Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Robson A S Santos"
- Robson A S Santos' recent research primarily focuses on the therapeutic potential of angiotensin-(1-7) and other components of the renin-angiotensin system in managing respiratory infections and related inflammatory conditions, especially in the context of COVID-19 and betacoronavirus infections.
- The findings indicate that angiotensin-(1-7) not only reduces lung inflammation and viral load in animal models infected with SARS-CoV-2 but also demonstrates benefits as an adjunctive treatment in clinical settings, including intensive care environments.
- Additionally, the research explores the metabolic implications of ACE2 and its interactions with other biological systems, revealing insights into obesity resistance and anti-inflammatory mechanisms mediated through various receptors, contributing to the broader understanding of RAS in health and disease.
