ACE for all - a molecular perspective.

Journal of cell communication and signaling

Harrison C, Acharya KR.
PMID: 25027949
J Cell Commun Signal. 2014 Sep;8(3):195-210. doi: 10.1007/s12079-014-0236-8. Epub 2014 Jul 16.

Angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE, EC 3.4.15.1) is a zinc dependent dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase with an essential role in mammalian blood pressure regulation as part of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS). As such, it has long been targeted in the treatment...

Recent advances in managing and understanding diabetic nephropathy.

F1000Research

Tang SC, Chan GC, Lai KN.
PMID: 27303648
F1000Res. 2016 May 31;5. doi: 10.12688/f1000research.7693.1. eCollection 2016.

Diabetic nephropathy is the commonest cause of end-stage renal disease in most developed economies. Current standard of care for diabetic nephropathy embraces stringent blood pressure control via blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and glycemia control. Recent understanding of the...

Recurrence of Acute Page Kidney in a Renal Transplant Allograft.

Case reports in medicine

Kapoor R, Zayas C, Mulloy L, Jagadeesan M.
PMID: 27725836
Case Rep Med. 2016;2016:3898307. doi: 10.1155/2016/3898307. Epub 2016 Sep 20.

Acute Page Kidney (APK) phenomenon is a rare cause of secondary hypertension, mediated by activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Timely intervention is of great importance to prevent any end organ damage from hypertension. We present a unique case of...

Addition of a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor to a calcium channel blocker ameliorates arterial stiffness.

Clinical pharmacology : advances and applications

Kiuchi S, Hisatake S, Kawasaki M, Hirashima O, Kabuki T, Yamazaki J, Ikeda T.
PMID: 26487804
Clin Pharmacol. 2015 Oct 08;7:97-102. doi: 10.2147/CPAA.S81880. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: The aim of controlling hypertension is to protect against arteriosclerosis. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors have been reported to have antihypertensive effects, but their effect on the progression of arteriosclerosis is not fully understood....

Baseline Serum Aldosterone-to-Renin Ratio is Associated with the Add-on Effect of Thiazide Diuretics in Non-Diabetic Essential Hypertensives.

Acta Cardiologica Sinica

Huang CC, Leu HB, Huang PH, Wu TC, Lin SJ, Chen JW.
PMID: 27122683
Acta Cardiol Sin. 2013 Jan;29(1):37-48.

BACKGROUND: The baseline status of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) might modify the blood pressure (BP) lowering effects of thiazide diuretics. This study aimed to determine if baseline RAAS indicated by serum aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) could be associated with the add-on...

Effect of aldosterone on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of human peritoneal mesothelial cells.

Kidney research and clinical practice

Yu M, Shin HS, Lee HK, Ryu DR, Kim SJ, Choi KB, Kang DH.
PMID: 26484027
Kidney Res Clin Pract. 2015 Jun;34(2):83-92. doi: 10.1016/j.krcp.2015.03.005. Epub 2015 Apr 25.

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the major causes of technical failure in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the peritoneum is an early and reversible mechanism of peritoneal fibrosis. Human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) have their...

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Blockade in Diabetic Nephropathy. Present Evidences.

Journal of clinical medicine

Lozano-Maneiro L, Puente-García A.
PMID: 26569322
J Clin Med. 2015 Nov 09;4(11):1908-37. doi: 10.3390/jcm4111908.

Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease in developed countries and its prevalence has increased dramatically in the past few decades. These patients are at an increased risk for premature death, cardiovascular disease, and...

Aldosterone Signals the Onset of Depressive Behaviour in a Female Rat Model of Depression along with SSRI Treatment Resistance.

Neuroendocrinology

Franklin M, Hlavacova N, Babic S, Pokusa M, Bermudez I, Jezova D.
PMID: 25968351
Neuroendocrinology. 2015;102(4):274-287. doi: 10.1159/000431152. Epub 2015 May 09.

Depression is a serious condition that occurs more frequently in women and is often associated with treatment resistance. The main hypotheses of this study are that (a) aldosterone is an early marker of depression onset and (b) a tryptophan...

Hypokalemia-Induced Rhabdomyolysis by Primary Aldosteronism Coexistent With Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis.

Annals of rehabilitation medicine

Lee JH, Kim E, Chon S.
PMID: 26605182
Ann Rehabil Med. 2015 Oct;39(5):826-32. doi: 10.5535/arm.2015.39.5.826. Epub 2015 Oct 26.

We describes a patient with hypokalemia-induced rhabdomyolysis due to primary aldosteronism (PA), who suffered from slowly progressive muscle weakness after laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and was later diagnosed with coexisting sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM). A 54-year-old Asian male presented with...

Telmisartan reduced abdominal circumference and body weight with decreasing triglyceride level in patients with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Obesity research & clinical practice

Kakuma T, Gotoh K, Masaki T, Itateyama E, Abe N, Yoshimatsu H.
PMID: 24345653
Obes Res Clin Pract. 2010 Apr-Jun;4(2):e83-e162. doi: 10.1016/j.orcp.2009.12.003.

SUMMARY: Telmisartan has the dual ability to inhibit angiotensin II type 1 receptors and activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR), especially as a selective PPAR modulator that does not strongly promote adipogenesis for weight gain. Accordingly, Telmisartan is expected...
