Concurrent Primary Aldosteronism and Renal Artery Stenosis: An Overlooked Condition Inducing Resistant Hypertension

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
To explore the clinical features of coexisting primary aldosteronism (PA) and renal artery stenosis (RAS), we retrospectively analyzed records from 71 patients with PA with RAS and a control group of 121 patients with PA without RAS. Aldosterone-to-renin

Angiotensinogen and the Modulation of Blood Pressure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
The angiotensin peptides that control blood pressure are released from the non-inhibitory plasma serpin, angiotensinogen, on cleavage of its extended N-terminal tail by the specific aspartyl-protease, renin. Angiotensinogen had previously been assumed to

Olfactory receptor 78 modulates renin but not baseline blood pressure

Physiological Reports, 2021
Olfactory receptor 78 (Olfr78) is a G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) that is expressed in the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) of the kidney as well as the peripheral vasculature, and is activated by gut microbial metabolites. We previously reported that

Plasma Angiotensin II Is Increased in Critical Coronavirus Disease 2019

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) employs angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as its receptor for cell entrance, and studies have suggested that upon viral binding, ACE2 catalytic activity could be inhibited; therefore ...

Primary Aldosteronism Screening Rates Differ with Sex, Race, and Comorbidities

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common but under‐recognized cause of secondary hypertension. Data directly comparing screening rates across single and overlapping indications are lacking. Methods and Results We conducted a retrospective review

Predicted Release and Analysis of Novel ACE-I, Renin, and DPP-IV Inhibitory Peptides from Common Oat (Avena sativa) Protein Hydrolysates Using in Silico Analysis

Foods, 2017
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in regulating hypertension by controlling vasoconstriction and intravascular fluid volume. RAAS itself is largely regulated by the actions of renin (EC 3.4.23.15) and the angiotensin-
