Are primary care practitioners in Barbados following hypertension guidelines? - A chart audit.
(2010-11-22)
Abstract Background About 55% of the population 40 to 80 years of age in Barbados is hypertensive. The quality of hypertension primary care compared to available practice guidelines is uncertain. Findings Charts of ...
Programmed hypertension in rats treated with a NF-kappa B inhibitor during nephrogenesis: renal mechanisms
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2011)
Suppression of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) during murine lactation causes progressive renal injury, indicating a physiological action of angiotensin II on nephrogenesis. The nuclear factor NF-kappa B system is one ...
Effect of the Absence of Interleukin-12 on Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis Induced by Habu Snake Venom
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2009)
Background. Interleukin-12 (IL12) participates in the pathophysiology of various experimental types of progressive glomerulonephritis, but its role in acute mesangial glomerulonephritis (AMG) induced by habu snake venom ...
Renal denervation in an animal model of diabetes and hypertension: Impact on the autonomic nervous system and nephropathy
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2011)
Background: The effects of renal denervation on cardiovascular reflexes and markers of nephropathy in diabetic-hypertensive rats have not yet been explored. Methods: Aim: To evaluate the effects of renal denervation on ...
Effect of Short-term High-Dose Creatine Supplementation on Measured GFR in a Young Man With a Single Kidney
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2010)
It currently is unknown whether creatine supplementation is safe for people with or at risk of kidney disease. We report on the short-term effects of creatine supplementation on kidney function in a young man with a single ...
Early Brief Treatment with Losartan plus Mycophenolate Mofetil Provides Lasting Renoprotection in a Renal Ablation Model
(KARGER, 2010)
Background: Inflammatory events antecede established renal injury in rats with 5/6 renal ablation (Nx), as indicated by the beneficial effects of early, uninterrupted treatment with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Angiotensin ...
AT(1) blockade during lactation as a model of chronic nephropathy: mechanisms of renal injury
(AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2008)
Suppression of the renin-angiotensin system during lactation causes irreversible renal structural changes. In this study we investigated 1) the time course and the mechanisms underlying the chronic kidney disease caused ...
Invariant Natural Killer T Cell Agonist Modulates Experimental Focal and Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCESAN FRANCISCO, 2012)
A growing body of evidence demonstrates a correlation between Th2 cytokines and the development of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis ( FSGS). Therefore, we hypothesized that GSL-1, a monoglycosylceramide from Sphingomonas ...
Does long-term creatine supplementation impair kidney function in resistance-trained individuals consuming a high-protein diet?
(2013)
Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of creatine supplementation on kidney function in ...
