Casein hydrolysate, prepared with Aspergillus oryzae protease, contains angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides, such as Val-Pro-Pro and Ile-Pro-Pro. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of casein hydrolysate on the blood pressure of

The mechanisms underlying cell and organ dysfunctions in hypertension are uncertain. The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) has elevated levels of unchecked degrading proteases compared to the control Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat. The extracellular proteases destroy membrane receptors

OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of antiretroviral regimens on blood pressure (BP). METHODS This retrospective study examined systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP) measurements among participants of a State of Hawaii Department of Health program from January 1995 to July 2001. The change in BP

BACKGROUND The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in HIV-infected patients increases with aging and duration of the disease. Hypertension, high cholesterol level obesity, diabetes, tobacco exposure, and use of alcohol are among the traditional risk factors that contribute to

The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) is modulated by membrane lipid composition. However, the effect of an in vivo change of membrane composition is unknown. We examined the effect of a 70-day enhanced cholesterol diet (ECD) on ENaC and renal Na(+) handling. Rats were fed a standard chow or one

Urinary prostasin: a possible biomarker for renal pressure natriuresis in black adolescents.

Prostasin is a membrane-bound/secretive serine protease interacting with aldosterone and the epithelial sodium channel in the kidney. We and others have previously proposed the concept of stress-induced pressure natriuresis (SIPN) where increased urinary sodium excretion (UNaV) is coupled with

Inhibition of Angiotensin converting enzyme I caused by autolysis of potato proteins by enzymatic activities confined to different parts of the potato tuber.

Autolysis of protein isolates from vascular bundle and inner tuber tissues of potato (Solanum tuberosum) enhanced the inhibition of the angiotensin converting enzyme I (ACE), a biochemical factor affecting blood pressure (hypertension). The physiological age of the tuber affected the strength of ACE

BACKGROUND Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A), is a protease which releases Insulin-like growth factor. The role of this factor is stimulation of cell mitosis, differentiation and trophoblastic invasion of deciduas. Identification of patients with low PAPP-A (under 0.4 MoM in the first
