The local tissue renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in the vascular tissue and immune cells and perivascular adipose tissue is recognized as an important element involved in endothelial ...

These results suggest that subjects with low HDL-C and high insulin, most of whom bear the descriptor “insulin resistance syndrome” or “syndrome X,” can drive aldosterone secretion to relatively high ...

Abstract To investigate the pathogenesis of hypertension in patients with obesity and insulin resistance and to explore the role of plasma lipids, we studied 30 subjects at the end of 7 days of low ...

The symptoms of hyperkalemia begin with muscle weakness. As serum potassium levels rise, symptoms progress to more significant muscle twitching, weakness, nausea, and cramping. [69] Cardiac ...
