The cardiotonic steroid marinobufagenin is a predictor of increased left ventricular mass in obesity: the African-PREDICT study
(MDPI, 2020)
The endogenous Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, marinobufagenin (MBG), strongly associates with salt intake and a greater left ventricular mass index (LVMi) in humans and was shown to promote cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy in ...
Autonomic activity and its relationship with the endogenous cardiotonic steroid marinobufagenin: the African-PREDICT study
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Aim: Marinobufagenin (MBG), a cardiotonic steroid and a natriuretic hormone, is elevated in response to high salt diet consumption. In animal models salt intake stimulates adrenocortical MBG secretion via increased angiotensin ...
Microvascular function in non-dippers: potential involvement of the salt sensitivity biomarker, marinobufagenin-the African-PREDICT study
(Wiley, 2020)
Suppressed nighttime blood pressure dipping is associated with salt sensitivity and may increase the hemodynamic load on the microvasculature. The mechanism remains unknown whereby salt sensitivity may increase the ...
