Vascular Actions of Ang II

• Increase in superoxide anion production;• Smooth muscle proliferation;• Decrease in EDRF• Increase monocyte adherence to endothelium• Inhibition of plasminogen activation;• Lipoxygenase production by macrophages;• increase oxidase LDL;• Increase activity of NADH/NADPH oxidase.

SUMMARYSUMMARYHyperlipidemia alters hematopoiesis, generating activated monocytic phenotypes

The bone marrow RAS is activated by hyperlipidemia

One result of bone marrow RAS activation by hyperlipidemia is the generation of activated monocytes that participate in atherogenesis

The bone marrow RAS may be a target for diminishing end-organ pathology where inflammation is an early initiator
