renin-angiotensin system
Normally, the amount of renin in plasma acts as the limiting factor for Ang II
generation.
The plasma t½ of renin is 15 min.
The biological potency of Ang I is only 1/100 that of Ang II, but it is rapidly
converted into the Ang II by ACE which is a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase,
an ectoenzyme located primarily on the luminal surface of vascular
endothelial cells (especially in lungs).
Circulating Ang II also has a very short t½ (1 min).
The first degradation product produced by the action of an aminopeptidase is
the heptapeptide termed Angiotensin-III (Ang III). It is 2–10 times less
potent than Ang II, except in stimulating aldosterone secretion, in which
it is equipotent.
Ang III is again attacked by another aminopeptidase, and the resulting
hexapeptide (3-8) is called Ang IV which has very different central (and
some peripheral) actions elicited through a specific AT4 receptor.
Both Ang III and Ang IV are broken into inactive fragments by nonspecific
peptidases termed angiotensinases.
5
6. b) Tissue (local) renin-angiotensin systems
Extrinsic local RAS
Apart from Ang II generated in circulation as described above, blood vessels
capture circulating angiotensinogen and renin to produce Ang II at the
surface of their wall.
This Ang II diffuses to act locally on the angiotensin receptors producing
localized responses.
Intrinsic local RAS
Many tissues, especially heart, blood vessels, brain, kidneys, adrenals possess
the capacity to synthesize all components of RAS within their cells.
They generate Ang II and III intracellularly as per physiological need and
pathological status.
These signal molecules are involved in regulating organ function, cell growth
(hypertrophy), cell death (apoptosis), remodeling and fibrosis.
The local RAS operate in several organs in addition to the liver and kidney is
depends on circulating RAS.
6
7. c) Alternative (ACE-independent) pathway
In addition to the primary pathway described above, small quantities of Ang I
and Ang II can be produced from angiotensinogen by the action of other
proteases like cathepsin.
Moreover, chymase can convert (although at a much slower rate) Ang I to
Ang II, particularly in heart and kidney.
7
8. Other angiotensin peptides
In addition to Ang II and Ang III some other biologically active angiotensin
peptides are produced in small quantities whose physio-pathological role
is not well understood.
Angiotensin IV (Ang IV)
A hexapeptide (Ang 3-8) produced by removal of arginine from amino
terminal of Ang III by an aminopeptidase.
Inhibits an insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) which is considered to be
Ang IV specific receptor and is labeled AT4 receptor.
Binding of Ang IV to IRAP prevents degradation of neuropeptides involved in
cognitive function and memory in animal→ Ang IV improves memory.
Also have some vascular, renal and other peripheral effects.
Angiotensin (1-7)
A heptapeptide produced from Ang I or Ang II by the action of another
carboxy-peptidase, ACE 2.
In animals, Ang (1-7) produces effects opposite to those of Ang II, including
NO dependent vasodilatation, antithrombotic, anti-ischaemic and
antiproliferative effects by binding to a protooncogene receptor. 8
9. Angiotensin receptors and transducer mechanisms
Specific Ang II receptors are expressed on the surface of target cells.
Two subtypes (AT1 and AT2) have been differentiated, both are GPCRs.
All major effects of Ang II are mediated by AT1 receptor.
Ang III also activates AT1 and AT2 receptors, but is a much weaker agonist at
most sites, except on adrenal cortex causing aldosterone release.
The AT2 receptor is abundantly expressed in foetal tissues. In adults, it has
been demonstrated in vascular endothelium, adrenal medulla, kidney
and some brain areas.
The functional role of AT2 receptor is not well delineated, but is generally
opposite to that of AT1 receptor. Activation of AT2 receptor causes →
NO-dependent vasodilatation, promotes apoptosis, myocardial fibrosis,
inhibits cell proliferation and may lower BP.
Other angiotensin peptides like Ang IV and Ang (1-7) act on their own (AT4
and Mas respectively) receptors.
9
10. The AT1 GPCR utilizes different transducer mechanisms in different tissues.
a) Phospholipase C–IP3/DAG– intracellular Ca2+ release mechanism
The AT1 GPCR coupling with Gq protein causes→
Contraction of vascular and visceral smooth muscle due to activation of
myosin light chain kinase (MLCK).
Activation of membrane Ca2+ channels.
Aldosterone synthesis/release, cardiac inotropy, depolarization of
adrenal medullary/autonomic ganglionic cell resulting in CA release/
sympathetic discharge → due to enhanced Ca2+ movement.
DAG mediated activation of protein kinase C (PKC)→ phosphorylation of
several intracellular proteins, induction of the above responses and
promotion of cell growth.
b) Adenylyl cyclase/cAMP pathway
The AT1 GPCR coupling to Gi protein causes-
Inhibition of adenylyl cyclase In liver and kidney.
Phospholipase A2 activation and PG/LT production due to intrarenal
homeostatic action.
10
11. In many tissues, especially myocardium, vascular smooth muscle and
fibroblasts, AT1 receptor also mediates long-term effects of Ang II on cell
growth.
Ang II activates MAP kinase, TAK2 tyrosine protein kinase, PKC and utilizes the
JAK-STAT pathway which together enhance expression of proto-
oncogenes, transcription factors and growth factors→ promoted cell
growth and synthesis of more intercellular matrix.
