Background Microglial mediated neuroinflammation in the rostral ventrolateral medulla
(RVLM) plays roles in the etiology of stress-induced hypertension (SIH). It was reported that …

Abstract Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protects against organ damage in
hypertension and cardiovascular diseases by counter regulating the renin-angiotensin …

Maternal protein malnutrition during the critical stages of development (pregnancy, lactation
and first infancy) can lead to adult hypertension. Studies have shown that renal and …

Following the concerns triggered by the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19
pandemic with its high mortality rate, mainly in older people with one or more cardiovascular …

Increased microglial activation and neuroinflammation within autonomic brain regions such
as the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) have been implicated in stress-induced …

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in
gallbladder cancer (GBC) and the therapeutic potential of angiotensin receptor blocker in …

Objective: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and renal sympathetic nerve system (RSNS)
are involved in the development of hypertension. The present study is designed to explore …

Hypertension is a silent and multifactorial disease. Over two centuries ago, the first device to
record blood pressure was developed, making it possible to determine normotension and to …

Excessive sodium intake is known to increase the risk for hypertension, heart disease, and
stroke. Individuals who are more susceptible to the effects of high salt are at higher risk for …

Objective To explore whether chronic stress induces imbalance of glucose homeostasis,
and to investigate the possible involvement of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Methods …
