0.600 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Several signalling pathways have been studied and related to the development and progression of RH: modulation of sympathetic activity by leptin and aldosterone, primary aldosteronism, arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction and variations in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). miRNAs comprise a family of small non-coding RNAs that participate in the regulation of gene expression at post-transcriptional level. miRNAs are involved in the development of both cardiovascular damage and hypertension. 29184046 2017

Hypertensive disease
0.600 Biomarker group BEFREE In this model, neonatal leptin supplementation restores the physiologic leptin surge, attenuates the leptin-triggered sympathetic activation in adulthood and prevents leptin- or stress-evoked hypertension. 27613336 2016

Disease: Hypertensive disease
Hypertensive disease
0.600 Biomarker group BEFREE Hence, central leptin employs TNFα to mediate the diurnal blood pressure elevation in physiology while enhancement of this mechanism can contribute to hypertension development. 27226618 2016
