The Effects of Aldosterone on Hypertension-Associated Kidney Injury in a Tg-hAS Mouse Model

Biology
Hypertension remains a global health challenge due to its high prevalence and association with premature morbidity and mortality. Aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid hormone, and its receptor, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), are highly implicated in ...

Aldosterone Rapidly Enhances Levels of the Striatin and Caveolin-1 Proteins in Rat Kidney: The Role of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
BackgroundStriatin and caveolin-1 (cav-1) are scaffolding/regulating proteins that are associated with salt-sensitive high blood pressure and promote renal sodium and water reabsorption, respectively.

The associations of adipokines with selected markers of the renin-angiotensinogen-aldosterone system: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis. [PDF]

, 2015
Among obese individuals, increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity results in increased renin and aldosterone production, as well as renal tubular sodium reabsorption.

Beyond right or wrong: How partial credit scoring on multiple‐choice questions improves student performance and assessment perceptions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In this study, we examined the effects of assigning partial credit to selected answer choices on student performance and perceptions in a pharmacology course using Type A multiple‐choice questions (MCQs). Methods Partial credit scoring was incorporated into quizzes and exams in a 10‐week pharmacology course for postbaccalaureate premedical ...

An experimental medicine protocol for exploring the haemodynamic effects of dual agonism at the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 and glucagon receptor in healthy subjects

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) and glucagon dual receptor agonists are in clinical development for a range of metabolic conditions, including type 2 diabetes and obesity. The cardiovascular actions at these receptors are well studied, but less is known about their combination.

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, Glucose Metabolism and Incident Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: MESA. [PDF]

, 2018
Background Mechanistic studies suggest that aldosterone impairs glucose metabolism. We investigated the cross-sectional associations of aldosterone and plasma renin activity with fasting plasma glucose, insulin resistance ( IR ), β-cell function, and ...

Machine learning methods for predicting adverse drug events: A systematic review

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Predicting adverse drug events (ADEs) in outpatient settings is crucial for improving medication safety, identifying high‐risk patients and reducing health‐care costs. While traditional methods struggle with the complexity of health‐care data, machine learning (ML) models offer improved prediction capabilities; however, their effectiveness in ...

Bone: An Acute Buffer of Plasma Sodium during Exhaustive Exercise?

, 2013
Both hyponatremia and osteopenia separately have been well documented in endurance athletes. Although bone has been shown to act as a “sodium reservoir” to buffer severe plasma sodium derangements in animals, recent data have suggested a similar function

Thyroxine-binding globulin: investigation of microheterogeneity [PDF]

, 1981
Preparations of T4-binding globulin (TBG) from human serum was performed using only two affinity chromatography steps. Purity of the protein was demonstrated by a single band in overloaded disc and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, equimolar ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.
