Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Amniotic Fluid, Umbilical Arterial Blood, Umbilical Venous Blood, and Maternal Blood at Delivery, and Their Reference Values for Full-Term, Singleton, Cesarean Deliveries

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Background: Several cardiovascular biomarkers have regulatory functions in perinatal physiology.Aim: This study aimed to analyze the feto-maternal distribution pattern of biomarkers in samples of amniotic fluid, umbilical arterial blood, umbilical venous

Art27 interacts with GATA4, FOG2 and NKX2.5 and is a novel co-repressor of cardiac genes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Transcription factors play a crucial role in regulation of cardiac biology. FOG-2 is indispensable in this setting, predominantly functioning through a physical interaction with GATA-4. This study aimed to identify novel co-regulators of FOG-2 to further

Salidroside Ameliorates Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy by Upregulating Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-α

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive change in response to pressure overload, however the hypertrophy may evolve toward heart failure if cannot be corrected as soon as possible.

Morpho-functional changes of cardiac telocytes in isolated atrial amyloidosis in patients with atrial fibrillation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Telocytes are interstitial cells with long, thin processes by which they contact each other and form a network in the interstitium. Myocardial remodeling of adult patients with different forms of atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs with an increase in ...

Natriuretic peptides and cardiovascular damage in the metabolic syndrome. Molecular mechanisms and clinical implications [PDF]

, 2010
Natriuretic peptides are endogenous antagonists of vasoconstrictor and salt- and water-retaining systems in the body's defence against blood pressure elevation and plasma volume expansion, through direct vasodilator, diuretic and natriuretic properties ...

Presence of atrial natriuretic factor in normal and hyperplastic human prostate and its relationship with oxytocin localisation

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
In this work, we showed the presence of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in human prostate and compared its localisation in normal and hyperplastic conditions.

Indoxyl sulfate induces left ventricular hypertrophy via the AhR-FGF23-FGFR4 signaling pathway

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundPatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high risk of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and indoxyl sulfate (IS) are associated with LVH in patients with CKD, but the interactions between these ...

[Atrial natriuretic factor].

Medicina, 1988
The atrial natriuretic factor represents a group of atrial peptides structurally and functionally related. These peptides produce the following effects: natriuresis, diuresis, vasodilation and inhibition of aldosterone release. Its discovery in 1981 opened a new horizon in the studies on body sodium and water homeostasis, as well as on blood pressure ...

Natriuretic Peptide Receptor A as a Novel Target for Prostate Cancer

Molecular Cancer, 2011
Background The receptor for the cardiac hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA), is expressed in cancer cells, and natriuretic peptides have been implicated in cancers. However, the direct role of NPRA signaling in

Glucocorticoids Inhibit Sodium Depletion-induced Salt Appetite in Rat [PDF]

, 2010
Glucocorticoids, produced in adrenal cortex, exert potent natriuretic and diuretic actions in the kidney. Recently, it has been found that glucocorticoids could upregulate the expression of natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPR-A), the primary receptor of ...
