Divergent cardiac and renal effects of miR-181c-5p inhibition in a rodent heart failure model
AimsMiR-181c-5p overexpression associates with heart failure (HF) and cardiac damage, but the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of miR-181c-5p inhibition on cardiac function and fibrosis in a rodent model of ...

Isosakuranetin ameliorates hypertension in rats induced by L-NAME
Background Hypertension is a major global health problem that often develops without noticeable symptoms. Current treatments and complementary approaches focus on improving endothelial function and enhancing nitric oxide (NO) production to promote ...

Perinatal N(G)-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester administration decreases anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in adult mice [PDF]
Objective: We hypothesized that perinatal manipulations of the nitrergic system would affect adult animal behaviors. Methods: We tested this hypothesis by perinatally administering N(G)-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-specific antagonist ...

Novel enhancers of guanylyl cyclase‐A activity acting via allosteric modulation
Abstract Background and Purpose Guanylyl cyclase‐A (GC‐A), activated by endogenous atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular and renal homeostasis and is an attractive drug target. Even though small molecule modulators allow oral administration and longer half‐life,

CNS sites controlling the gastric pyloric sphincter: Neuroanatomical and functional study in the rat
The dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) of the brainstem is a crucial region that modulates the activity of gastric function. The pyloric sphincter at the gastroduodenal junction, which regulates the flow of partially digested food from the stomach, is mediated by the nucleus in a site‐specific manner.
