Angiotensin ‐converting enzyme 2–Angiotensin 1‐7/1‐9 system: novel promising targets for heart failure treatment
Abstract Cardiac remodeling (cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis) is a hallmark of heart failure (HF). It can be induced by the abnormal elevation of several endogenous factors including angiotensin II (Ang II), which is generated from its precursor angiotensin I (Ang I) by the action of angiotensin‐converting enzyme. The inhibition of this enzyme or the blockade of the Ang II receptors demonstrated a high clinical value against the progression of HF. Ang I and Ang II may also be converted into angiotensin 1‐7 (Ang 1‐7) and angiotensin 1‐9 (Ang 1‐9), respectively, by the action of angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2. ...

Melatonin therapy reduces the risk of osteoporosis and normalizes bone formation in multiple sclerosis
This study investigated, using ELISA, the clinical correlation between serum melatonin and proCT in MS patients. We then assessed the effect of melatonin (10mg/kg) therapy on bone metabolism and osteoporosis in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS and in MS patients. Data showed a significant increase (*p<0.05) in serum levels of proCT in MS patients, inversely correlated (r = −0.945; p = 0.0001) to melatonin levels, compared to healthy participants. On the other hand, melatonin therapy ameliorated EAE severity by significantly decreasing (*p<0.05) mean clinical scores, compared to co...

Exenatide upregulates gene expression of glucagon ‐like peptide‐1 receptor and nerve growth factor in streptozotocin/nicotinamide‐induced diabetic mice
Abstract Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) is an incretin hormone that has modulating effects on insulin release. GLP‐1 and receptors for GLP‐1 are widely expressed throughout the body including the brain. The expression of GLP‐1 receptors is very specific to large neurons in hippocampus, neocortex, and cerebellum. GLP‐1 receptor stimulation enhances glucose‐dependent insulin secretion and lowers blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Studies on adipobiology of neurotrophins have focused on nerve growth factor (NGF) as an example of adipose‐derived neurotrophins. Compromised trophic factor signaling may...

Detection of adverse drug reactions: evaluation of an automatic data processing applied in oncology performed in the French DRG database
This study focused on adverse drug reaction which required inpatient hospitalization (ADRh). All diagnoses coded in the DRG database for hospital stays that occurred within three months after OTT initiation were collected (potential ADRh). Filters (exclusion criteria) were automatically applied on potential ADRh in order to exclude diagnoses that were not adverse drug reactions (false positives). A pharmacovigilance review was carried out to identify ADRh in the medical records (reported ADRh). The sensitivity and specificity of the detection method were estimated for each filter combinations by comparison between potentia...
