BACKGROUND
Inositol polyphosphate phosphatase-like 1 (INPPL1, SHIP2) is a negative regulator of insulin signalling and has previously been found to be associated with hypertension, obesity and type 2 diabetes in a cohort of families with diabetes in the UK presenting features of metabolic syndrome.
BACKGROUND
Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)- 1B, encoded by the PTPN1 gene, negatively regulates insulin signaling by dephosphorylating the phosphotyrosine residues of the insulin receptor kinase activation segment. Several rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have been linked to diseases
In this paper we report the levels of the 4-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysing activity of the red blood cell membrane in 46 hypertensive patients as compared to 41 normal controls and eight secondary hypertensives. This activity has at least two components; one of them is dependent on the presence
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1beta (PTP-1beta) is involved in the regulation of several important physiological pathways. It regulates both insulin and leptin signaling, and interacts with the epidermal- and platelet-derived growth factor receptors. The gene is located on human chromosome 20q13, and
OBJECTIVE
To assess lymphocytic subpopulation by labelled monoclonal antibody technique in a small group of patients with untreated essential hypertension (EH) and to detect any alteration with control of blood pressure.
METHODS
Prospective study with phenotypic estimation of lymphocytes at
In this case-control study, 246 EH patients and 157 healthy controls were selected from Chinese Han population to explore the associations between the fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension (EH).The SequenomMassarray system was used for the genotyping of
A possible pathogenic polymorphism in the gene for the G subunit of the glycogen-associated regulatory form of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1 G subunit), causing an Asp-to-Tyr substitution at codon 905 (Asp905Tyr), has been reported to be associated with insulin resistance and hypersecretion of insulin
This review focuses on the mechanisms whereby the cytosolic Ca2+ regulates the ubiquitous Na+/ H+ exchanger (NHE-1) and how these regulatory processes might modify the behavior of NHE-1 in essential hypertension. The pH setpoint for activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger is controlled by two
Eighteen patients with mild to moderate hypertension on a drug regimen which included a thiazide diuretic had the latter substituted by frusemide for twelve weeks after an initial two-week placebo wash-out period. Blood pressure and heart rate and a number of plasma and urinary biochemical indices
This study involved 113 patients (mean age 50 +/- 14 years) with diastolic blood pressure above 95 mmHg. The patients abstained from taking any antihypertensive drug and received a placebo for one week before entering felodipine, a new calcium antagonist (5 mg x2/day for 2 weeks, then 10 mg x2/day)
The aim of the study was to evaluate chronic treatment with Cordafen (nifedipine) in the out-patients over 60 years of age with established arterial hypertension. Out of 100 out-patients aged 60-83 years 69 subjects completed one-year study. The main reasons of drop-outs were: lack of patient
Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Recent studies have identified an association between low vitamin D levels and hypertension. We investigated the association between vitamin D levels and hypertension in the general population. We recruited 400
A 55-year-old Asian man was referred to a gastroenterology clinic by his general practitioner following an incidental finding of raised alkaline phosphatase (ALP) on routine blood testing. His ALP was found to be 198 (NR 35-129) with otherwise normal liver function tests. His past medical history
Basolateral and brush-border membranes were prepared from the intestines and kidneys of spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive (WKY) rats fed on a calcium-adequate diet and assayed for their enzyme activities. In intestinal basolateral membranes the activities of Na+ K(+)-ATPase (EC
Agonist and depolarization-induced vascular smooth muscle contractions include the activation of rho/rho kinase pathway. However, there are no reports addressing the question whether this pathway is involved in ouabain-induced vascular smooth muscle contractions. Therefore, in this study, the
