Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity is significantly increased in the kidneys of Dahl salt‐sensitive (SS) rats during the development of renal injury. Therefore, in the present study we examined whether blockade of mTOR with rapamycin inhibits renal injury in Dahl salt‐sensitive leptin receptor

Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

Abstract The antihypertensive mechanism of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors has been traditionally attributed to osmotic diuresis. However, emerging evidence reveals multifaceted mechanisms beyond diuresis, including regulation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system suppression, ion homeostasis ...

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...

One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney
Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

Abstract Endothelial dysfunction drives obesity‐related complications. Doppler ultrasound measurement of blood flow during 1‐min passive leg movements (PLM) is a valuable non‐invasive tool for assessing endothelial function and nitric oxide (NO)‐mediated vasodilation.

Abstract Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) can increase maximal strength of limb muscles in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), but it is mostly untested in people without SCI. Acute intermittent hypercapnia (AIC) may engage similar respiratory circuits to AIH, but the effects of AIC on human limb motor output are unknown.

Cellular microenvironment of erythropoietin‐producing cells in hypoxic and injured mouse kidneys
Abstract The main sources of circulating erythropoietin (Epo) in the adult are kidney Norn cells, a recently identified interstitial cell type capable of becoming renal Epo‐producing (REP) cells following a local decrease in tissue oxygenation. REP cells are restricted to small clusters in the corticomedullary border region, suggesting that their ...

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...
