Advanced Glycation End-Product Cross-Link Breakers

TL;DR: Alagebrium is the first drug in a new class of thiazolium therapeutic agents that break established AGE cross-links between proteins and was effective in improving cardiac function and uncontrolled systolic blood pressure, particularly in more severely affected patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stroke outcomes among participants randomized to chlorthalidone, amlodipine or lisinopril in ALLHAT

TL;DR: The AllHAT trial as mentioned in this paper compared cardiovascular disease outcomes in participants initially treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (lisinopril), a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine), or a thiazide-type diuretic (chlorthalidone), for a total follow-up of 8-13 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute Saline Infusion Decreases Norepinephrine Release in the Anterior Hypothalamic Area

TL;DR: A small elevation in plasma Na+ can reduce the release of norepinephrine in the anterior hypothalamic area and contribute to the rise in arterial pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats ingesting a high NaCl diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Renal Catecholamines and α2-Adrenergic Receptors in Salt-Related and Genetic Hypertension

Ralph Dawson, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1987 - 
TL;DR: These studies demonstrated a relationship between renal NE content and renal α2-adrenergic receptors and the implications of this relationship and other salt-related changes in renal catecholamine metabolism were discussed as they pertained to hypertension and renal function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlations of plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration with ambulatory blood pressure responses to nebivolol and valsartan, alone and in combination, in hypertension

Thomas D. Giles, +125 more
TL;DR: The effects of this treatment on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in a substudy are reported, with baseline ln(aldosterone) correlated with 24-hour systolic and diastolic BP reductions following combination treatment only.
