p66Shc regulates renal vascular tone in hypertension-induced nephropathy.
Renal preglomerular arterioles regulate vascular tone to ensure a large pressure gradient over short distances, a function that is extremely important for maintaining renal microcirculation. Regulation of renal microvascular tone is impaired in salt-sensitive (SS) hypertension-induced nephropathy, but the molecular mechanisms contributing to this impairment remain elusive. Here, we assessed the...
متن کاملModulation of sympathetic vascular tone by prostaglandins in corticosterone-induced hypertension in rats.
1. In corticosterone-induced hypertension in rats the activity of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system and its modulation by prostaglandins was studied. 2. Plasma concentrations of noradrenaline were reduced if compared with those in normotensive control rats. 3. The sensitivity of the isolated perfused hind-limb preparation to noradrenaline was enhanced before blood pressure rose and incr...
متن کاملReflux and Obstructive Nephropathy Diagnosis of Obstructive Nephropathy
Nevertheless, obstruction rarely can occur without hydronephrosis, when the ureter and renal pelvis are encased in a fibrotic process and unable to expand. In contrast, mild dilation of the collecting system of no functional significance is not unusual. Even obvious hydronephrosis in some cases may not be associated with functional obstruction [70]. Diuresis renography is helpful when the funct...
متن کاملReflux and Obstructive Nephropathy
Reflux nephropathy, or renal parenchymal scarring associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), is an important cause of renal failure. Some studies have shown that in up to 10% of adults and 30% of children requiring renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease, reflux nephropathy is the cause of the renal failure. Reflux nephropathy is thought to result from the combination of VUR of ...
متن کاملObstructive nephropathy and renal fibrosis.
Interstitial fibrosis has a major role in the progression of renal diseases. Several animal models are available for the study of renal fibrosis. The models of aminonucleoside-induced nephrotic syndrome, cyclosporin nephrotoxicity, and passive Heyman nephritis are characterized by molecular and cellular events similar to those that occur in obstructive nephropathy. Additionally, inhibition of a...
