Therefore, we decided to do further angiotensinogen analyses in a hypertension research program, where we found that obese hypertensive men, given their high salt intake and high 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP), had higher than expected renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) activity. In a cross-sectional study, we examined 64 newly diagnosed treatment-naïve obese hypertension men (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, 24-hour systolic ABP ≥ 130 mm Hg and/or 24-hour diastolic ABP ≥ 80 mm Hg), and 40 obese normotensive men (BMI ≥30 mg/m<sup>2</sup>, 24-hour systolic ABP &lt;130 and 24-hour diastolic ABP &lt;80 mm Hg). Blood for biochemical evaluation of the RAS was drawn after 60 minutes rest in the supine position. We applied multiple linear regression analysis to explore independent associations. The obese hypertensive men had a higher mean fasting plasma concentration of angiotensinogen than the obese normotensive men (970.4 ± 214.3 nmol/L versus 868.4 ± 173.0 nmol/L, <em>P</em> = 0.013). Adjusted for age and angiotensin II, angiotensinogen was significantly associated with 24-hour systolic ABP (regression coefficient±standard error (mm Hg/100 nmol/L angiotensinogen): 1.8 ± 0.6, <em>P</em> = 0.006), 24-hour diastolic ABP (0.8 ± 0.3, <em>P</em> = 0.021), and 24-hour pulse pressure (1.0 ± 0.4, <em>P</em> = 0.028). Thus, plasma angiotensinogen was associated with higher 24-hour ABPs independently of plasma angiotensin II in obese men.

Research has demonstrated that corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling mutually activate to produce proinflammatory cytokines, which modulate these gastrointestinal changes. Irisin, a myokine, has been shown to inhibit TLR4-proinflammatory cytokine signaling, thereby improving inflammation driven by obesity and metabolic syndrome. Based on this, we hypothesized that irisin could improve visceral hypersensitivity and impaired gut barrier function induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or CRF (IBS rat models), and tested this hypothesis. The visceral pain threshold, triggered by colonic balloon distention, was assessed by electrophysiologically monitoring abdominal muscle contractions in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Colonic permeability was evaluated by measuring the amount of Evans blue dye absorbed within the colonic tissue. Intraperitoneal irisin prevented LPS-induced visceral hypersensitivity and colonic hyperpermeability in a dose-dependent manner. Irisin also prevented CRF-induced gastrointestinal alterations.

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has emerged as a promising technique for AVP measurement, offering potential advantages over RIA. This study aimed to evaluate LC-MS/MS performance for AVP quantification during hypertonic saline loading and compare its diagnostic accuracy with that of RIA in differentiating CDI patients from controls. A total of 335 plasma samples were collected from 77 individuals—23 diagnosed with CDI and 54 controls—during hypertonic saline loading. AVP concentrations were measured using both LC-MS/MS and RIA. Statistical analyses included Wilcoxon tests to compare AVP levels, correlation analysis between LC-MS/MS and RIA, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to assess diagnostic performance. LC-MS/MS demonstrated a lower detection limit (0.3 pg/mL) and a broader quantification range than RIA. Regression analysis showed a strong correlation between LC-MS/MS and RIA in the control group, but no correlation in the CDI group. ROC analysis indicated that LC-MS/MS provided diagnostic accuracy comparable to RIA for distinguishing CDI patients from controls. Bland-Altman analysis showed the agreement between two methods at the low range of AVP. LC-MS/MS offers equivalent specificity and sensitivity to RIA for AVP measurement, while providing added benefits in time efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and differential diagnosis of CDI. These findings suggest that LC-MS/MS is a viable alternative to RIA for clinical AVP quantification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19765,"journal":{"name":"Peptides","volume":"187 ","pages":"Article 171392"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143664016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
