Dialysis requiring renal failure is a silent epidemic. Despite an annual mortality of 24% the dialysis population has increased by 1-4% per annum. Regardless of the initial injury, tubulointerstitial fibrosis is a feature of the renal pathology and i

Congestive cardiac failure has become one of the major health challenges of the 21st century and new therapies are needed to address this problem. The concentration of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the heart has been shown to decrease as fib

Background Research into gene expression enables scientists to decipher the complex regulatory networks that control fundamental biological processes. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a powerful and ubiquitous method for interrogation of gene exp

In patients with congestive cardiac failure, treatment with ACE inhibitors results in peripheral vasodilatation and an increase in cardiac output without an increase in heart rate, which suggests a positive inotropic effect. This cannot be explained

Aims: In both normotensive and hypertensive rats, the degree of myocardial fibrosis is inversely correlated with the concentration of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the myocardium. Treatment with nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitors also cau

In this study we sought to determine whether early myocardial fibrosis is associated with depletion of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the heart, thereby suggesting a possible pathogenetic role for depletion of myocardial VIP levels in the dev

(1) Salt sensitive hypertension, which occurs as a result of treatment with nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, is associated with a loss of the usual down-regulatory effect of dietary sodium on angiotensin II (Ang II) synthesis. In the spontaneous hyp

In the Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive rat, a diet containing L-arginine, the natural substrate for nitric oxide synthase, abrogates the hypertension. We postulated that nitric oxide synthase inhibition might induce a salt-sensitive form of hyperten

Changes in angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity appear to be important in mediating the natriuresis which ensues after administration of an oral or gastric sodium load. In this study, we sought to determine the time course of the changes in A
