Renal effects of glucose transporter 4 in Nω-nitro-L-arginine/ /high salt-induced hypertensive rats.
OBJECTIVES The aim of study was to determine the renal effects of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in a hypertensive nephropathy rat model. BACKGROUND GLUT4 has been implicated in insulin resistance and hypertension in several animal models; however its role in hypertensive nephropathy still remains unclear. METHODS Hypertensive nephropathy was induced by Nω-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), a nitric ...
متن کاملl-Arginine attenuates cardiovascular impairment in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.
Nitric oxide (NO) is essential for normal function of the cardiovascular system. This study has determined whether chronic administration of l-arginine, the biological precursor of NO, attenuates the development of structural and functional changes in hearts and blood vessels of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. Uninephrectomized rats treated with DOCA (25 mg every 4th ...
متن کاملArterial 5-Hydroxytryptamine Transporter Function Is Impaired in Deoxycorticosterone Acetate and N -Nitro-L-Arginine But Not Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
We reported upregulation of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT) transporter (5-HTT) protein in peripheral arteries from deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. We hypothesized that upregulated 5-HTT may be generally elevated in hypertensive models and, as a consequence, a higher basal concentration of 5-HT, the 5-HT metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, and an increased 5-HT uptake...

متن کاملHeme Oxygenase Improves Renal Function by Potentiating Podocyte-Associated Proteins in Nω-Nitro-l-Arginine-Methyl Ester (l-NAME)-Induced Hypertension.
BACKGROUND Although heme-oxygenase (HO) is cytoprotective, its effects on podocyte regulators like podocalyxin, podocin, CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) in renal dysfunction in N (ω)-nitro-l-arginine-methyl ester (l-NAME) hypertension are largely unclear. METHODS Hypertension was induced in normotensive Sprague Dawley rats by administering l-NAME for 4 weeks. Enzyme immunoassay, enzyme-linked ...
