Adrenomedullin and cardiovascular diseases
The cardiovascular system is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, nitric oxide (NO) and other factors including neuropeptides. Research in neurohumoral factors has led to the development of many cardiovascular drugs. Adrenomedullin (ADM), initially isolated from the adrenal gland, has diverse physiological and pathophysiological functions in the c...
متن کاملAdrenomedullin, an endogenous peptide, counteracts cardiovascular damage.
BACKGROUND Adrenomedullin (AM), a potent vasodilator peptide, is produced by posttranslational splicing of pro-adrenomedullin together with proadrenomedullin N-terminal 20 peptide (PAMP), another hypotensive peptide. Although both AM and PAMP have the potential not only to decrease blood pressure but also to protect organs from damage, there is no direct evidence for their individual physiologi...
متن کاملZooplankton and their protective effects on cardiovascular diseases
In the world-wide cardiovascular diseases are the most common. And mortallities are high. Many modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases have been identified. One of them is diets. In diet polyunsaturated fatty acids such omega-3 and omega-6 have protective effects on cardiovascular health. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are essentials for humans, have taken from foods...
متن کاملPlasma adrenomedullin in various diseases and exercise-induced change in adrenomedullin in healthy subjects.
Adrenomedullin is a novel hypotensive peptide recently discovered in human pheochromocytoma. In the present study, we measured the plasma immunoreactive adrenomedullin of healthy subjects and patients with various diseases. Immunoreactive adrenomedullin was found to circulate in blood of the healthy subjects at a considerable concentration (3.3 +/- 0.3 fmol/ml). Plasma adrenomedullin was signif...
متن کاملObesity and Cardiovascular Diseases:
The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity is relevant not only in developed nations but also recently, in developing countries of Africa. Given that obesity is associated with morbidity and mortality from several health conditions including cardiovascular diseases this has attracted growing concern. In addition, scientific evidence is accumulating regarding the links between diet, obe...
