Acute angiotensin II (Ang II) infusions into mice increase arterial pressure (AP) and elicit pressure natriuresis. We used this model of pressure natriuresis to delineate the distal nephron ...

Researchers have identified several genetic polymorphisms that appear to drive how coronary artery disease (CAD) first manifests in a patient. Emerging evidence suggests that a patient's response to ...

Objective: Hypotonic solutions cause vasoconstriction in rat tail arteries, due largely to activation of L-type calcium channels (CaV1.2). We studied possible roles of tyrosine kinases, ...

Patterns of human catecholamine secretion are heritable and have joint genetic determination with autonomic activity and blood pressure in the population, conclude US scientists. The findings may ...
