We report here that the neuronal (pro)renin receptor (PRR), a key component of the brain
renin-angiotensin system (RAS), plays a critical role in the central regulation of high-fat-diet (…

Overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) – a central physiological pathway
involved in controlling blood pressure (BP) – leads to hypertension. It is now well-recognized …

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a spectrum of liver damage directly
related to diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) has …

Glucose homeostasis is achieved via complex interactions between the endocrine pancreas
and other peripheral tissues and glucoregulatory neurocircuits in the brain that remain …

High salt (sodium) intake leads to the development of hypertension despite the fact that
plasma sodium concentration ([Na + ]) is usually normal in hypertensive human patients. …
