AI Article Synopsis
- * After 6 weeks of swimming, the hypertension-induced changes in enzyme activities and blood pressure were prevented, and exercise reduced the levels of certain inflammatory markers in the rats.
- * The results indicate that moderate aerobic exercise can help manage inflammation related to hypertension by influencing purinergic signaling pathways.
Article Abstract
Background And Method: Hypertension is accompanied by inflammatory process and purinergic system has been recognized as having an important role in modulating immune functions. Physical training is being considered one of the major lifestyle changes that contributes to the cardiovascular health as well as has an important role in regulating purinergic system. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic swimming training on lymphocytic purinergic system enzymes activities related to inflammatory process, as well as in lipid profile and classic inflammatory markers in rats that developed hypertension in response to the oral administration of N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME).
Results: After 6 weeks of training, lymphocytes and serum were separated to be analysed. L-NAME-treated group displayed an increase in SBP as well as in ecto-NTPDase and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activities (P < 0.05). Six weeks of swimming training were able to prevent these alterations and keep the blood pressure and enzymes activities in the same levels of control group. Exercise per se was associated with a decrease in the expression of ecto-NTPDase1 in lymphocytes (-23.4%). Exercise was also efficient in preventing the rise in classic inflammatory markers observed in L-NAME group.
Conclusion: These findings highlight the link between purinergic signalling and inflammatory process and suggest a novel mechanism in which moderate aerobic exercise possesses the potential to attenuate inflammation caused by hypertension.

Aims: To answer the question of whether the bladder itself can to any extent control or modulate the initiation of voiding.
Methods: This subject was discussed at the International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society (ICI-RS) 2024 conference in Bristol, UK in a proposal session.
Results: Cells in the bladder wall sense the local environment via a diverse array of ion channels and receptors which together provide input to motor-sensory and signal transduction mechanisms.

ENPP1/CD203a is a membrane-bound ectonucleotidase capable of hydrolyzing ATP, cGAMP and other substrates. Its enzymatic activity plays an important role in the balance of extracellular adenine nucleotides and the modulation of purinergic signaling, in soft tissue calcification, and in the regulation of the cGAS/STING pathway. However, a detailed analysis of ENPP1 surface expression on human immune cells has not been performed.

Patients receiving cranial radiation therapy experience tissue damage and cognitive deficits that severely decrease their quality of life. Experiments in rodent models show that these adverse neurological effects are in part due to functional changes in microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system. Increasing evidence suggests that experimental manipulation of microglial signaling can regulate radiation-induced changes in the brain and behavior.

Background: Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are poorly understood disorders characterised by diffuse damage to the lung parenchyma, with inflammation and fibrosis. Some manifest a progressive fibrotic phenotype with high fatality and limited treatment options, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Summary: The degree to which inflammation plays a role in fibrosis progression is unknown.
