Formation of tubulin/Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (NKA) complex in erythrocytes of hypertensive subjects results in a 50% reduction in NKA activity. We demonstrate here that detyrosinated tubulin, which is increased in hypertensive erythrocytes membranes, enhances the inhibitory effect of acetylated tubulin on NKA activity. Moreover, we report a reduced content and activity of the enzyme tubulin tyrosine ligase in erythrocytes of hypertensive subjects. Such alterations are related to changes in erythrocyte deformability. Our findings indicate that the detyrosination/tyrosination cycle of tubulin is important in regulation of NKA activity, and that abnormalities in this cycle are involved in hypertension development.

: Invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (iCPET) provides valuable insight into dyspnea in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease, in part through an increased relationship of minute ventilation to CO production (V/VCO). Obesity lowers the V/VCO in patients without cardiopulmonary disease; however, whether this holds true in obese subjects with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) is unknown. : Report on the iCPET findings of patients with CTEPH and CTEPD and investigate the relationship between obesity and gas exchange parameters, especially V/VCO in these patients.

The gut microbiota plays a fundamental role in the host's energy metabolism and the development of metabolic diseases such as arterial hypertension, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis. Our study aimed to investigate the potential role of the gut microbiota in arterial hypertension among individuals of the Kazakh population without insulin resistance. 16S rRNA gene sequencing of faecal samples from 197 Kazakh subjects was performed.

Background: This study examines genetic variations in the systemic oxygen transport cascade during exhaustive exercise in physically trained tactical athletes. Research goal: To update the information on the distribution of influence of eleven polymorphisms in ten genes, namely ACE (rs1799752), AGT (rs699), MCT1 (rs1049434), HIF1A (rs11549465), COMT (rs4680), CKM (rs8111989), TNC (rs2104772), PTK2 (rs7460 and rs7843014), ACTN3 (rs1815739), and MSTN (rs1805086)-on the connected steps of oxygen transport during aerobic muscle work.
Methods: 251 young, healthy tactical athletes (including 12 females) with a systematic physical training history underwent exercise tests, including standardized endurance running with a 12.
