Adrenomedullin Enhances Cell Proliferation and Deoxyribonucleic Acid Synthesis in Rat Adrenal Zona Glomerulosa: Receptor Subtype Involved and Signaling Mechanism

TL;DR: Findings indicate that ADM stimulates cell proliferation in the rat ZG, through CGRP-(8-37)- and ADM-(22-52)-sensitive receptors, and the mitogenic effect of ADM is mediated by activation of the TK-MAPK cascade, without any involvement of the adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A-, phospholipase C/ protein kinase C-, and COX- or lipoxygenase-dependent signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Endogenous Mu-Opioid Receptor Agonists Endomorphins 1 and 2 Have Novel Hypotensive Activity in the Rabbit

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endomorphins 1 and 2 have significant naloxone-sensitive, vasodepressor activity in the rabbit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sildenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor, in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

TL;DR: The underlying basic science supporting the use of sildenafil, as well as human evidence supporting the critical role of this drug in therapy of patients with pulmonary hypertension, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered high-energy phosphate metabolism predicts contractile dysfunction and subsequent ventricular remodeling in pressure-overload hypertrophy mice.

TL;DR: Cardiac PCr/ATP correlated inversely with end-systolic volume and directly with EF at 6 wk but not at 3 wk, suggesting a role of sustained energetic abnormalities in evolving chamber dysfunction and remodeling.
