Feeding pregnant ewes a high-salt diet or saltbush suppresses their offspring’s postnatal renin activity

Animal, 2009
If ewes consumed a high-salt diet or saltbush during the last 3 months of pregnancy and for 3 weeks after birth, we expected the renin activity of their lamb to be suppressed at birth and at 3 weeks of age.

Probiotic consumption reduces alveolar bone loss and kidney damage in pregnant rats with experimental periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 (B. lactis HN019) is a probiotic bacterial strain with immunomodulatory properties. Its benefits have been observed in healthy and systemically compromised animals with periodontitis (PD). Our objective was to investigate the local and systemic effects of the systemic administration of B.

Influence of Captopril Treatment of Plasma Renin Activity � Mathematical Model

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2010
A model of the dynamics of plasma renin activity under the influence of various doses of captopril is formulated. The influence of captopril on renin angiotensin system is different from the effects of the other studied drugs nifedipine and nicardipine.

Collecting Duct Nitric Oxide Synthase 1ß Activation Maintains Sodium Homeostasis During High Sodium Intake Through Suppression of Aldosterone and Renal Angiotensin II Pathways

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundDuring high sodium intake, the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system is downregulated and nitric oxide signaling is upregulated in order to remain in sodium balance.

Forsythiaside A Alleviates Kidney Injury and Intestinal Epithelium Dysfunction in IgA Nephropathy by Inhibiting TLR4/NF‐κB Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, is a major and growing public health issue. It results from intestinal barrier dysfunction that leads to mesangial deposition of pathogenic galactose‐deficient IgA1 (Gd‐IgA1) and renal inflammation.

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma: Diagnosis and treatment

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 (VEGFR‐3) and angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2)/tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin‐like and EGF‐like domain 2 (TIE2) signaling pathways play an important role in lymphangiogenesis.
