Effect of amaranth proteins on the RAS system: In vitro, in vivo and ex vivo assays [PDF]
The aim of this work was to analyse the hypotensive effect of amaranthprotein/peptides on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The mechanism of action of these peptides was studied in vivo and ex vivo.

ABSTRACT Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The main pathophysiology mechanism of VS includes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to surgical trauma, release of pro‐inflammatory mediators caused by blood contact with foreign surfaces of heart‐lung machine (pump and tubing)

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Influence of antihypertensive therapy, sodium intake and the concentration of potassium in plasma on concentration of aldosterone and plasma renin activity [PDF]
Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a group of disorders which are characterized by inadequate and non-suppressible production of aldosterone. The prevalence of PA is increasing in hypertensive population.

Hypokalemic rhabdomyolysis: a rare manifestation of primary aldosteronism [PDF]
Rhabdomyolysis is a rare presentation of hypokalemia, although muscle weakness is a well-known manifestation of hypokalemia. Primary aldosteronism is characterized by hypertension, suppressed plasma renin activity, increased aldosterone excretion and ...
