Abstract: Sex differences exist in obesity associated with cardiovascular disease; however, underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Previous studies from our laboratory demonstrated that the prorenin receptor (PRR) and its soluble form (sPRR) contribute to adipogenesis… read more here.

Abstract: Since the initial discovery of a pressor activity in kidney homogenates to its isolation and identification almost 100 years later, the protease renin constitutes a critical step in the activation of the reninangiotensin system (RAS)… read more here.
