Sex differences in sympathetic activity and vascular stiffness in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
CONCLUSIONS: Males with CKD have higher resting sympathetic activity compared to females with CKD. However, there was no difference in vascular stiffness between sexes. There was no correlation between resting MSNA and cfPWV, suggesting that non-neural mechanisms may play a greater role in the progression of vascular stiffness in CKD, particularly in females.PMID:38385174 | DOI:10.1152/ajprenal.00308.2023 (Source: Am J Physiol Renal P...)

Cardiac function in CKD has not been studied in the absence of arterial disease. In an Alport syndrome model bred not to have conduit arterial disease, mice at 225 days of life (dol) had CKD equivalent to human stage 4-5 CKD. PTH and FGF23 levels were one log order elevated, circulating sclerostin was elevated, and renal activin A was strongly induced. Aortic Ca levels were not increased and VSMC transdifferentiation was absent. The CKD mice...

Human Soluble Prorenin Receptor Expressed in Mouse Renal Collecting Duct Show Sex-Specific Effect on Cardiorenal Function
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2024 Feb 22. doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00375.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSoluble prorenin receptor (sPRR), a component of the renin angiotensin system (RAS), has been identified as a plasma biomarker for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in humans. Despite studies showing that sPRR in kidney is produced by renal collecting duct (CD) tubular cells, its biological actions modulating cardiorenal function remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to create a new murine model to investigate how expressing human sPRR (HsPRR) in CD influence the intrarenal RAS status and renal hemodynamic...
