Molecular Implications of natriuretic peptides in the protection from hypertension and target organ damage development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The pathogenesis of hypertension, as a multifactorial trait, is complex. High blood pressure levels, in turn, concur with the development of cardiovascular damage.

Urinary neprilysin in the critically ill patient [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Nephrology, 2017
Critically ill patients in intensive care face hazardous conditions. Among these, acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently seen as a result of sepsis. Early diagnosis of kidney injury is of the utmost importance in the guidance of interventions or avoidance of treatment-induced kidney injury. On these grounds, we searched for markers that could indicate

Specific fluorogenic substrates for neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase, EC 3.4.24.11) which are highly resistant to serine- and metalloproteases

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
Two intramolecularly quenched fluorogenic peptides containing o-aminobenzoyl (Abz) and ethylenediamine 2,4-dinitrophenyl (EDDnp) groups at amino- and carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues, Abz-DArg-Arg-Leu-EDDnp (Abz-DRRL-EDDnp) and Abz-DArg-Arg-Phe ...

Analyzing Corin–BNP–NEP Protein Pathway Revealing Differential Mechanisms in AF-Related Ischemic Stroke and No AF-Related Ischemic Stroke

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
BackgroundThe incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF)-related stroke increases with aging. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) family, including Corin-B type natriuretic peptide (BNP)-neprilysin (NEP) protein levels increased with age and are risk markers of ...

Neprilysin Deficiency Protects Against Fat-Induced Insulin Secretory Dysfunction by Maintaining Calcium Influx [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Neprilysin contributes to free fatty acid (FFA)-induced cellular dysfunction in nonislet tissues in type 2 diabetes. Here, we show for the first time that with prolonged FFA exposure, islet neprilysin is upregulated and this is associated with reduced ...

Guideline‐directed medical therapy in patients undergoing transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair for secondary mitral regurgitation

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 2152-2161, November 2022., 2022
Triple guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) prescription was associated with a lower 2‐year mortality compared to non‐triple GDMT prescription (A). Such association was observed in patients with concomitant comorbidities (B). CI, confidence interval; CKD, chronic kidney disease; CMP, cardiomyopathy; HR, hazard ratio; MRA, mineralocorticoid ...

Imbalance in Renal Vasoactive Enzymes Induced by Mild Hypoxia: Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Increases While Neutral Endopeptidase Decreases

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Chronic hypoxia has been postulated as one of the mechanisms involved in salt-sensitive hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kidneys have a critical role in the regulation of arterial blood pressure through vasoactive systems, such as the renin-

Effects of BNP and Sacubitrilat/Valsartan on Atrial Functional Reserve and Arrhythmogenesis in Human Myocardium

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundAlthough the angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan started a new era in heart failure (HF) treatment, less is known about the tissue-level effects of the drug on the atrial myocardial functional reserve and ...
