Background: Oxidative stress has been shown to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Paeonol, a major phenolic component extracted from Moutan Cortex, exerts a beneficial effect in preventing cardiovascular disease via reducing oxidative stress. The present study investigated the protective mechanism of paeonol against high blood pressure in spontaneous hypertension rats (SHRs).

Among prostanoids, prostaglandin E2 and its E-prostanoid receptor 4 receptor (EP4R) have been implicated in blood pressure control. Our previous study found that conditional deletion of EP4R from all tissues in adult mice exacerbates angiotensin II-dependent hypertension, suggesting a powerful effect of EP4R to resist blood pressure elevation.

Flash pulmonary oedema is a life-threatening complication of renal artery stenosis. We report a very rare complication in a patient with bilateral atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis who underwent unilateral renal artery angioplasty because of recurrent flash pulmonary oedema. Shortly after the procedure, she developed extreme polyuria (over 201 in the first 48 h) with massive natriuresis (>1000 mmol urinary sodium excretion in the first 24 h).

A major pathway in hypertension pathogenesis involves direct activation of ANG II type 1 (AT) receptors in the kidney, stimulating Na reabsorption. AT receptors in tubular epithelia control expression and stimulation of Na transporters and channels. Recently, we found reduced blood pressure and enhanced natriuresis in mice with cell-specific deletion of AT receptors in smooth muscle (SMKO mice).

Global salt intake averages >8 g/person per day, over twice the limit advocated by the American Heart Association. Dietary salt excess leads to hypertension, and this partly mediates its poor health outcomes. In ≈30% of people, the hypertensive response to salt is exaggerated.
