Endothelin mediates sex-differences in acclimation to high salt diet in rats
Introduction Current understanding of sodium (Na+) handling is based on studies done primarily in males. Contrary to the gradual increase in high salt (HS) induced natriuresis over 3–5 days in males, female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats have a robust ...

Impaired Pressure Natriuresis in Obese Youths [PDF]
AbstractObjective: To compare the response and recovery of blood pressure (BP) and sodium excretion (UNaV) in response to a behavioral stressor in overweight/obese and lean adolescents.Research Methods and Procedures: Twenty‐five lean (12% to 20% body fat) and 59 overweight/obese (>25% body fat) normotensive adolescents were provided all meals for 3

Normotensive sodium loading in normal man: Regulation of renin secretion during beta-receptor blockade [PDF]
Udgivelsesdato: 2008-Dec-10Saline administration may change renin system (RAAS) activity and sodium excretion at constant mean arterial pressure (MAP). We hypothesized that such responses are elicited mainly by renal sympathetic nerve activity by beta1 ...

Inflammatory Response as a Mechanism of Perinatal Programming: Long-term Impact on Pulmonary and Renal Function? [PDF]
RATIONALE: Temporal changes in the fetal environment, such as malnutrition and placental insufficiency induce intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and lead to a permanent changes of physiological processes later in life.

Angiotensin Type 2 Receptor Stimulation Increases Renal Function in Female, but Not Male, Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats [PDF]
Accumulating evidence suggests that the protective pathways of the renin–angiotensin system are enhanced in women, including the angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT 2 R), which mediates vasodilatory and natriuretic ...

Effects of Diet on Exaggerated Natriuresis in Hypertension
The effects of high and low salt diet on exaggerated natriuresis after volume expansion were examined in two groups of hypertensive patients, 6 with labile and 6 with fixed uncomplicated essential hypertension. Fixed hypertensives eliminated the administered salt-load faster than the labile hypertensives, and diet had no effect on the exaggerated ...

Brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP levels reflect pulmonary artery systolic pressure in trekkers at high altitude. [PDF]
Our objective was to evaluate the utility of the natriuretic peptides BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) and NT-proBNP as markers of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) in trekkers ascending to high altitude (HA). 20 participants had BNP and NT-proBNP

Resetting the neurohormonal balance in heart failure (HF). the relevance of the natriuretic peptide (NP) system to the clinical management of patients with HF [PDF]
The natriuretic peptide (NP) system, which includes atrial natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide, has an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis, promoting a number of physiological effects including ...
