Impact of Amiloride-Hydrochlorthiazide Diuretic Against the Pathway of Uric Acid – VLDL and Peroxynitrite in Essential Hypertension
Abstract: Thiazides induce metabolic derangement in terms of hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance, hyperuricemia and electrolytes imbalance. Co-amiloride-hydrochlorthiazide therapy favorably corrects the hypokalemia that is induced by thiazides alone. This study was aimed to identify the interactions between serum uric acid, very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL) and peroxynitrite in essential hypertensive patients using amiloride-hydrochlorthiazide as antihypertensive therapy. A total number of fifty patients (12 males and 38 females) with a history of hypertension were admitted in …

Recombinant Lactobacillus helveticus PJ4-Down Regulates TLR4 Mediated Inflammatory Responses in Sucrose Induced Diabetic Rats: A Novel Therapeutic Approach
Abstract: High sucrose diet (HSD) is known to induce type 2 diabetes. Recombinant Lactobacillus helveticus PJ4 was constructed to express the InuJ gene under the xylose promoter resulting in the secretion of inulosucrase enzyme in gastrointestinal tract which polymerizes the fructose moiety of sucrose to inulin type fructans. L. helveticus (pSLP-InuJ-Vhb) transformant (LHI) was intragastrically administered to rats fed with HSD diet. The composition of fecal microbiota and short-chain fatty acids …
