Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018 We aimed to examine the effects of a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor on systemic and intrarenal renin–angiotensin system (RAS) in subtotally nephrectomized non-diabetic rats, a model of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Plasma renin activity and plasma prorenin assays
Clinical Chemistry, 1991 Abstract Sensitivity and accuracy are essential features of an assay of plasma renin activity (PRA) because the normal concentration of PRA is only 1 pmol/L, and subnormal concentrations have diagnostic relevance. Conditions for blood collection need to be standardized but the conditions are not difficult for outpatients.

Cardiac remodelling in the era of the recommended four pillars heart failure medical therapy
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1029-1044, April 2025.Abstract Cardiac remodelling is a key determinant of worse cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It affects both the left ventricle (LV) structure and function as well as the left atrium (LA) and the right ventricle (RV).

Implementation of guideline‐recommended medical therapy for patients with heart failure in Europe
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 790-798, April 2025.Abstract Physicians' adherence to guideline‐recommended heart failure (HF) treatment remains suboptimal, especially regarding the target doses. In particular, there is evidence that non‐cardiologists are less compliant with HF guideline recommendations. This is likely to have a detrimental impact on patients' survival, readmissions and quality of life.

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1194-1202, April 2025.Abstract Aims Cardiac decompensation in cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) results in systemic congestion usually treated with diuretics. When despite high doses of diuretics, response is poor, ultrafiltration (UF) appears to be a useful and safe technique.

Bi-directional actions of estrogen on the renin-angiotensin system
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 Estrogen stimulates the renin-angiotensin system by augmenting both tissue and circulating levels of angiotensinogen and renin. We show, however, that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity in the circulation and in tissues is reduced in two animal

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review
Food Frontiers, EarlyView.Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.
