The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Neutral endopeptidase and angiotensin I converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism in humans

, 2004
Neutral endopeptidase (NEP) hydrolyses angiotensins (Ang) I and II and generates angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(17)]. In humans, the insertion/deletion (I/D) angiotensin- I converting enzyme ( ACE) gene polymorphism determined plasma ACE levels by 40%.

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Outcomes in Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases: Real‐World Data From the ILD‐PRO Registry

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective We evaluated baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease–associated progressive pulmonary fibrosis (SARD‐PPF) and evaluated whether outcomes differed by SARD subtype. Methods The ILD‐PRO Registry is a prospective multicenter US registry of patients with PPF.

Effects of proximal tubule-specific ATRAP enhancement on hypertension in a remnant kidney chronic kidney disease model of mice

Scientific Reports
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently accompanies hypertension, exacerbating CKD progression in a vicious cycle. Angiotensin II type 1 receptor-associated protein (ATRAP) promotes AT1 receptor internalization to inhibit hyperactivation of its ...

Trends in 25 years of antihypertensive agent utilization in Croatia – an alert for scientific community and healthcare providers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Hypertension is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate 25‐year trends in antihypertensive agent (AHA) utilization in Croatia between 2000 and 2024. Methods We conducted a national, population‐based analysis using IMS and IQVIA pharmaceutical databases.

Genetic polymorphism of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), but not angiotensin II type I receptor (ATr1), has a gender-specific role in panic disorder

, 2012
Aims: Angiotensins were shown to have some role in the development of panic disorder (PD). In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of polymorphisms in two angiotensin-related genes, angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin II type

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.

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.
