The hypertensive mechanisms are not clearly defined. We hypothesized that glucocorticoid excess would induce salt-sensitivity, reflecting an impaired pressure-natriuresis response and abnormal salt handling by the kidney.METHODSWe modeled Cushing syndrome in male C57BL/6J mice with prolonged adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) infusion and measured blood pressure on a control diet and following high-salt intake. In a separate group, we assessed renal function and salt excretion, the in vivo pressure-natriuresis response, and ex vivo artery function.RESULTSACTH infusion increased blood pressure, induced nondipping and caused a transition to salt-sensitivity. ACTH infusion reduced the urine sodium/potassium ratio and abolished the diurnal rhythm of sodium excretion. In isolated renal artery, the response to nitric oxide was diminished, and at the mRNA level, we found evidence of arterial remodeling and enhanced TGF-β (transforming growth factor beta) signaling. Autoregulation of renal blood flow was impaired, as was the pressure-natriuresis response.CONCLUSIONSACTH infusion impairs sodium excretion and causes a transition to nondipping and salt-sensitive blood pressure. Renal hemodynamic and tubular abnormalities impair the pressure-natriuresis response. Our findings provide a landscape of the complex physiological response to ACTH excess that may contribute to poor cardiovascular health in Cushing syndrome.","PeriodicalId":13042,"journal":{"name":"Hypertension","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144791988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disturbed sodium regulatory pathways can lead to primary hypertension, with abnormalities in the pressure-natriuresis mechanism contributing to its onset. An adverse intrauterine environment and postnatal stressors can affect nephron number, further linking renal development to hypertension risk. The development of hypertension may, however, also be influenced by alternative factors beyond the kidney. Monogenic diseases and polygenic risk scores are associated with hypertension development. Epigenetic mechanisms can influence the phenotype of the vascular endothelium in response to environmental stimuli, potentially leading to changes in blood pressure. Regulation of vascular tone, microvascular rarefaction, and interactions with the immune system are other nonrenal factors contributing to hypertension. The exposome, including air pollution and noise, has its impact already before conception via maternal and paternal influences, as well as later in life. In addition, lifestyle factors such as sodium and alcohol intake and tobacco use have been linked to hypertension through mechanisms such as increased sympathetic activity and vasoconstriction, highlighting the importance of behavioral factors in hypertension development. Age-related stiffening becomes important in later life, influences blood pressure phenotype, and may even precede hypertension development. Considering these multiple contributors, relevant for pathophysiology, prevention, and management of hypertension, the question arises whether the kidney-centered view on hypertension is sufficient or whether a more integrative, multifactorial perspective is needed. Full understanding of renal and nonrenal factors and their interactions driving hypertension is crucial to curb the global burden of this disease.","PeriodicalId":13042,"journal":{"name":"Hypertension","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144778130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

COX (Cyclooxygenase) is upregulated in endometriotic lesions, potentially exaggerating pressor reflexes, a major risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events.

We hypothesized that women with endometriosis would show exaggerated BP compared with healthy women during handgrip exercise and cold pressor testing (CPT).METHODSIn a single-blind, randomized, crossover design, women with (Endo ; n=11) and without (HC; n=9) endometriosis underwent a CPT and handgrip with postexercise ischemia following aspirin (a nonselective COX inhibitor; 650 mg) or placebo. Blood pressure was continuously monitored during baseline (5 minutes) and hand submersion (3 minutes; 4-8 °C) during CPT, and during baseline (5 minutes), 30% maximal voluntary contraction handgrip (2 minutes), and postexercise ischemia (3 minutes) for handgrip with postexercise ischemia.RESULTSWomen with endometriosis demonstrated attenuated pressor responses to CPT (∆MAP Endo 21±16 versus HC 34±20 mm Hg; P<0.01) and handgrip with postexercise ischemia (handgrip/postexercise ischemia: ΔMAP Endo=12±13/13±10 mm Hg, HC=24±14/20±8 mm Hg; P<0.01).

This study assessed the efficacy of early low-dose aspirin in preventing in women given calcium to prevent preeclampsia/eclampsia in Blantyre, Malawi.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a pragmatic, double-blind, cluster randomized controlled trial conducted in 4 urban health centers and Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre. A total of 306 women at high risk of preeclampsia were assigned to low-dose aspirin (150 mg/day) or placebo from 12 to 16 weeks until 34 weeks of gestation in clusters. All women were given calcium 1 g/day. The intention-to-treat analysis and adherence analysis were conducted with the primary end point of preeclampsia.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 39 women were lost to follow-up, and 1 withdrew consent. Data for 266 women were available for analysis. Overall, preeclampsia occurred in 15.8% (42/266) and eclampsia in 2.3% (6/266) of all women. There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of preeclampsia between the low-dose aspirin group 19.3% (26/135) and placebo group (12.2% 16/131; adjusted odds ratio, 1.16 [95% CI, 0.41-3.41]; <i>P</i>=0.781).
