Ten subjects with hypertension received medroxalol, which blocks both alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors, has intrinsic sympathomimetic beta 2-agonist properties and is a direct vasodilator. Renal function tests consisting of inulin clearance and p-amino hippuric acid (PAH) clearance, plasma renin activity (PRA) in recumbent and upright postures, and aldosterone excretion rate were performed. After intravenous medroxalol, inulin clearance and PAH clearance rose, renal vascular resistance fell, recumbent PRA was unchanged, and the rise in PRA with upright posture was blunted. After 1 mo on oral medroxalol, blood pressure was controlled while inulin clearance, PAH clearance, and renal vascular resistance were unchanged. The rise in PRA with upright posture remained blunted. Urinary aldosterone excretion was unchanged after 1 mo on medroxalol.

Introduction: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation equations have not been extensively validated in the Indian population. Preliminary data showed that the widely used creatinine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) 2009 significantly overestimated GFR in Indians. Newer estimated GFR (eGFR) equations based on creatinine and cystatin C, omitting the race, have been recently proposed.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of essential oil (EO) supplementation on insulin sensitivity (IS) and the plasma metabolome in insulin dysregulated (ID) horses. Horses were blocked by degree of IS and assigned randomly to treatment: oral daily bolus (50 mL) of either a plant derived EO supplement or carrier (CON). Mares were housed in dry lots with access to grass hay and supplemented individually twice daily with a concentrate to meet nutrient requirements for mature horses.

The definition of hyperfiltration, the main pathogenesis in renal impairment in obesity and diabetes mellitus, is uncertain. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declines physiologically with aging, and there is inaccuracy in GFR in obesity due to body surface area (BSA) correction. Here, we defined hyperfiltration using GFR without BSA correction, but with inclusion of aging, and investigated hyperfiltration using this definition and absolute GFR > 125 mL/min.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), suggesting that the rare amino acids d-serine and d-asparagine can provide a more accurate assessment than traditional urine collection methods.
- A cross-sectional analysis involving 209 kidney transplant donors and recipients utilized urine levels of these amino acids to establish an equation for estimating urine volume (eUV), which helped correct GFR measurements.
- Results showed that d-serine and d-asparagine clearances had less bias compared to creatinine, highlighting their potential for improving GFR estimations and urine volume assessments.

Background: Rhinoviruses (RV) are the major cause of common colds in healthy individuals and are associated with acute exacerbations in patients with chronic lung diseases. Yet, no vaccines or effective treatment against RV are available. This study investigated the effect of Euphorbium compositum SN (ECSN6), a multicomponent, multitarget medication made from natural ingredients, on the mucosal barrier network during RV infection.
