Does aldosterone blockade by Spironolactone improve the hypertensive vascular hypertrophy and remodeling in angiotensin II overproducing transgenic mice?
ALDO blockade by SPRL restores the vascular remodeling caused by the long-term RAS enhancement even in the high level of AngII, independent of blood pressure. Blocking AngII alone may not be sufficient, and direct ALDO blockade is also important to prevent vascular disease.
Our results demonstrated that CTDP1 was upregulated in human lung cancer tissues. In addition, it implied that CTDP1 played an important role in cell proliferation and may be a useful therapeutic target in human lung cancer.
