hypotension/proline

The hypotensive efficacy of (S)-1-[6-amino-2[[hydroxy(4-phenylbutyl) phosphinyl]oxy]-1-oxohexyl]-L-proline (SQ 29,852), a phosphorus-containing novel angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) was examined in conscious two-kidney, one-clip Goldblatt hypertensive dogs. The acute hypotensive

Subcutaneous administration of human IgG is an alternative to intravenous replacement therapy that is associated with more stable serum IgG levels and fewer systemic adverse events. Highly concentrated IgG solutions are most convenient to minimize infusion volume, but their preparation and stability

BACKGROUND The snakes from the Bitis genus are some of the most medically important venomous snakes in sub Saharan Africa, however little is known about the composition and effects of these snake venom peptides. Considering that the victims with Bitis genus snakes have exacerbate hypotension and

The effect of sodium D-3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) on the amino acidemia caused by hemorrhagic stress was studied. Rats were infused 3-OHB (3-OHB group, n = 11) at a rate of 30 mumol/min.kg or the same volume of saline (control group, n = 11) for 1 h prior to hemorrhage. Mean arterial pressure was

SPAK (Ste20/SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase) has been recently identified as a protein kinase which targets the electroneutral cation-coupled chloride cotransporters and it stands out as a target for inhibition in novel anti-hypertensive agents. From this prospective, any information about

Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporters (NKCCs), including NKCC1 and renal-specific NKCC2, and the Na(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NCC) play pivotal roles in the regulation of blood pressure (BP) and renal NaCl reabsorption. Oxidative stress-responsive kinase-1 (OSR1) is a known upstream regulator of N(K)CCs.

The mechanism of the hypotensive response produced by inhibition of the angiotensin converting enzyme was studied in pentobarbital anesthetized dogs. A recently developed potent inhibitor of the converting enzyme, SQ 14,225 (D-3-mercapto-2-methyl propanoyl-L-proline), administered i.v. to intact

BACKGROUND L-carnitine deficiency is commonly observed in chronic hemodialysis patients, and this depletion may cause clinical symptoms like muscle weakness, anaemia, and hypotension. METHODS We pursued a targeted metabonomics investigation in 28 hemodialysis patients (13 non diabetics and 15

Polymorphisms in the gene encoding sterile 20/SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase (SPAK) associate with hypertension susceptibility in humans. SPAK interacts with WNK kinases to regulate the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) and Na(+)-Cl(-) co-transporters [collectively, N(K)CC]. Mutations in WNK1/4 and N(K)CC

Vasoplegia impedes therapeutic interventions to restore vascular tone, leading to severe hypotension, poor tissue perfusion, and multiple organ failure in septic shock. High levels of circulating nitric oxide (NO) play a crucial role in endotoxin-induced vascular hyporeactivity. Proinflammatory

Tissue levels, tissue angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and hypotension were examined 20 min, 1, 5 and 14 h after oral administration of 1-[(S)-3-acetylthio-2-methylpropanoyl]-L-prolyl-L-phenylalanine (alacepril, DU-1219) (37.5 mg (92 mumol)/kg) or

The effects of (S)-1[6-amino-2[[hydrozy(4- phenylbutyl)phosphinyl]oxy]-1-oxohexyl]-L-proline (SQ 29 852), a phosphorus-containing novel angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), which is synthesized aiming an ACEI with long-lasting activity and with few side effects, were studied using

Extensive research has provided few therapeutic agents for the treatment of septicemia. Bradykinin, an endogenous vasodepressor hormone, is a key mediator in the hypotension seen with septicemia. The present investigation shows that a stable metabolic fragment of bradykinin,

OBJECTIVE Studies of inherited conditions characterized by high or low blood pressure reveal the importance of a new signalling cascade, With no Lysine kinases (WNK) --> ste20/SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase (SPAK)/oxidative stress-responsive kinase-1 (OSR1) --> Cation-Chloride

Effects of a new angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, N-[3-(N-cyclohexanecarbonyl-D-alanylthio)-2-methylpropanoyl] -L-proline calcium (MC-838), on the systemic and coronary circulation were evaluated in anesthetized dogs, and the effects were compared with those of captopril. Administration of
