Empagliflozin targets a renal neuro-epithelial-immune axis in heart failure

Jennifer N. Coelho, Livia C. Simonete, João Carlos Ribeiro-Silva, Erika F. Jesus, Andreia Boaro, Flavia L. Martins, José Wilson do Nascimento Corrêa, Larissa Ferreira dos Santos, Danúbia Silva dos Santos, Ednei Luiz Antônio, Raphael E. Szawka, Andrey Jorge Serra, Adriana C. C. Girardi

Empagliflozin lowered renal norepinephrine by about 50% in rats with heart failure, independent of intrarenal renin-angiotensin activity, and shifted kidney macrophages toward a reparative phenotype.

Impact of Proximal Tubule-Specific Deletion of Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 on Blood Pressure, Renal Sodium Handling, and NHE3 Phosphorylation

Flavia L. Martins, João Carlos Ribeiro-Silva, Érika Fernandes de Jesus, Ravi Nistala, Adriana C. C. Girardi

This study examines the impact of DPP4 deletion in proximal tubules on blood pressure, sodium handling, and NHE3 phosphorylation in mice, finding that DPP4 modulates NHE3 activity and Ang II sensitivity.
