Rapid severe hypertension and organ damage in two‐kidney two‐clip rats produced by different sizes of clips

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Blood pressure increases immediately when the 2K2C rats (made with 0.3, 0.25, and 0.2 mm U‐shaped clips) regain consciousness from anesthesia. 100% of the rats develop hypertension on the day of 2K2C surgery. Blood pressure continues to rise, resulting in severe hypertension and organ damage to the brain, heart, aorta, and kidneys at 1, 2, 4, and 6 ...

Aldosterone upregulates transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) [PDF]

, 2016
Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is a ubiquitously expressed Mg2+-permeable ion channel fused to a C-terminal α-kinase domain. Recently, aldosterone was shown to increase intracellular Mg2+ levels and alter inflammatory signaling in ...

SOX6 enhances vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching and elevates blood pressure by activating autophagy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Sox6 expression is elevated in hypertensive conditions and promotes vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching through autophagy activation. Using gain‐ and loss‐of‐function approaches both in vitro and in vivo, we demonstrate that Sox6 regulates blood pressure and vascular remodeling, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target for ...

Aldosterone signaling through transient receptor potential melastatin 7 cation channel (TRPM7) and its α-kinase domain [PDF]

, 2013
We demonstrated a role for the Mg2 + transporter TRPM7, a bifunctional protein with channel and α-kinase domains, in aldosterone signaling. Molecular mechanisms underlying this are elusive.

Role of ACTH and Other Hormones in the Regulation of Aldosterone Production in Primary Aldosteronism

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2016
The major physiological regulators of aldosterone production from the adrenal zona glomerulosa are potassium and angiotensin II; other acute regulators include adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and serotonin.

Changes of aldosterone levels in patients with type 2 diabetes complicated by moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome before and after treatment with continuous positive airway pressure

Journal of International Medical Research, 2019
Objective Both obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are closely related to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

SIRT1 Alleviates Aldosterone-Induced Podocyte Injury by Suppressing Mitochondrial Dysfunction and NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation

Kidney Diseases, 2021
Background: Podocyte injury contributes to progressive glomerulosclerosis. Previously, we demonstrated the important role of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in mediating the podocyte injury induced by aldosterone.

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 ...

Hypokalemia and Pendrin Induction by Aldosterone

HYPERTENSION, 2017
Aldosterone plays an important role in regulating Na-Cl reabsorption and blood pressure. Epithelial Na+ channel, Na+-Cl− cotransporter, and Cl−/HCO3− exchanger pendrin are the major mediators of Na-Cl transport in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron.