11
12. Actions of angiotensins
1. Cardiovascular system (CVS)
Ang II induces vasoconstriction → directly or by enhancing Adr/NA release
from adrenal medulla/adrenergic nerve endings thereby increasing
central sympathetic outflow.
Ang II inhibits reuptake of NA thereby augments responsiveness of vascular
smooth muscle to NA.
Intense vasoconstriction of arterioles, venules and all vascular beds, less
marked in cerebral, skeletal muscle, pulmonary and coronary vessels.
Ang II induced vasoconstriction promotes movement of fluid from vascular to
extravascular compartment.
Ang II injected i.v. is much more potent than NA as a pressor agent. No
tachyphylaxis is seen in the pressor action of Ang II; rather long-term
infusion of low concentration of Ang II produces progressive and
sustained rise in BP by its renal effects promoting salt and water
reabsorption, as well as by enhancing endothelin generation.
12
13. Ang II increases force of myocardial contraction by promoting Ca2+ influx.
Though, it can increase heart rate by enhancing sympathetic activity, reflex
bradycardia predominates in the intact animal.
Cardiac output is often reduced and cardiac work is increased (due to rise in
peripheral resistance).
In contrast to NA, Ang II does not activate latent pacemakers. As such, it has
little arrhythmogenic propensity.
Acting on a chronic basis, Ang II induces hypertrophy, hyperplasia and
increased intercellular matrix production in the myocardium and
vascular smooth muscle by direct cellular effects involving expression of
proto-oncogenes and transcription of several growth factors.
Ang II induced volume overload and increased t.p.r. Indirectly contributes to
the hypertrophy and remodeling (abnormal redistribution of muscle
mass) in heart and blood vessels. 13
14. 2. Smooth muscles
Ang II contracts many visceral smooth muscles in vitro, but in vivo effects are
insignificant.
3. Adrenal cortex
Ang II and Ang III are trophic to the zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex →
enhance synthesis and release of aldosterone which acts on distal tubule
in kidney to promote Na+ reabsorption and K+/H+ excretion. These effects
are exerted at concentrations lower than those required to cause
vasoconstriction.
4. Kidney
In addition to exerting indirect effect on kidney through aldosterone, Ang II
promotes Na+/H+ exchange in proximal tubule → increased Na+, Cl¯ and
HCO3¯ reabsorption.
Ang II reduces renal blood flow and GFR, and produces intrarenal
haemodynamic effects which normally result in Na+ and water retention.
14
15. 5. CNS
Systemically administered Ang II can gain access to certain periventricular
areas of the brain to induce drinking behaviour and ADH release → both
of which would be conducive to plasma volume expansion.
Ang II also increases central sympathetic outflow, which contributes to the
pressor response.
Brain has its own tissue RAS and generates Ang II locally as well.
6. Peripheral sympathetic structures
Ang II enhances sympathetic activity by peripheral action as well.
It releases Adr from adrenal medulla, stimulates autonomic ganglia and
increases the output of NA from adrenergic nerve endings.
15
16. Pathophysiological roles of angiotensins
1. Mineralocorticoid secretion
Ang II (also Ang III) is the physiological stimulus for aldosterone secretion
from adrenal cortex.
Ang II also exerts trophic influence on the zonal glomerulosa cells of adrenal
cortex→ enhance synthesis and release of aldosterone which acts on
distal tubule in kidney to promote Na+ reabsorption and K+/H+ excretion.
2. Electrolyte, blood volume and pressure homeostasis
The RAS plays an important role in maintaining electrolyte composition and
volume of extracellular fluid.
Changes that lower blood volume or blood pressure, or decrease Na+ content
induce renin release and further events occur to restore falling blood
volume and pressure (homeostasis).
16
17. 3. Development of hypertension
The RAS is directly involved in renovascular hypertension→ plasma renin
activity (PRA) is raised in most patients.
In essential hypertension also it appears to have a permissive role, though
PRA may be either raised or low. A positive correlation between
circulating angiotensinogen levels and essential hypertension has also
been found.
Several evidences point to causation of pregnancy-induced hypertension
(preeclampsia) by production of autoantibodies which activate AT1
receptor.
The role of Ang II in hypertrophy/remodeling of heart and blood vessels is
now well recognized.
4. Secondary hyperaldosteronism
The RAS is involved in the development of secondary hyperaldosteronism.
5. CNS
Ang II can be formed locally in the brain and may function as transmitter or
modulator. Regulation of thirst, hormone release and sympathetic
outflow may be the responses mediated.
Use Ang II is not available commercially, and not used clinically. 17
18. Inhibition of renin-angiotensin system
This can be achieved by:
1. Sympathetic blockers (Beta- blockers, adrenergic neurone blockers, central
sympatholytics) → decrease renin release.
2. Direct renin inhibitors (DRIs) block renin action→ interfere with generation
of Ang I from angiotensinogen (rate limiting step).
3. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors→ prevent generation of
the active principle Ang II.
4. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)→ antagonize the action of Ang II on
target cells.
5. Aldosterone antagonists→ block mineralocorticoid receptors.
18
