ACE-inhibitor induced angioedema masked by nephrotic syndrome

Southwest Respiratory and Critical Care Chronicles, 2016
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are the leading cause of drug-induced angioedema in the United States because these drugs are widely prescribed for several common medical disorders. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors cause angioedema

Zebrafish and CRISPR—A synergistic approach to decipher and cure human diseases

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Zebrafish, with high genetic homology to humans, serves as a powerful vertebrate model for disease modeling and drug discovery. Integration of CRISPR/Cas9 technology enables precise genome editing, facilitating the development of translational models for human diseases.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...

Neutrophil hypersegmentation in children receiving angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2008
Captopril and enalapril are the most commonly used angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in several cardiac diseases in children. On the other hand, the intrinsic renin-angiotensin system in the bone marrow might affect the growth of ...

Effects of the Angiotensin‐Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor on Cardiac Reverse Remodeling: Meta‐Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background The angiotensin‐receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan was shown to be superior to the angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril in terms of reducing cardiovascular mortality in the PARADIGM‐HF (Prospective ...

Animal models of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: Recent advances and future perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the evolution of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) animal models from traditional approaches (Heymann nephritis, C‐BSA, APA) to antigen‐specific models (PLA2R, THSD7A), critically evaluating their advances and limitations in replicating human IMN pathology.

New Approaches to Blockade of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System: Evidence From Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin II–Receptor Blockers — Questions Remain Unsolved

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Recent randomized controlled trials showed that blockade of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II–receptor blockers (ARBs) reduced cardiovascular and renal events.

Efficacy of enalapril in the treatment of migraine prophylaxis – A clinical study

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2020
Background: Migraine is the most common problem in the world and few angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have previously been shown to be effective in migraine prophylaxis.

Chrysin alleviates pressure overload–induced myocardial remodeling through regulating the PI3K/AKT/NRF2 pathway–mediated oxidative stress response

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we primarily simulated pathological myocardial remodeling induced by transverse aortic constriction surgery and found significant cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, characterized by deteriorated cardiac function. Oxidative stress response is considered as a pivotal pathological process, which contributes to inflammation and apoptosis of ...
