Homeostasis as the Mechanism of Evolution. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Machine learning‐based prediction of elevated N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide among US general population

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 859-868, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Natriuretic peptide‐based pre‐heart failure screening has been proposed in recent guidelines. However, an effective strategy to identify screening targets from the general population, more than half of which are at risk for heart failure or pre‐heart failure, has not been well established.

The Inositol- 1,4,5=Trisphosphate System Is Involved in Rapid Effects of Aldosterone in Human Mononuclear Leukocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
There is increasing evidence for rapid steroid action on electrolyte transport in human mononuclear leukocytes (HML). In HML, aldosterone stimulates the Na+/H+ antiporter within a few minutes. Because a variety of hormones and growth factors activate the

Mineralocorticoid Receptor and Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican 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.

Prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis: insights from ILLUMINATE‐CS

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 869-878, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) as a biomarker in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) has yet to be fully determined, especially when compared with B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods and Results In this post‐hoc analysis of the ILLUMINATE‐CS (ILLUstration of the Management and prognosIs of ...

Growth differentiation factor‐15 and N‐terminal pro‐BNP in acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 888-899, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continues to be an increasingly common health problem associated with a high mortality rate. Elevated levels of Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF15) and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) are reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in a broad range of ...

Does Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonism Prevent Calcineurin Inhibitor-Induced Nephrotoxicity?

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2017
Calcineurin inhibitors have markedly reduced acute rejection rates in renal transplantation, thus significantly improved short-term outcome. The beneficial effects are, however, tampered by acute and chronic nephrotoxicity leading to interstitial ...

25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 1-Alpha-Hydroxylase-Dependent Stimulation of Renal Klotho Expression by Spironolactone

open access: yesKidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2013
Background: Klotho, a transmembrane protein, protease and hormone mainly expressed in kidney, is required for the suppression of 1,25(OH)2D3-generating 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-alpha-hydroxylase (Cyp27b1) by FGF23.

The in‐hospital administration of sacubitril/valsartan in acute myocardial infarction: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 998-1012, April 2025.
In patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction related heart failure, the in‐hospital administration of ARNIs was associated with a reduced risk of MACEs and re‐hospitalizations for heart failure, as well as cardiac remodeling, compared to standard therapy.
