Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic medical state and a major determining factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases. Both genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to hypertensive conditions among individuals. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a major genetic target for the anti-hypertension approach.

BACKGROUND Arterial hypertension in pediatric patients often presents complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The diagnosis of hypertension in children is based on different guidelines than in adults, with arterial hypertension in children defined as systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure values at or above the 95th percentile for age, sex, and height. Unlike adult populations, it is predominantly secondary in etiology, with conditions such as renovascular hypertension as common causes.

Poor blood pressure control in treated patients with hypertension is an important topic in the field of hypertension, and an unmet need for new therapeutic drugs remains. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), a key signal transduction enzyme responsible for vasodilation, has attracted increasing interest as a therapeutic target in various cardiovascular diseases. Two different sGC agonists, sGC stimulators and activators, can increase its enzymatic activity in reduced and oxidized/apo forms, respectively.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a prevalent global renal illness and one of the main causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). FGF21 has been shown to ameliorate diabetic nephropathy, and in addition FGF-21-treated mice impeded mitogenicity, whereas it is unclear whether FGF21 can influence DN progression by regulating the cell cycle in diabetic nephropathy.
Methods: In order to create a diabetic model, STZ injections were given to C57BL/6J mice for this investigation.

Objective: Individuals who have metabolically healthy overweight/obesity (MHOO) do not have cardiometabolic complications despite an elevated BMI. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation and salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) are cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks, which are increased in individuals with higher BMI values. Little is known about the differences in RAAS activation and SSBP between MHOO and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUOO) phenotypes.
