The French drug surveillance (pharmacovigilance) system is based on a network of 31 regional centres which receive adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports from health professionals and are… (More)
We have previously suggested that the recognition of a cross-reactive epitope on the 5-HT4 receptor and the 52-kDa SSA/Ro protein by serotonin-antagonizing autoantibodies could explain the… (More)
The signal transduction pathways involved in kinin B(2) receptor-related vasodilation were investigated in rat isolated perfused kidneys. During prostaglandin F(2alpha) or KCl-induced constriction,… (More)
We recently showed that brain mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) are involved in blood pressure and kidney function control in normotensive Wistar rats. We now assessed the involvement of brain MRs in… (More)
To clarify the paradox of a decrease in urine and sodium excretion occurring along with the elimination of peripheral edema when patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are treated with nasal… (More)
The renal vascular effects of [Arg8]vasopressin (vasopressin) were investigated in the isolated perfused rat kidney. Vasopressin (0.01-3 nM) elicited a dose-dependent vasoconstriction in kidneys from… (More)
