Is p38 Mitogen-activated protein kinase stimulated by both angiotensin II and angiotensin III in cultured rat astrocytes?
These findings provide insight into the molecular nature of the actions of these peptides and offer a possible mechanism by which these Ang peptides physiological and possibly pathological actions occur in astrocytes.
Female gender, younger age, analgesic use and multiple co-morbidities were associated with the use of ADs. However, information is still limited on which variables guide physicians in prescribing AD medication. Further longitudinal studies including details on psychiatric and medication history are needed to improve the identification of patients in need of ADs.
