UNI-494 treatment improves measures of renal dysfunction and cardiac pathology in male rats receiving L-NAME and angiotensin II. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiol Rep
Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction is essential in the pathophysiology of both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nicorandil, a nicotinamide nitrate derivative, has been used for years as a cardioprotective agent. It binds to sulfonylurea receptors, activating mitochondrial ATP‐sensitive potassium channels (MitoKATP) and ...

Possible dose-dependent effect of eplerenone on intraocular pressure

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Purpose: Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the main modifiable risk factor for glaucoma. Current therapies target the anterior outflow of aqueous humor or its production. This study aims to demonstrate eplerenone could reduce IOP through a possible posterior
