In the paper, the researchers explored the effects of salt loading in young normotensives on vascular endothelial function, echocardiographic left ventricular diastolic function, and electrocardiographic QT dispersion. Sixteen healthy normotensive male volunteers were randomized in a double-blind crossover fashion to 5-day treatment periods with either placebo or salt tablets (200 mmol/d of sodium) separated by a 2-week washout period

“Internalized pain receptors are freed up by a peptidase for another round of agony, Padilla et al. reveal.
Peptidases on the cell surface cleave and thereby activate or inactivate small, extracellular peptides such as angiotensin. The enzymes also reside in internal compartments called endosomes, where their action is less apparent.
The new work shows that a peptidase called ECE-1 needs the low pH of the endosome to cleave several of its targets. One such peptide target was CGRP, which is released by cells during inflammation

New research published in the online open access journal, BMC Medical Genetics, pinpoints a number of gene-drug interactions that could allow medication to be tailored to individual patients based on their genetics.
Today's drugs target the body's systems for regulating blood pressure, so understanding individuals' differing responses to hypertensive drugs based on genetic and environmental factors is particularly worthwhile to create tailored drug regimens.
