The Role of Adrenomedullin in the Renal NADPH Oxidase and (Pro)renin in Diabetic Mice by Michio Hayashi, Akihiro Tojo, Tatsuo Shimosawa, Toshiro Fujita

“…The GC hyperplasia score and the renal prorenin expression were significantly increased in the diabetic AMKO mice than in the diabetic wild mice, and a positive correlation was observed with the NADPH oxidase expression in the macula densa. The endogenous adrenomedullin gene exhibits an antioxidant action via the inhibition of NADPH oxidase probably by suppressing the local renin-angiotensin system.…”

Mechanism of Inflammation in Age-Related Macular Degeneration by Francesco Parmeggiani, Mario R. Romano, Ciro Costagliola, Francesco Semeraro, Carlo Incorvaia, Sergio D’Angelo, Paolo Perri, Paolo De Palma, Katia De Nadai, Adolfo Sebastiani

“…Experimental and clinical evidences strongly indicate the pathogenetic role of immunologic processes in AMD occurrence, consisting of production of inflammatory related molecules, recruitment of macrophages, complement activation, microglial activation and accumulation within those structures that compose an essential area of the retina known as macula lutea. This paper reviews some attractive aspects of the literature about the mechanisms of inflammation in AMD, especially focusing on those findings or arguments more directly translatable to improve the clinical management of patients with AMD and to prevent the severe vision loss caused by this disease.…”
