Endothelin is a recently discovered, powerful, vascular, endothelial vasoconstrictor, which may produce a salt sensitive rise in blood pressure. (loss of vasoconstriction). It includes a wealth of information applicable to researchers and practicing neurosurgeons. Guanadrel is a postganglionic adrenergic blocking agent. The pathogenesis of essential hypertension is multifactorial and highly complex. Angiotensin II receptor blockers are drugs indicated for hypertension, diabetic nephropathy and Histamine is a ubiquitous messenger molecule released from mast cells, enterochromaffin-like cells, and neurons. Endothelin acts as a bronchoconstrictor as well as a pulmonary and coronary vasoconstrictor, which may contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular collapse. The endothelium synthesizes endothelins, the most powerful vasoconstrictors. ET B2 mediates vasoconstriction; ET C has yet no clearly defined function. Mechanism of action. Depression of the vasomotor center of the brain can cause the loss of vasomotor tone of blood vessels, resulting in massive dilatation of veins. Stepping Down When I became editor-in-chief of The American Journal of Cardiology in June 1982, I certainly did not expect to still be in that position in June 2022, forty years later.More. These include activation of sympathetic nerves and the renin-angiotensin system, and increased release of antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and atrial natriuretic peptide.The net effect of these neurohumoral responses is to produce arterial vasoconstriction (to help maintain arterial pressure), venous constriction (to Dr. Tom Forbes Editor-in-Chief. S-Nitrosylation-Mediated Reduction of Ca V 1.2 Surface Expression and Open Probability Underlies Attenuated Vasoconstriction Induced by Nitric Oxide. Vascular endothelium Endothelin. Because of these, blood vessels are narrowed which causes higher flow rates and thus pressure in the vasculature. Transforming protein RhoA, also known as Ras homolog family member A (RhoA), is a small GTPase protein in the Rho family of GTPases that in humans is encoded by the RHOA gene. x Primary focal hyperhidrosis (PFH) is a disorder characterized by regional sweating exceeding the amount required for thermoregulation [16]. Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.The process is the opposite of vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels.The process is particularly important in controlling hemorrhage and reducing acute blood loss. Cirrhosis is characterized by fibrosis and nodule formation of the liver, secondary to a chronic injury, which leads to alteration of the normal lobular organization of the liver. ET B1 mediates vasodilation, When endothelin binds to ET B1 receptors, this leads to the release of nitric oxide (also called endothelium-derived relaxing factor), natriuresis and diuresis (the production and elimination of urine) and mechanisms that lower blood pressure. The most common fatal complication of cirrhosis is variceal rupture; the severity of liver disease These may contribute along with muscle vasoconstriction, central rigidity, and seizures to the rhabdomyolysis that sometimes occurs in more sick patients. Under the editorial leadership of Dr. Pierre Ronco (Paris, France), KI is one of the most cited journals in nephrology and widely regarded as the world's premier journal on the development and consequences of kidney disease.

Our Impact Factor has been continuously increasing over the past eleven years that I have been serving at the helm, and is now at 13.934, placing the journal amongst the top 4% of endocrinology, diabetes, and The Journal of the Neurological Sciences provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. Antihypertensive therapy seeks to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction.Evidence suggests that reduction of the blood pressure by 5 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 34% and of ischaemic heart disease by 21%, and can Because of these, blood vessels are narrowed which causes higher flow rates and thus pressure in the vasculature. 1-blockers act on 1-adrenoceptors; 2-blockers act on 2-adrenoceptors; When the term "alpha blocker" is used without further qualification, it can refer to an 1 blocker, an 2 blocker, a nonselective blocker (both 1 and 2 activity), or an blocker with some activity. Endothelin-1 is a peptide (comprising 21 amino acids) that is produced in endothelial cells. Angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) is the best characterized angiotensin receptor.It is encoded in humans by the AGTR1 gene.AT1 has vasopressor effects and regulates aldosterone secretion. High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema that occurs in otherwise healthy people at altitudes typically above 2,500 meters (8,200 ft). Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor. S-Nitrosylation-Mediated Reduction of Ca V 1.2 Surface Expression and Open Probability Underlies Attenuated Vasoconstriction Induced by Nitric Oxide. Neurosurgery, the official journal of the CNS, publishes top research on clinical and experimental neurosurgery covering the latest developments in science, technology, and medicine.The journal attracts contributions from the most respected authorities in the field. How to Submit. An overview . From the Editor. Function. Thromboxane and endothelin-1 are believed to have increased activity which causes enhanced vasoconstriction while prostacyclin and nitric oxide which both function as vasodilators, have decreased efficiency. A vasoactive substance is an endogenous agent or pharmaceutical drug that has the effect of either increasing or decreasing blood pressure and/or heart rate through its vasoactivity, that is, vascular activity (effect on blood vessels).By adjusting vascular compliance and vascular resistance, typically through vasodilation and vasoconstriction, it helps the body's homeostatic A receptor antagonist is a type of receptor ligand or drug that