Angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonist directly inhibits proximal tubule sodium pump activity in obese but not in lean Zucker rats.

We have reported recently that the renal angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptors are upregulated and involved in promoting natriuresis/diuresis in obese but not in lean Zucker rats. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that there is an enhanced AT2 receptor signaling via NO/cGMP pathway

Dietary obesity increases NO and inhibits BKCa-mediated, endothelium-dependent dilation in rat cremaster muscle artery: association with caveolins and caveolae.

Obesity is a risk factor for hypertension and other vascular disease. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of diet-induced obesity on endothelium-dependent dilation of rat cremaster muscle arterioles. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (213 ± 1 g) were fed a cafeteria-style high-fat or control diet

Obesity up-regulates intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium channels and myoendothelial gap junctions to maintain endothelial vasodilator function.

The mechanisms involved in altered endothelial function in obesity-related cardiovascular disease are poorly understood. This study investigates the effect of chronic obesity on endothelium-dependent vasodilation and the relative contribution of nitric oxide (NO), calcium-activated potassium

Biosynthesis of H2S is impaired in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) has been involved in cardiovascular homoeostasis but data about its role in animal models of diabetic pathology are still lacking. Here, we have analysed H2S signalling in a genetic model of diabetes, the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. METHODS NOD mice exhibit a

Regulation of renal ouabain-resistant Na+-ATPase by leptin, nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, and cyclic nucleotides: implications for obesity-associated hypertension.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study examined the effect of leptin on renal ouabain-resistant Na(+)-ATPase, which drives the reabsorption of about 10% of sodium transported in the proximal tubule. Chronic leptin administration (0.25 mg/kg s.c. twice daily for seven days) increased Na(+)-ATPase activity by 62.9%. This effect

Nebivolol stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nebivolol is a third-generation β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) blocker with additional beneficial effects, including the improvement of lipid and glucose metabolism in obese individuals. However, the underlying mechanism of nebivolol's role in regulating the lipid profile remains largely unknown. In

Lipoamide or lipoic acid stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes via the endothelial NO synthase-cGMP-protein kinase G signalling pathway.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Metabolic dysfunction due to loss of mitochondria plays an important role in diabetes, and stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis by anti-diabetic drugs improves mitochondrial function. In a search for potent stimulators of mitochondrial biogenesis, we examined the effects and mechanisms

The vasoactive peptide adrenomedullin is secreted by adipocytes and inhibits lipolysis through NO-mediated beta-adrenergic agonist oxidation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Adipocytes are known to secrete a number of adipokines, but many adipocyte secretions and their functional importance remain to be characterized. This work shows that human white adipocytes and 3T3-F442A-derived adipocytes produce adrenomedullin (AM) and that AM acts in an autocrine/paracrine way on
