Clinical trials: Blood Pressure Regulation
Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure
Central Sodium Sensing: Implications for Blood Pressure Regulation
The ability of the brain to sense changing sodium levels in the blood is critical in mediating the neurohumoral responses to hypernatremia, however, the mechanisms underlying sodium sensing in humans is poorly understood.

Pre-Eclampsia
Role of ASpirin in Placental and Maternal Endothelial Cell Regulation IN Pre-eclampsia
Endothelial dysfunction and defective placental vascularization are hypothesized to be significant causes of preeclampsia. In preeclampsia, due to vascular endothelial dysfunction, vasoconstriction and platelet activation can…
