Neuron- or glial-specific ablation of secreted renin does not affect renal renin, baseline arterial pressure, or metabolism.
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS), known for its roles in cardiovascular, metabolic, and developmental regulation, is present in both the circulation and in many individual tissues throughout the body. Substantial evidence supports the existence of a brain RAS, though quantification and localization of brain renin have been hampered by its low expression levels. We and others have previously d...
متن کاملCinacalcet does not affect longitudinal growth but increases body weight gain in experimental uraemia.
BACKGROUND Cinacalcet (CIN) efficiently suppresses parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion by the activation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR). Epiphyseal chondrocytes also express the CaR and its activation promotes cell proliferation and differentiation in vitro. Hence, the impact of CIN on the growth plate function requires assessment before routine administration in children. METHODS We t...
متن کاملBlocking VLDL secretion causes hepatic steatosis but does not affect peripheral lipid stores or insulin sensitivity in mice.
The liver secretes triglyceride-rich VLDLs, and the triglycerides in these particles are taken up by peripheral tissues, mainly heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. Blocking hepatic VLDL secretion interferes with the delivery of liver-derived triglycerides to peripheral tissues and results in an accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. However, it is unclear how interfering with hepat...
متن کاملAdrenomedullin gene expression differences in mice do not affect blood pressure but modulate hypertension-induced pathology in males.
Adrenomedullin (AM) is a potent vasodilator peptide in plasma at picomolar levels. Polymorphisms in the human AM gene have been associated with genetic predisposition to diabetic nephropathy and proteinuria with essential hypertension, and numerous studies have demonstrated that endogenous AM plays a role in protecting the heart and kidneys from fibrosis resulting from cardiovascular disease. E...
متن کاملDeletion of endothelial cell endothelin B receptors does not affect blood pressure or sensitivity to salt.
Endothelin B receptors in different tissues regulate diverse physiological responses including vasoconstriction, vasodilatation, clearance of endothelin-1, and renal tubular sodium reabsorption. To examine the role of endothelial cell endothelin B receptors in these processes, we generated endothelial cell-specific endothelin B receptor knockout mice using a Cre-loxP approach. We have demonstra...
