To evaluate nonclassic AME (NC-AME) due to partial 11β-HSD2 insufficiency and its association with hypertension, mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation, and inflammatory parameters.
Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein (apo) B, apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), LDL particle and HDL particle concentrations were all decreased in PA subjects vs control subjects and subjects with untreated hypertension (P < 0.016).
In pairings of APOE*4 with hypertension (HTN) and congestive heart failure (CHF), the variables contributed independently and additively to all-cause dementia risk.
Treatment with or without the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) inhibitor fludarabine was performed in an endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene knockout-related (<i>Nos3<sup>-/-</sup></i>) mouse model with the hypertension phenotype of periodontitis induced by bacteria.
We hypothesize that endothelial PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ) provides cardiovascular protection in offspring from pregnancies complicated by hypertension.
The present study therefore investigated whether aortic MMP-2 activity is increased by oxidative stress in early hypertension and then contributes to hypertrophic arterial remodeling by reducing the levels of calponin-1.
Baseline urinary Hcy-thiolactone/creatinine was significantly associated with plasma tHcy, ApoA1, glomerular filtration rate, potassium and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (positively) and with age, hypertension, smoking, urinary creatinine, plasma bilirubin and kynurenine (negatively).
Combined L-LAME and HF diet-induced hypertension is related to increased oxidative stress, inhibiting AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/ peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator 1α (PGC-1α) pathway and altered gut microbiota compositions.
The associations of urinary cadmium with hypertension risk were modified by rs14070 (P-value for interaction = 0.022) and rs7201 (P-value for interaction = 0.009) in gene MMP-2.
In addition, a significant increase in serum levels of sCD36, PPAR-γ and YKL-40 was observed in patients with T2DM (>5 yr) with hypertension compared to healthy controls (P< 0.05).
Also, treatment with EGb761 inhibited hypertension-induced decrease in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein expression and increase in the protein expressions of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1B in the kidney tissues.
We reported previously that mice lacking ATP2B1 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC ATP2B1 KO mice) exhibited high blood pressure and increased intracellular calcium concentration.
