Abstract
Type 2 diabetics have an increased prevalence of hypertension and nondipping blood pressure (BP), which worsen cardiovascular outcomes. Exenatide, a short acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) used to treat type 2 diabetes, also demonstrates blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects. However, the mechanisms behind this and the impact of administration timing on BP dipping remain unclear. We investigated the effects of exenatide intraperitoneal injected at light onset (ZT0) or dark onset (ZT12) in diabetic (db/db) mice and nondiabetic controls. Using radio-telemetry and BioDAQ cages, we continuously monitored BP and food intake. Db/db mice exhibited non-dipping BP and increased food intake. ZT0 exenatide administration restored BP dipping by specifically lowering light-phase BP, while ZT12 exenatide reversed dipping by lowering dark-phase BP. These effects correlated with altered food intake patterns, and importantly, were abolished when food access was removed. Additionally, urinary norepinephrine excretion, measured by HPLC, was significantly reduced 6 hours post-exenatide at both ZT0 and ZT12, suggesting sympathetic nervous system involvement. Notably, combining exenatide with either ganglionic blocker mecamylamine or α-blocker prazosin did not enhance BP reduction beyond the individual effects of each blocker. These findings reveal that exenatide, when administered at light onset, restores BP dipping in db/db mice by suppressing light-phase food intake and sympathetic activity. Importantly, the efficacy of exenatide is dependent on food availability and its timing relative to circadian rhythms, highlighting the potential for chronotherapy in optimizing GLP-1RA- based treatments for type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Graphic Abstract Article Highlights Maintaining a normal blood pressure (BP) circadian rhythm is vital for cardiovascular health, but diabetes often disrupts this rhythm. The effect of exenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), on BP rhythm in diabetes is uncertain.This study investigates the impact of exenatide administration timing on BP patterns in diabetic db/db mice.Findings indicate that exenatide given at the onset of rest restores normal BP dipping, while at the start of the active phase worsens BP rhythm by modulating food intake and sympathetic activity.Timing GLP-1 RA administration may optimize BP control and provide cardiovascular benefits for type 2 diabetes patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the dose-exposure-response effect of spironolactone on biomarkers of the classical and alternative arms of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in healthy dogs. ANIMALS Ten healthy purpose-bred Beagle dogs. PROCEDURES Study dogs were randomly allocated to 2 spironolactone dosing groups (2 mg/kg PO q24hr, 4 mg/kg PO q24hr). The dogs received 7-day courses of spironolactone followed by a 14-day washout period in a crossover (AB/BA) design. Angiotensin peptides and aldosterone were measured in serum using equilibrium analysis, and plasma canrenone and 7-α-thiomethyl spironolactone (TMS) were quantified via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS). Study results were compared before and after dosing and between groups. RESULTS Following spironolactone treatment, dogs had a significant increase in serum aldosterone concentration (P = 0.07), with no statistical differences between dosing groups. Significant increases in angiotensin II (P = 0.09), angiotensin I (P = 0.08), angiotensin 1-5 (P = 0.08), and a surrogate marker for plasma renin activity (P = 0.06) were detected compared to baseline following spironolactone treatment during the second treatment period only. Overall, changes from baseline did not significantly differ between spironolactone dosages. RAAS analytes were weakly correlated (R < 0.4) with spironolactone dosage and plasma canrenone or plasma TMS. There were no adverse clinical or biochemical effects seen at any spironolactone dosage during treatment. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with spironolactone increased serum aldosterone concentration in healthy dogs and impacted other biomarkers of the classical and alternative arms of the RAAS. There was no difference in effect on the RAAS between 2 and 4 mg/kg/day dosing. Dosage of 4 mg/kg/day was safe and well-tolerated in healthy dogs.

Abstract
Despite the advancement in blood pressure (BP) lowering medications, uncontrolled hypertension persists, underscoring a stagnation of effective clinical strategies. Novel and effective lifestyle therapies are needed to prevent and manage hypertension to mitigate future progression to cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases. Chrono-nutrition, aligning the timing of eating with environmental cues and internal biological clocks, has emerged as a potential strategy to improve BP in high-risk populations. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the circadian physiology of BP with an emphasis on renal and vascular circadian biology. The potential of Chrono-nutrition as a lifestyle intervention for hypertension is discussed and current evidence for the efficacy of time-restricted eating is presented.

Abstract
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) consists of bioactive angiotensin peptides, enzymatic pathways, receptors, and the steroid hormone aldosterone. The RAAS regulates blood pressure, sodium, and electrolyte homeostasis and mediates pathologic disease processes. Within this system is an alternative arm that counterbalances the vasoconstrictive, sodium and water retentive, and pro-fibrotic and inflammatory effects of the classical arm. Improved biochemical methodologies in RAAS quantification are elucidating how this complex system changes in health and disease. Future treatments for cardiovascular and kidney disease will likely involve a more nuanced manipulation of this system rather than simple blockade.

