The contribution of elevated aldosterone to the pathogenesis of malignant, ANG II-dependent hypertension remains uncertain. Therefore, we examined whether chronic mineralocorticoid receptor blockade attenuates the development of malignant hypertension in transgenic rats (TGRs) with inducible
Dietary modulation has the potential to prevent or ameliorate systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which is abundant in cruciferous vegetables, was evaluated in a murine model of SLE because of its antiestrogenic activities. Female (NZB x NZW) F1 mice, which develop SLE, were
In the present study, we examined the effects of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibition on the development of angiotensin II-dependent hypertension and on renal function in transgenic rats with inducible expression of the mouse renin gene (strain name Cyp1a1-Ren-2). Hypertension was induced in
BACKGROUND
Previous studies have demonstrated that the urinary excretion of angiotensinogen is significantly increased in ANG II-infused hypertensive rats, which is associated with an augmentation of intrarenal ANG II levels. These findings suggest that urinary angiotensinogen excretion rates
Hypertension plays an important role in the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. Studies to date, with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA), have demonstrated varying degrees of results in modifying the development of renal fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate whether
