Are the renin-angiotensin pathway in posttraumatic stress disorder : angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers associated with fewer traumatic stress symptoms?
These data provide the first clinical evidence supporting a role for the renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of stress response in patients diagnosed with PTSD. Further studies should examine whether available medications targeting this pathway should be considered for future treatment and potential protection against PTSD symptoms.
Our data suggest that IL-17 is crucially involved in the pathogenesis of murine VMC, IL-17 inhibition might ameliorate the myocardium inflammation after the onset of VMC.
