Abstract: Evidence suggests that decline in renal function is more severe in males than in age-matched females, manifesting in increased susceptibility to both chronic and acute kidney diseases among males. Our previous single-cell studies on renal… read more here.

Abstract: Epidemiological and clinical observations have shown that potassium ingestion is inversely correlated with arterial hypertension prevalence and cardiovascular mortality. The higher the dietary potassium, the lower the blood pressure and mortality. This phenomenon is explained,… read more here.
