Research Abstract

Pathophysiological roles of novel hormones and receptors were examined in association with organ injuries. Expressions of adrenomedullin II(AM2) and(pro) renin receptor((P) RR) in the kidney and/or heart were significantly changed in renal failure, cardiac failure and hypertensive animal models. Analyses of gene polymorphisms revealed that the polymorphisms of AM2 and(P) RR were significantly associated with occurrences of cardiac hypertrophy, cerebral lacuna infarction and chronic kidney diseases. These results indicate that these novel hormones and receptors actually play certain roles in the renal and cardiovascular injuries.
