receptor signaling in age-related hypertension. Am J Physiol Renal Phyiol, 304: F1-F7.
The researchers discuss the roles of dopamine and angiotensin II in the kidneys in regulating blood pressure. The study is focused on recent analysis of the way in which these renal receptors signal to one another and how these signals are factored into the process of the body's aging. The study examines the history of research on the subject of the rennin-angiotension system and the renal dopaminergic system and explores new findings related to the process of blood pressure regulation by posing questions, such as, "Do tissue factors, especially dopamine, change during renal aging?" (p. F2). The study discusses the ramifications of targeting specific receptors with agonists and antagonists in order to thwart renal aging and stem the effects of this process among geriatrics.

This study identifies the cause of hypertension in aged rats as being dopamine D1 and angiotensin II type 1 receptors. This study is complimentary to the other study led by Chugh (2013) and...
Chronic Kidney Disease Chronic kidney disease commonly develops alongside diabetes and/or high blood pressures. Patients who suffer from either are at risk of also developing chronic kidney disease. This is because high blood sugar can cause damage to the kidneys in the same way that a car exposed to wintery weather conditions is impacted by the salt that the city will dump on the road to control for ice. The car
dehydration impacts on human metabolism. In this sense, a short introduction in the issue of deficient water input is followed by delimitating the notions of metabolism and dehydration in terms of definition and classification. Afterwards, focus falls on the possible degrees of dehydration and body mass loss, and their implications for a human body. According to Susan Kleiner, Ph.D., "water is the one essential element to life as we know
HYPERTENSION AND IMPACT ON US Hypertension and Its Potential Significant Impact on U.S. PopulationThomas Fuller, an English churchman, and historian, said: \\\"Health is not valued till sickness comes.\\\" Hypertension is one of the most life-threatening diseases in the U.S., which is present in almost one out of four adults. Almost half of the U.S. deaths were primarily because of hypertension in the year 2017 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
The utility of these sessions can be important as it will provide a platform for interacting with the physician regarding prescribed medicines; guidance for remembering to adhere to appropriate drug regimen and suggestions for tackling difficulties related to taking medicines for instance missed dosages, side effects, and drug interactions. ("Activities for priority groups and settings," n. d.) iii) Support Programs: Religious gathering and other memberships groups are preferably located
Introduction Hypertension is the chronic elevation of blood pressure that can lead to organ failure and even mortality. Cardiac output creates blood pressure but in patients with hypertension, cardiac output is increased. The autonomic nervous system helps to regulate blood pressure but in patients with hypertension, no repinephrine is existent and stress is felt especially acutely. Phenotype and Genotype It is unknown what genes cause hypertension. Moreover, as Korner (2010) points out, “their
Congestive Heart Failure It is a fact that Congestive Heart Failure is an extremely frightening word and an equally frightening concept to comprehend, and when a loved one, or oneself has been diagnosed with this condition, it is quite natural to relapse into a state of depression or panic. However, it is not an untreatable disease, and with the correct and appropriate treatment methods, and with the right physician attending, the
