Endothelin-1 Increases Vascular Superoxide via EndothelinA–NADPH Oxidase Pathway in Low-Renin Hypertension

L Li, GD Fink, SW Watts, CA Northcott, JJ Galligan… - Circulation, 2003 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— Angiotensin II–induced hypertension is associated with NAD(P)H oxidase–dependent
superoxide production in the vessel wall. Vascular superoxide level is also …

Tissue-Specific cytokine production during experimental acute pancreatitis (a probable mechanism for distant organ dysfunction)

JG Norman, GW Fink, W Denham, J Yang… - Digestive diseases and …, 1997 - Springer
Our purpose was to determine if cytokines are produced systemically during acute

Circulating angiotensin II and dietary salt: converging signals for neurogenic hypertension

JW Osborn, GD Fink, AF Sved, GM Toney… - Current hypertension …, 2007 - Springer
Circulating angiotensin II (Ang II) combined with high salt intake increases sympathetic nerve

Chemerin connects fat to arterial contraction

…, JM Thompson, R Burnett, GD Fink - … , and vascular biology, 2013 - Am Heart Assoc

connection is largely a mystery. The peptide chemerin is a candidate for connecting fat …

Splanchnic circulation is a critical neural target in angiotensin II salt hypertension in rats

AJ King, JW Osborn, GD Fink - Hypertension, 2007 - Am Heart Assoc
Chronic angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion, in rats fed high salt, engages the sympathetic nervous
system to increase venomotor tone. The splanchnic sympathetic nervous system is the …

A novel method of selective ablation of afferent renal nerves by periaxonal application of capsaicin

…, RD Wainford, WC Engeland, GD Fink… - American Journal …, 2015 - journals.physiology.org
Renal denervation has been shown to lower arterial pressure in some hypertensive patients,
yet it remains unclear whether this is due to ablation of afferent or efferent renal nerves. To …

Area postrema is critical for angiotensin-induced hypertension in rats.

GD Fink, CA Bruner, ML Mangiapane - Hypertension, 1987 - Am Heart Assoc
The effect of surgical ablation of the area postrema on acute (5-10 minutes) and chronic (5-10
days) increases in mean arterial pressure produced by intravenous infusion of angiotensin …
