Wistar rats resistant to the hypertensive effects of ouabain exhibit enhanced cardiac vagal activity and elevated plasma levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ouabain is a cardiac glycoside produced in the adrenal glands and hypothalamus. It affects the function of all cells by binding to Na+/K+-ATPase. Several lines of evidence suggest that endogenous ouabain could be involved in the pathogenesis of essential

Consequences of the Lack of TNFR1 in Ouabain Response in the Hippocampus of C57BL/6J Mice
Biomedicines, 2022 Ouabain is a cardiac glycoside that has a protective effect against neuroinflammation at low doses through Na+/K+-ATPase signaling and that can activate tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the brain.

Hypertensive effects of the iv administration of picomoles of ouabain
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2011 Ouabain, an endogenous digitalis compound, has been detected in nanomolar concentrations in the plasma of several mammals and is associated with the development of hypertension. In addition, plasma ouabain is increased in several hypertension models, and

The Influence of Ouabain on Human Dendritic Cells Maturation
Mediators of Inflammation, 2014 Although known as a Na,K-ATPase inhibitor, several other cellular and systemic actions have been ascribed to the steroid Ouabain (Oua). Particularly in the immune system, our group showed that Ouabain acts on decreasing lymphocyte proliferation ...

Anti-inflammatory and Antinociceptive Activity of Ouabain in Mice
Mediators of Inflammation, 2011 Ouabain, an inhibitor of the Na+/K+-ATPase pump, was identified as an endogenous substance of human plasma. Ouabain has been studied for its ability to interfere with various regulatory mechanisms. Despite the studies portraying the ability of ouabain to

Ouabain enhances ADPKD cell apoptosis via the intrinsic pathway
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is highly influenced by factors circulating in blood. We have shown that the hormone ouabain enhances several characteristics of the ADPKD cystic phenotype, including the rate of cell ...
