Hypertension in obesity represents a major global health challenge, closely linked to the global epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Excess adiposity contributes to elevated blood pressure through multiple, interrelated mechanisms, including activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system ...

CYP3A5 genetic variability influences sildenafil and metabolite in pulmonary hypertension
Aim Interindividual variability in sildenafil response among pulmonary hypertension patients (PH) may be influenced by CYP3A5 polymorphisms. CYP3A5*3 allele reduces CYP3A5 activity and affects sildenafil metabolism. This study investigated the associations between CYP3A5 genotype and plasma concentrations of sildenafil and N‐desmethyl sildenafil, as ...

Uromodulin (UMOD) regulates tubular sodium handling and modulates NKCC2, the molecular target of loop diuretics (LD). Although UMOD variants have been associated with blood pressure and hypertension, their pharmacogenetic relevance in heart failure (HF) remains unknown.

Gastrin and D1 Dopamine Receptor Interact to Induce Natriuresis and Diuresis
Oral NaCl produces a greater natriuresis and diuresis than the intravenous infusion of the same amount of NaCl. Gastrin is the major gastrointestinal hormone taken up by renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells.

Abstract Patients with acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) are usually admitted to hospital for management. There is growing interest in delivering intravenous (IV) diuretic therapy at home, in the community or at hospital day‐care units; the safety and effectiveness of outpatient‐based management (OPM) for ADHF has not been established.
