Clinical Experience With Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
This series of studies was designed to assess in normal volunteers the relationships between various doses (5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 120 mg) of the orally active angiotensin II antagonist losartan (DuP 753, MK-954) and their inhibitory effect on the pressure response to a given bolus of angiotensin I or II. It was found that the maximal inhibitory effect

Comparison of different strategies to measure medication adherence via claims data in patients with chronic heart failure [PDF]
Medication adherence correlates with morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), but is difficult to assess. We conducted a retrospective methodological cohort study in 3,808 CHF patients, calculating adherence as proportion of ...

Angiotensin-(1-7) increases osmotic water permeability in isolated toad skin [PDF]
Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) increased osmotic water permeability in the isolated toad skin, a tissue with functional properties similar to those of the distal mammalian nephron. Concentrations of 0.1 to 10 μM were effective, with a peak at 20 min. This

Application and Assessment of Deep Learning for the Generation of Potential NMDA Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
Uncompetitive antagonists of the N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) have demonstrated therapeutic benefit in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, but some also cause dissociative effects that have led to the synthesis of illicit drugs.

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of GPCRs in autism spectrum disorders [PDF]
Changes in genetic and/or environmental factors to developing neural circuits and subsequent synaptic functions are known to be a causative underlying the varied socio-emotional behavioural patterns associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprising the largest family of cell-surface ...