Abstract
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-systems (RAAS) play a central role in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure (CHF), justifying the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) in dogs and humans with cardiac diseases. Seminal studies in canine CHF had suggested that the pharmacological action of benazepril was relatively independent of doses greater than 0.25 mg/kg P.O, thereby providing a rationale for the European labeled dose of benazepril in dogs with CHF. However, most of these earlier studies relied on measures of ACE activity, a sub-optimal endpoint to characterize the effect of ACEi on the RAAS. The objectives of this study were (i) to expand on previous mathematical modeling efforts of the dose-exposure-response relationship of benazepril on biomarkers of the RAAS which are relevant to CHF pathophysiology and disease prognosis; and (ii) to develop a software implementation capable of simulating clinical trials in benazepril in dogs bedside dose optimization. Our results suggest that 0.5 mg/kg PO q12h of benazepril produces the most robust reduction in angiotensin II and upregulation of RAAS alternative pathway biomarkers. This model will eventually be expanded to include relevant clinical endpoints, which will be evaluated in an upcoming prospective trial in canine patients with CHF.

Abstract
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) such as benazepril are commonly prescribed in both humans and dogs with heart disease to mitigate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS); however, the dose-dependent effects of benazepril on comprehensive RAAS components remain unknown. In this study, nine purpose-bred healthy dogs received three different dosages of oral benazepril (0.125 mg/kg, 0.25 mg/kg, or 0.5 mg/kg) in a randomized crossover design following induction of RAAS activation by consuming a low-sodium diet. Blood samples were collected at serial time intervals after benazepril dosing to measure plasma benazeprilat (active metabolite of benazepril) and serum RAAS biomarkers. Blood pressure and echocardiogram were performed at baseline and after each benazepril administration. Time-weighted averages for RAAS biomarkers for 12 h post-dose and hemodynamic variables were compared between dosing groups using Wilcoxon rank-sum testing. Compared to the lowest dosage of benazepril (0.125 mg/kg), the highest dosage (0.5 mg/kg) resulted in lower time-weighted average values of angiotensin (Ang) II (- 38%, P = 0.004), Ang1-5 (- 53%, P = 0.001), ACE-S (surrogate for ACE activity; - 59%, P = 0.0002), and ALT-S (surrogate for alternative RAAS activity; - 22%, P = 0.004), and higher values of AngI (+ 78%, P = 0.014) and PRA-S (surrogate for plasma renin activity; + 58%, P = 0.040). There were no relevant differences between dosing groups for blood pressure or echocardiographic variables. Knowledge of dose-dependent alterations in biomarkers of the classical and alternative RAAS pathways could help inform clinical trials for dosage optimization in both dogs and humans.

Abstract
Disruption of blood pressure (BP) circadian rhythm, independent of hypertension, is emerging as an index for future target organ damage and is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. Previous studies showed that changing food availability time alters BP rhythm in several mammalian species. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. To address this, the current study specifically investigates (1) the relationship between rhythms of food intake and BP in wild-type mice; (2) effects of light-phase time-restricted feeding (TRF, food only available during light-phase) on BP circadian rhythm in wild-type and diabetic db/db mice; (3) the roles of the autonomic system and clock gene in light-phase TRF induced changes in BP circadian rhythm. Food intake and BP of C57BL/6J and db/db mice were simultaneously and continuously recorded using BioDAQ and telemetry systems under ad libitum or light-phase TRF. Per2 protein daily oscillation was recorded in vivo by IVIS spectrum in mPer2 Luc mice. Autonomic nerve activity was evaluated by heart rate variability, baroreflex, urinary norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (Epi) excretion, and mRNA expressions of catecholamines biosynthetic and catabolic enzymes, and alpha-adrenergic receptors in mesenteric resistance arteries. We found that in wild-type mice, the BP level was correlated with the food intake temporally across the 24 h. Reversing the feeding time by imposing light-phase TRF resulted in reverse or inverted BP dipping. Interestingly, the net changes in food intake were correlated with the net alteration in BP temporally under light-phase TRF. In db/db mice, light-phase TRF worsened the existing non-dipping BP. The food intake and BP circadian rhythm changes were associated with alterations in Per2 protein daily oscillation and the time-of-day variations in heart rate variability, baroreflex, and urinary excretion of NE and Epi, and increased mRNA expression of Slc6a2 (encoding NE transporter) and Adra1d (encoding alpha-adrenergic receptor 1d) in the mesenteric resistance arteries, indicating the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) was modulated after light-phase TRF. Collectively, our results demonstrated that light-phase TRF results in reverse dipping of BP in wild-type and diabetic db/db mice and revealed the potential role of the sympathetic pathway in light-phase TRF-induced BP circadian rhythm alteration.

