Non-coding RNAs and Hypertension–Unveiling Unexpected Mechanisms of Hypertension by the Dark Matter of the Genome
More LessHypertension is a major risk factor of cardiovascular diseases and a most important health problem in developed countries. Investigations on pathophysiology of hypertension have been based on gene products from coding region that occupies only about 1% of total genome region. On the other hand, non-coding region that occupies almost 99% of human genome has been regarded as “junk” for a long time and went u Read More

Nutrition and Physical Activity on Hypertension: Implication of Current Evidence and Guidelines
Authors: Iran Castro, Gustavo Waclawovsky and Aline MarcadentiHypertension (HTN) is the leading cause of worldwide mortality and is responsible for approximately 40% of deaths from cardiovascular disease, chronicle kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It is known that about 80% of all mortality from cardiovascular disorders could be prevented if a healthy diet and higher levels of physical activity were included am Read More

Ventricular and Vascular Stiffening in Aging and Hypertension
Authors: L. Faconti, R. M. Bruno, L. Ghiadoni, S. Taddei and A. VirdisThe assessment of arterial stiffness, a common feature of aging, exacerbated by pathological conditions like hypertension, has become an attractive tool for identifying structural and functional changes of the arteries even in an early stage of the atherosclerotic disease. Arterial stiffness has been recognized as an important physio-pathological determinant for the age-related rise in systolic blood pressure, demonstrating Read More

The Involvement of Uric Acid in the Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a common disorder of human pregnancy and a major cause of worldwide pregnancy-related maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress, angiogenic imbalance, placental ischemia and an inflammatory response have been proposed to play role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Hyperuricemia is a key biochemical feature in preeclampsia with elevated levels of uric acid being diagnos Read More

The Effects of Angiotensin II Signaling Blockade on Platelet Activity in Subjects with Hypertension
Authors: Nabeel Ahmed, Anoop Mansoor, Joban Sehmi, Keith Gomez and Amarjit SethiBackground: To investigate the effects of Angiotensin II receptor blockade (ARB) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition on platelet reactivity in patients with mild to moderate hypertension. PFA-100 evaluates platelet function (expressed in seconds as closure time, CT) in anti-coagulated whole blood in vitro at high shear rates. The test cartridge is impregnated with either collagen and epinephrine (Col/Epi) or c Read More

Designing and Evaluating Health Systems Level Hypertension Control Interventions for African-Americans: Lessons from a Pooled Analysis of Three Cluster Randomized Trials
Objectives: African-Americans (AAs) have a high prevalence of hypertension and their blood pressure (BP) control on treatment still lags behind other groups. In 2004, NHLBI funded five projects that aimed to evaluate clinically feasible interventions to effect changes in medical care delivery leading to an increased proportion of AA patients with controlled BP. Three of the groups performed a pooled analysis of trial results to d Read More

Oxidative Stress and Antioxidants in Hypertension–A Current Review
Authors: Nakshi Sinha and Pradeep Kumar DablaFree radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated by oxygen metabolism which is balanced by the rate of oxidant formation and the rate of oxidant elimination. Oxidative stress is a result of imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defence systems. Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and is considered as a leading cause of mort Read More

In vivo and in silico Investigation of Antidiabetic Activity of Fruit of Withania coagulans Dunal
This study evaluates the antidiabetic activities of methanolic extract of Withania coagulans Dunal (Ashutosh booti) fruit (WCFE) in poloxamer-407 induced type 2 diabetic Wistar rats. The electrochemical behaviour of WCFE with anodic peak of 1.19± 0.01V was found similar to standards used indicating that extract is antioxidant in nature. Unlike diabetic control rats, the WCFE treated diabetic rats presented significant ameliora Read More
