Journal ArticleDOI
Adrenomedullin: a protective factor for blood vessels.
TL;DR: A body of evidence suggests that AM participates in the mechanism against progression of vascular damage and remodeling, thereby alleviating the ischemia of tissues and organs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Levels of Adrenomedullin and Atrial and Brain Natriuretic Peptides in the General Population: Their Relations to Age and Pulse Pressure
Johji Kato,Kazuo Kitamura,Tomohiko Uemura,Kenji Kuwasako,Toshihiro Kita,Kenji Kangawa,Tanenao Eto +6 more
TL;DR: The plasma levels of AM, ANP and BNP all increased in association with aging, and those of ANPand BNP increased in associations with PP, suggesting possible relationships between the plasma levels and age-related changes in the cardiovascular system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma adrenomedullin and natriuretic peptides in patients with essential or malignant hypertension.
Johji Kato,Kazuo Kitamura,Eizaburo Matsui,Miho Tanaka,Yuko Ishizaka,Toshihiro Kita,Kenji Kangawa,Tanenao Eto +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that AM may participate, along with ANP and BNP, in mechanisms counteracting a further elevation of blood pressure in patients with EHT and MHT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marked increase of guanylin secretion in response to salt loading in the rat small intestine
TL;DR: A new and reliable RIA system is established for the stable derivatives from both guanylin and uroguanylin that have potential roles in the regulation of water and salt metabolism in the small intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased expression of interleukin-10 in unstable plaque obtained by directional coronary atherectomy
Kensaku Nishihira,Takuroh Imamura,Atsushi Yamashita,Kinta Hatakeyama,Yoshisato Shibata,Yoshitatsu Nagatomo,Haruhiko Date,Toshihiro Kita,Tanenao Eto,Yujiro Asada +9 more
TL;DR: IL-10 was more frequently expressed in specimens from patients with unstable angina, a finding that might contribute to a better understanding of plaque instability.
