...) (2021) 135 :1353–1367) generated a transgenic mouse model overexpressing full-length rat angiotensinogen in astrocytes, and observed massively elevated brain Ang II levels, increased sympathetic nervous activity and vasopressin, and up-regulated erythropoiesis. Yet, blood pressure and kidney function...

... cerebral microvessel endothelial cells appeared morphologically intact in both septic and sham pigs. Sepsis also resulted in neuronal injury, disruption of astrocytic end-feet and swollen, rounded erythrocytes. These morphological changes may be sufficient to underlie the clinical features seen in septic...
