ANG and Arthritis: Taken together with studies showing that (iii) Ang-(1-7) has well documented anti-inflammatory effects and induces polarization of macrophages away from activating phenotypes (49), our studies show that Ang-(1-7) has clear pro-resolving activities and endorse future research efforts aiming at the development of novel Ang-(1-7)-based pharmacological strategies to control, prevent, and even treat arthritis.
