Effects of Renal Denervation on Ouabain-Induced Hypertension in Rats [PDF]
Background. Ouabain, a Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor, is elevated in hypertensive patients. Evidence suggests ouabain contributes to hypertension mainly through activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS).

Ouabain Counteracts Retinal Ganglion Cell Death Through Modulation of BDNF and IL-1 Signaling Pathways [PDF]
Background: Ouabain is a steroid hormone that binds to the sodium pump (Na+, K+-ATPase) at physiological (nanomolar) concentrations, activating different signaling pathways.

Effects of ouabain on vascular reactivity [PDF]
Ouabain is an endogenous substance occurring in the plasma in the nanomolar range, that has been proposed to increase vascular resistance and induce hypertension. This substance acts on the a-subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase inhibiting the Na+-pump activity.

Ouabain at nanomolar concentrations is cytotoxic for biliary tract cancer cells.
Biliary tract cancer is a deadly disease with limited therapeutic options. Ouabain is a well-known inhibitor of the pumping function of Na+/K+-ATPase, though there is evidence that low concentrations of ouabain lead to a reduction of cell viability of ...

Radioimmunoassays, Ouabain-Like Material, and Ouabain [PDF]
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Bauer et al1 on the changes in the plasma concentration of a ouabain-like compound associated with vigorous exercise in both humans and dogs. The authors comment on the result that is most striking to us, namely the remarkably high concentrations of the immunoassayable substance achieved without ...

Neuroinflammation and Neutrophils: Modulation by Ouabain [PDF]
Cardiotonic steroids are natural compounds that present many physiological and pharmacological functions. They bind Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) modifying cellular ion concentration and trigger cell signaling mechanisms without altering ion balance. These steroids are known to modulate some immune responses, including cytokine production, neutrophil migration ...

Cardiac Glycoside Ouabain Exerts Anticancer Activity via Downregulation of STAT3
Cardiac glycosides are plant-derived steroid-like compounds which have been used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Ouabain, a cardiotonic steroid and specific Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, has been rediscovered for its potential use in the ...
