Alpha 1-antitrypsin mitigates salt-sensitive hypertension in juvenile mice by reducing diacylglycerol concentrations and protein kinase C activity in kidney membranes by Yunus E. Dogan, Yunus E. Dogan, Yunus E. Dogan, Niharika Bala, Niharika Bala, Erika S. Galban, Erika S. Galban, Russell L. Lewis, Nancy D. Denslow, Sihong Song, Abdel A. Alli, Abdel A. Alli

“…Here, we hypothesized that administration of pharmaceutical-grade human AAT (hAAT) is effective in mitigating hypertension induced by salt-loading in juvenile mice by reducing the concentration of diacylglycerols (DAGs) and activity of protein kinase C (PKC) in the kidney.MethodsFour-week old 129Sv mice were salt-loaded to induce hypertension and then administered hAAT or vehicle.ResultsAdministration of hAAT was found to significantly reduce high blood pressure in both the active and inactive cycles of the 129Sv hypertensive mice. …”
