Kinin-B1 receptors in ischaemia-induced pancreatitis: Functional importance and cellular localisation [PDF]
In this study we compare the role of kininB1 and B2 receptors during ischaemia/reperfusion of rat pancreas. Our investigations were prompted by the observation that infusion of a kininB2 receptor antagonist produced significant improvement in acute ...

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in cardiovascular translational biology
This review examines the role of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in cardiovascular biology and the molecular mechanisms involved in mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism. The data discussed suggest that MRAs can play an important role in decreasing the impact of inflammation and fibrosis on cardiorenal outcomes.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: The evolution of utility and pharmacology [PDF]
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: The evolution of utility and pharmacology. For more than 30 years after the discovery of aldosterone, scientists believed that its sole site of action was at epithelial tissues, most notably the kidney, where it ...

The aldosterone-mineralocorticoid receptor pathway exerts anti-inflammatory effects in endotoxin-induced uveitis. [PDF]
We have previously shown that the eye is a mineralocorticoid-sensitive organ and we now question the role of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in ocular inflammation.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Activation and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Treatment in Cardiac and Renal Diseases [PDF]
Cardiac and renal diseases remain major challenges for healthcare systems in developed countries and commonly coexist, with a disorder in the heart or kidney often leading to secondary dysfunction or injury in the other organ. Indeed, the term cardiorenal syndrome has been introduced to describe the broad spectrum of disease involving both the heart ...
