Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of diabetic glomerulopathy by pharmacological amelioration of glomerular capillary hypertension.
TL;DR: Prevention of glomerular capillary hypertension in rats with diabetes mellitus effectively protects against the subsequent development ofglomerular structural injury and proteinuria, further supporting the view that hemodynamic rather than metabolic factors predominate in the pathogenesis of diabetic glomerulopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis. A new model of arterial hypertension.
TL;DR: It is concluded that chronic nitric oxide blockade may constitute a new model of severe arterial hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predominance of hemodynamic rather than metabolic factors in the pathogenesis of diabetic glomerulopathy.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the metabolic disorder seen in stable, moderately hyperglycemic diabetic rats does not lead to glomerulopathy as long as elevations in glomerular pressures and flows are prevented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of diabetic microangiopathy. The hemodynamic view
Roberto Zatz,Barry M. Brenner +1 more
TL;DR: Multiple factors, including altered levels of vasoactive substances, altered vasomotor responsiveness, chronic plasma volume expansion, and tissue hypoxia, contribute to a state of generalized microvascular vasodilatation in early insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, with the consequent elevation in capillary pressures and flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Nitric Oxide Inhibition Model Six Years On
Roberto Zatz,Christine Baylis +1 more
TL;DR: This review is centered on the cardiovascular and particularly the renal functional and structural consequences of chronic pharmacologic NO inhibition by l-arginine analogues, and devoted special attention to the mechanisms of hypertension and organ injury that occur under these circumstances.
