In patients hospitalized with acute heart failure, temporary serelaxin infusion reduced 6-month mortality through unknown mechanisms. This study therefore explored the cardiovascular effects of temporary serelaxin administration in mice subjected to the angiotensin II (AngII)/L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME) heart...

OBJECTIVES: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting approximately 15% of the human population. Recently, increased concentration of nitric oxide in serum and synovial fluid in patients with OA has been observed. However, the exact role...

Cerebrovascular damage after midlife transient hypertension in non-transgenic and Alzheimer's disease rats.

Brain research

Lai AY, Joo IL, Trivedi AU, Dorr A, Hill ME, Stefanovic B, McLaurin J.
PMID: 33582120
Brain Res. 2021 May 01;1758:147369. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2021.147369. Epub 2021 Feb 12.

Hypertension, including transient events, is a major risk factor for developing late-onset dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Anti-hypertensive drugs facilitate restoration of normotension without amelioration of increased dementia risk suggesting that transient hypertensive insults cause irreversible damage. This study...

AMP-activated protein kinase regulates L-arginine mediated cellular responses.

Nutrition & metabolism

PMID: 23718875
Nutr Metab (Lond). 2013 May 29;10(1):40. doi: 10.1186/1743-7075-10-40.

BACKGROUND: Our prior study revealed the loss in short-term L-Arginine (ARG) therapeutic efficacy after continuous exposure; resulting in tolerance development, mediated by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) down-regulation, secondary to oxidative stress and induced glucose accumulation. However, the potential...
