Activation of Rac-1 and RhoA contributes to podocyte injury in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2013 Rho-family GTPases like RhoA and Rac-1 are potent regulators of cellular signaling that control gene expression, migration and inflammation. Activation of Rho-GTPases has been linked to podocyte dysfunction, a feature of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). We

Treatment of dogs with compensated myxomatous mitral valve disease with spironolactone-a pilot study [PDF]
, 2017 Spironolactone improves outcome in dogs with advanced myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). Its efficacy in preclinical MMVD is unknown. The hypothesis was the administration of spironolactone to dogs with compensated MMVD demonstrating risk factors ...

Mineralocorticoid Receptor and Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2018 AbstractActivation of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the distal nephron by its ligand, aldosterone, plays an important role in sodium reabsorption and blood pressure regulation. However, expression of the MR goes beyond the kidney. It is expressed in a variety of other tissues in which its activation could lead to tissue injury.

ULK1 Phosphorylates and Regulates Mineralocorticoid Receptor
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) signaling regulates both renal Na-Cl reabsorption and K+ excretion. We previously demonstrated that phosphorylation of S843 in the MR ligand-binding domain in renal intercalated cells is involved in the balance of

Worsening renal function and outcome in heart failure patients with reduced and preserved ejection fraction and the impact of angiotensin receptor blocker treatment: data from the CHARM-study programme [PDF]
, 2016 Aims We investigated the association between worsening renal function (WRF) that occurs during renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibition initation and outcome in heart failure (HF) patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and compared ...

The melanocortin receptors and their accessory proteins. [PDF]
, 2013 The five melanocortin receptors (MCRs) named MC1R-MC5R have diverse physiological roles encompassing pigmentation, steroidogenesis, energy homeostasis and feeding behavior as well as exocrine function.

Homeostasis as the Mechanism of Evolution. [PDF]
, 2015 Homeostasis is conventionally thought of merely as a synchronic (same time) servo-mechanism that maintains the status quo for organismal physiology. However, when seen from the perspective of developmental physiology, homeostasis is a robust, dynamic ...
