Nitric oxide modulates expression of extracellular matrix genes linked to fibrosis in kidney mesangial cells [PDF]
, 2007 Mesangial cells are thought to be important mediators of glomerular inflammation and fibrosis. Studies have established a direct role for nitric oxide (NO) in the regulation of gene expression in mesangial cells.

Sex differences in angiotensin II- induced hypertension
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2007 Sex differences in the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease have been described in humans and in animal models. In this paper we will review some of our studies which have as their emphasis the examination of the role of sex differences
