Plasma concentrations of endothelin in patients with abnormal vascular reactivity. Effects of ergometric exercise and acute saline loading.
We measured circulating concentrations of endothelin, a recently discovered vasoconstrictor peptide produced by vascular endothelial cells, in healthy subjects and in patients with abnormal vascular… Expand

Endothelin synthesis by porcine inner medullary collecting duct cells. Effects of hormonal and osmotic stimuli.
Previously, we have shown in porcine inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells that endothelin (ET), probably in an autocrine fashion, suppresses arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced synthesis of… Expand

Early Endothelin-A Receptor Blockade Decreases Blood Pressure and Ameliorates End-Organ Damage in Homozygous Ren-2 Rats
We have recently found that nonselective endothelin ETA/ETB receptor blockade markedly improves survival rate and ameliorates end-organ damage in male homozygous rats transgenic (TGR) for the mouse… Expand

Relative Roles of Nitric Oxide, Prostanoids and Angiotensin II in the Regulation of Canine Glomerular Hemodynamics
Glomerular hemodynamics are controlled by a variety of physical, nervous and hormonal factors including the potent vasoconstrictors, angiotensin (ANG) II and endothelin-1 (ET-1), and the vasodilator… Expand

Late-Onset Endothelin-A Receptor Blockade Reduces Podocyte Injury in Homozygous Ren-2 Rats Despite Severe Hypertension
We have recently found in male homozygous hypertensive Ren-2 transgenic rats (TGRs) fed a high-salt diet that early onset selective endothelin (ET) A (ETA) or nonselective ETA/ET B (ETB) receptor… Expand

The renal endothelin system in the Prague hypertensive rat, a new model of spontaneous hypertension.
In a new model of spontaneous hypertension, namely the Prague hypertensive rat (PHR), hypertension is transferred with a kidney transplanted from the PHR to its normotensive counterpart (PNR) by an… Expand

Relationship of plasma concentrations of human atrial natriuretic peptide to renal function and blood pressure in patients with progressive chronic renal failure.
Recent experimental and clinical findings indicate that immunoreactive human Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (alpha-hANP) is involved in the regulation of blood volume and arterial blood pressure (BP).… Expand

Influence of asimadoline, a new kappa-opioid receptor agonist, on tubular water absorption and vasopressin secretion in man.
AIMS The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of asimadoline, a new kappa-opioid agonist, on renal function and on hormones related to body fluid balance as well as its tolerability in… Expand

Chronic endothelin receptor blockade reduces end-organ damage independently of blood pressure effects in salt-loaded heterozygous Ren-2 transgenic rats.
The present study was performed to evaluate the role of an interaction between the endothelin (ET) and the renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) in the development and maintenance of hypertension and in… Expand

Endothelin synthesis and receptors in porcine kidney.
As insufficient information on the endothelin (ET) system in the porcine kidney is available at present, we investigated renal ET-1 synthesis and ET receptors in this species. Because ET specifically… Expand
