Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Dietary Potassium Downregulates Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme, Renin, and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
BackgroundThe importance of dietary potassium in health and disease has been underestimated compared with that placed on dietary sodium. Larger effort has been made on reduction of sodium intake and less on the adequate dietary potassium intake, although

High salt intake damages the heart through activation of cardiac (pro) renin receptors even at an early stage of hypertension. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
It has not yet been fully elucidated whether cardiac tissue levels of prorenin, renin and (P)RR are activated in hypertension with a high salt intake.

Prognostic Implication of CYP2C19 Genotype According to Clinical Risk Stratification After Drug‐Eluting Stent Implantation

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
From the nationwide multicenter consortium, 8,163 patients undergoing drug‐eluting stent implantation were classified according to the presence of the CYP2C19 loss‐of‐function (LoF) allele: rapid or normal metabolizers (RMs/NMs) vs. intermediate or poor metabolizers (IMs/PMs), and clinical risk was stratified using the CHADS‐P2A2RC and TRS 2°P scores ...

Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome in People With HIV: An Emerging Frontier for Clinical Pharmacology

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
As antiretroviral therapy (ART) prolongs lifespans, people with HIV (PWH) face a new syndemic: Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic (CKM) syndrome. Yet CKM in PWH is poorly characterized. Inflammation, complex pharmacokinetic (PK) alterations, ART‐associated metabolic effects, and gut dysbiosis amplify risk. Managing CKM increases medication burden, thereby

Effect of a SGLT2 inhibitor on the systemic and intrarenal renin–angiotensin system in subtotally nephrectomized rats

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).

Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system [PDF]

, 2002
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a key role in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme and have been shown to be effective in many cardiovascular ...

Risk of Acute Kidney Injury Associated With Nephrotoxic Burden in Hospitalized Patients: A Scoping Review

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Limited evidence exists synthesizing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with the concomitant administration of multiple nephrotoxic drugs, and even less examining the concept of nephrotoxic burden. The objective of this scoping review was to (1) identify definitions of nephrotoxic burden; (2) methods used to quantify (use of calculations)

Central injection of captopril inhibits the blood pressure response to intracerebroventricular choline

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
In the present study, we investigated the involvement of the brain renin-angiotensin system in the effects of central cholinergic stimulation on blood pressure in conscious, freely moving normotensive rats. In the first step, we determined the effects of
