Between Inflammation and Autophagy: The Role of Leptin-Adiponectin Axis in Cardiac Remodeling
( Dove Medical Press , 2021 , Article Review)Cardiac remodeling is the process by which the heart adapts to stressful stimuli, such as hypertension and ischemia/reperfusion; it ultimately leads to heart failure upon long- term exposure. Autophagy, a cellular catabolic ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Adiponectin-Induced Attenuation of Mechanical Stretch-Mediated Vascular Remodeling
( hindawi , 2020 , Article)Hypertension induces vascular hypertrophy, which changes blood vessels structurally and functionally, leading to reduced tissue perfusion and further hypertension. It is also associated with dysregulated levels of the ... -
Obesity-induced changes in kidney mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum in the presence or absence of leptin
( American Physiological Society , 2015 , Article)We investigated obesity-induced changes in kidney lipid accumulation, mitochondrial function, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the absence of hypertension, and the potential role of leptin in modulating these ...
