Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Martha Franco"
- Martha Franco's recent research focuses on innovative therapeutic strategies to manage hypertension, particularly through the exploration of purinergic receptors and their interaction with angiotensin II in regulating renal function, which has implications for chronic renal failure in hypertensive patients.
- Her studies investigate the effects of various compounds, such as purinergic receptor antagonists and cytidine-5-diphosphocholine, on cardiovascular and renal health, with findings suggesting potential cytoprotective roles that could mitigate organ damage during cardiovascular events like cardiogenic shock.
- Franco's work also delves into sphingolipid metabolism and its relationship to cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases, identifying alterations in sphingolipid profiles as potential biomarkers for early renal damage and exploring the effects of treatments such as empagliflozin on sphingolipid catabolism.
