Effect of the structural modification of Candesartan with Zinc on hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Augusto Martins Lima, Valeria Romina Martinez

Hypertension is the most common cause of left ventricular hypertrophy, contributing to heart failure progression. Candesartan (Cand) is an angiotensin receptor antagonist widely used for hypertension treatment. Structural modifications were previously perf ...

Mitochondrial Deacetylase Sirt3 Reduces Vascular Dysfunction and Hypertension While Sirt3 Depletion in Essential Hypertension Is Linked to Vascular Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Johan Auwerx

Rationale: Hypertension represents a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure and affects 30% of the adult population. Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to hypertension, but specific mechanisms are unclear. The mitochondri ...

Diminazene Protects Corpus Cavernosum Against Hypercholesterolemia-Induced Injury

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Mikaël Nils Sturny, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Younouss Faye

IntroductionAngiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a key enzyme of the renin angiotensin system, which breaks down angiotensin II and forms angiotensin-(1-7). In erectile tissues, it has been documented that angiotensin II contributes to the development ...

Diminazene enhances stability of atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE-deficient mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Maiia Bragina, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga

Angiotensin (Ang) II contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, while Ang-(1-7) has atheroprotective actions. Accordingly, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which breaks-down Aug 11 and forms Ang-(1-7), has been suggested as a target against ...

Role of the renin-angiotensin system on abdominal aortic aneurysms

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet

BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a complex degenerative disease, which leads to morbidity and mortality in a large portion of the elderly population. Current treatment options for AAA are quite limited as there is no proven indication for pharm ...

An Oral Formulation of Angiotensin-(1-7) Reverses Corpus Cavernosum Damages Induced by Hypercholesterolemia

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva

Introduction The renin angiotensin system plays a crucial role in erectile function. It has been shown that elevated angiotensin-II levels contribute to the development of erectile dysfunction (ED). Oppositely, angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-[1-7]) mediates penile ...

The Effect of Valsartan versus Non-RAAS Treatment on Autoregulation of Cerebral Blood Flow

Jean-Marc Vesin

Background: Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is a protective mechanism which maintains the steadiness of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) through a broad range of systemic blood pressure (BP). Acute hypertension has been shown to reduce the cerebrovascular adapta ...

The Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2/Angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas receptor axis: A potential target for treating thrombotic diseases

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva

Despite many therapeutic advances leading to increasingly effective drug treatments, thrombotic events (such as ischaemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction) still represent a major worldwide cause of morbidi ...
