Abstract:The nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor blocker, esaxerenone, is effective in reducing blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients. However, the mechanism responsible for anti-hypertensive effect of esaxerenone is not clear. Therefore, we investigated esaxerenone-driven sodium homeostasis and its association with changes in BP in Dahl salt-sensitive (DSS) hypertensive rats. BP was measured by a radiotelemetry system, and sodium homeostasis was determined by an approach of sodium intake (food intake) and e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