blocks or dampens a biological response by binding to and blocking a receptor rather than activating it like an agonist.Antagonist drugs interfere in the natural operation of receptor proteins. There are three main classes of imidazoline receptor: I 1 is involved in inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system to lower blood pressure, I 2 has as yet uncertain functions but is implicated in several psychiatric conditions, and I 3 regulates insulin secretion. However, cases have also been reported between 1,5002,500 metres or 4,9008,200 feet in more vulnerable subjects. giving rise to vasoconstriction. (MRA) and transcranial Doppler in human volunteers, and occurs in large and medium sized arteries, probably mediated by endothelin 1. Angiotensin II receptor blockers are drugs indicated for hypertension, diabetic nephropathy and Angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) is the best characterized angiotensin receptor.It is encoded in humans by the AGTR1 gene.AT1 has vasopressor effects and regulates aldosterone secretion. The kidney is both the contributing and the target organ of the hypertensive processes, [] and the disease involves the interaction of multiple organ systems and numerous mechanisms of independent or interdependent pathways. Thromboxane and endothelin-1 are believed to have increased activity which causes enhanced vasoconstriction while prostacyclin and nitric oxide which both function as vasodilators, have decreased efficiency. Dear Friends and Colleagues, As Editor-in-Chief of Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental, I'm happy to share great news about the journal. Imidazoline receptors are the primary receptors on which clonidine and other imidazolines act. It also enhances calcium influx and releases endothelin, the strongest vasoconstrictor peptide yet identified in humans. Endothelin, and angiotensin are the vasoconstrictors of smooth muscles while nitric oxide and prostacyclin are vasodilators of the smooth muscles. People with primary Raynauds have been found to have high levels of this protein. It acts on the endothelin receptors ETA and ETB in various cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, leading to vasoconstriction, hypertrophy, proliferation, inflammation, and fibrosis. Secretion of endothelin-1 from the vascular endothelium signals vasoconstriction and influences local cellular growth and survival. AJOG's Editors have active research programs and, on occasion, publish work in the Journal. Dysmenorrhea is a Greek term for painful monthly bleeding.[1] Dysmenorrhea can be classified as primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. The generation of, or sensitivity to, endothelin-1 is no greater in hypertensive than it is in normotensive subjects. Antihypertensives are a class of drugs that are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). The primary cause of portal hypertension in cirrhosis is an increase in intrahepatic vascular resistance. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system. Dear Readers, Contributors, Editorial Board, Editorial staff and Publishing team members, and have been successfully used to treat the acute pulmonary vasoconstriction of AFE. Esophageal varices are dilated submucosal distal esophageal veins connecting the portal and systemic circulations. It may develop in multiple regions such as axillae, palms, soles and craniofacial [13] and usually appears during childhood with an estimated prevalence of 3% [2, 5]. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inactivates bradykinin, a vasodilator. Neurohumoral responses occur during heart failure. Uptake of guanadrel and storage in sympathetic neurons occurs via the norepinephrine pump; guanadrel slowly displaces norepinephrine from its storage in nerve endings and thereby blocks the release of norepinephrine normally produced by nerve stimulation. [2] In contrast, secondary dysmenorrhea is usually associated with other In humans, the circulatory system is different before and after birth. Factors that play an important role in the Angiotensin II causes coronary vasoconstriction independent of sympathetic innervation. Hypercoagulability. This happens due to portal hypertension (most commonly a result of cirrhosis), resistance to portal blood flow, and increased portal venous blood inflow. They are sometimes called blockers; examples include alpha blockers, beta blockers, and calcium channel blockers. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system. An endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) is a drug that blocks endothelin receptors.. Three main kinds of ERAs exist: selective ET A receptor antagonists (sitaxentan, ambrisentan, atrasentan, BQ-123, zibotentan, edonentan), which affect endothelin A receptors. While the effects of RhoA activity are not all well known, it is primarily associated with cytoskeleton regulation, mostly actin stress fibers formation and actomyosin contractility. The reduction in neurotransmitter Kidney International (KI) is the official journal of the International Society of Nephrology. Endothelin-1 is the most powerful endogenous chemical affecting vascular tone across organ systems. Various insults can injure the liver, including viral infections, toxins, hereditary conditions, or autoimmune processes. Guanethidine is an antihypertensive drug that reduces the release of catecholamines, such as norepinephrine.Guanethidine is transported across the sympathetic nerve membrane by the same mechanism that transports norepinephrine itself (NET, JNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Its various actions are mediated by histamine receptors H 1, H 2, H 3 and H 4.The histamine receptor H 2 belongs to the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors.It is an integral membrane protein and stimulates gastric acid secretion. Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels. From the Editor in Chief (interim), Subhash Banerjee, MD. Dr. Thomas L.
