Journal ArticleDOI
Adrenomedullin: a novel hypotensive peptide isolated from human pheochromocytoma.
Kazuo Kitamura,Kenji Kangawa,Mari Kawamoto,Yoshinari Ichiki,Shigeru Nakamura,Hisayuki Matsuo,Tanenao Eto +6 more
TL;DR: Occurrence of adrenomedullin indicates the possible existence of a novel system for circulation control and suggests that adrenomed Mullin is a new hormone participating in blood pressure control.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The story of the life and times of Toshihiko Umemura and his family in the years leading up to and including his death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and characterization of cDNA encoding a precursor for human adrenomedullin.
TL;DR: By RNA blot analysis, human adrenomedullin mRNA was found to be highly expressed in several tissues including adrenal medulla, ventricle, lung and kidney as well as pheochromocytoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and characterization of immunoreactive adrenomedullin in human tissue and plasma
TL;DR: By analysis with reverse‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with the radioimmunoassay, most immunoreactive adrenomedullin in the adrenal medulla, atrium and lung was found to be adrenamedullin(1–52)NH2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial cells actively synthesize and secrete adrenomedullin
S. Sugo,Naoto Minamino,Kenji Kangawa,Kaoru Miyamoto,Kazuo Kitamura,Junichiro Sakata,Tanenao Eto,Hisayuki Matsuo +7 more
TL;DR: Active production of adrenomedullin in cultured vascular endothelial cells (ECs) is demonstrated and AM secreted from ECs is deduced to act directly on VSMCs, regulating vascular tone.
