Cardiovascular and renal diseases are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Brazil and worldwide. Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for diseases such as myocardial infarction, renal failure and heart failure. It is interesting that these pathophysiological conditions have in common the increase of sympathetic vasomotor activity and curiously, the greater the seve…
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide and the main contributors to CKD progression are arterial hypertension (AH) and diabetes. Despite advances in pharmacological treatments with antihypertensive and anti-diabetic drugs, the alarming number of patients with nephropathy shows the need for new therapeutic strategies. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) has…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by progressive damage and irreversible loss of renal function. The main causes of CKD are cardiovascular diseases, mainly arterial hypertension (AH). Despite advances in pharmacological treatments with antihypertensives and surgical techniques, the increasing number of patients with CKD indicates the need for new therapeutic strategies. Clinic…
It is known that oxidative stress and increased renal sympathetic nerve activity (rSNA) play an important role in arterial hypertension (AH). Previous studies in our laboratory showed that the angiotensin II (Ang II) - Ang II type 1 receptor (AT-1) -NADPH oxidase axis leads to increased oxidative stress in the kidneys and sympathetic premotor brain regions in an experimental model of reno…
Studies have shown the strong neurogenic component in the development of arterial hypertension (AH) in humans and experimental models. Renal denervation in patients with resistant AH is an effective strategy to control blood pressure (BP) which has been related to the interruption of afferent renal nerves. However, the mechanisms related to this response remain to be elucidated. Our previ…