Abstract
Background Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are commonly prescribed in dogs, but the ideal dosage is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives In dogs with cardiac disease, a dose‐response relationship exists for ACEIs with respect to long‐term outcome. Animals One hundred forty‐four dogs with cardiac disease, 63 with current or prior congestive heart failure. Methods Retrospective medical record review. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine variables associated with 2‐year survival or survival from first‐onset congestive heart failure (CHF). Results Median initial ACEI dosage was 0.84 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.56‐0.98) mg/kg/day, and 108/144 (75%) of dogs received q12h dosing. No clinically relevant changes in renal function test results, serum electrolyte concentrations, or blood pressure occurred between initial prescription of ACEI and first reevaluation (median, 14 days later). In univariable analysis, higher ACEI dose was associated with increased survival from first‐onset CHF (P = .005), and within the subgroup of dogs in CHF at the time of ACEI prescription, higher ACEI dose was associated with improved survival at 2 years (P = .04). In multivariable analysis, q12h dose frequency of ACEI (hazard ratio [HR], 0.30; 95% CI, 0.10‐0.88; P = .03) and higher serum potassium concentration at visit 1 (HR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.16‐0.97; P = .04) were predictive of 2‐year survival. The ACEIs were well‐tolerated, with only 8/144 (5.6%) dogs having ACEI dose decreased or discontinued because of adverse effects. Conclusions and Clinical Importance Twice daily dose frequency might optimize the cardioprotective benefit of ACEIs.

Abstract
Heart failure is a major public health problem, which is associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and healthcare expenditures. A substantial amount of the morbidity is attributed to volume overload, for which loop diuretics are a mandatory treatment. However, the variability in response to diuretics and development of diuretic resistance adversely affect the clinical outcomes. Morevoer, there exists a marked intra- and inter-patient variability in response to diuretics that affects the clinical course and related adverse outcomes. In the present article, we review the mechanisms underlying the development of diuretic resistance. The role of the autonomic nervous system and chronobiology in the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure and response to therapy are also discussed. Establishing a novel model for overcoming diuretic resistance is presented based on a patient-tailored variability and chronotherapy-guided machine learning algorithm that comprises clinical, laboratory, and sensor-derived inputs, including inputs from pulmonary artery measurements. Inter- and intra-patient signatures of variabilities, alterations of biological clock, and autonomic nervous system responses are embedded into the algorithm; thus, it may enable a tailored dose regimen in a continuous manner that accommodates the highly dynamic complex system.

Abstract
The quantity and quality of food intake have been considered crucial for peoples' wellness. Only recently has it become appreciated that the timing of food intake is also critical. Nondipping blood pressure (BP) is prevalent in diabetic patients and is associated with increased cardiovascular events. However, the causes and mechanisms of nondipping BP in diabetes are not fully understood. Here, we report that food intake and BP were arrhythmic in diabetic db/db mice fed a normal chow diet ad libitum. Imposing a food intake diurnal rhythm by time-restricted feeding (TRF; food was only available for 8 h during the active phase) prevented db/db mice from developing nondipping BP and effectively restored the already disrupted BP circadian rhythm in db/db mice. Interestingly, increasing the time of food availability from 8 h to 12 h during the active dark phase in db/db mice prompted isocaloric feeding and still provided robust protection of the BP circadian rhythm in db/db mice. In contrast, neither 8-h nor 12-h TRF affected BP dipping in wild-type mice. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that TRF protects the BP circadian rhythm in db/db mice via suppressing the sympathetic activity during the light phase when they are inactive and fasting. Collectively, these data reveal a potentially pivotal role of the timing of food intake in the prevention and treatment of nondipping BP in diabetes.

Abstract
Background Diuretic braking during furosemide continuous rate infusion (FCRI) curtails urine production. Hypothesis Renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) activation mediates braking, and RAAS inhibition will increase urine production. Animals Ten healthy purpose‐bred male dogs. Methods Dogs received placebo, benazepril, or benazepril and spironolactone PO for 3 days before a 5‐hour FCRI (0.66 mg/kg/h) in a 3‐way, randomized, blinded, cross‐over design. Body weight (BW), serum creatinine concentration (sCr), serum electrolyte concentrations, PCV, and total protein concentration were measured before PO medications, at hours 0 and 5 of FCRI, and at hour 24. During the FCRI, water intake, urine output, urine creatinine concentration, and urine electrolyte concentrations were measured hourly. Selected RAAS components were measured before and after FCRI. Variables were compared among time points and treatments. Results Diuretic braking and urine production were not different among treatments. Loss of BW, hemoconcentration, and decreased serum chloride concentration occurred during FCRI with incomplete recovery at hour 24 for all treatments. Although unchanged during FCRI, sCr increased and serum sodium concentration decreased at hour 24 for all treatments. Plasma aldosterone and angiotensin‐II concentrations increased significantly at hour 5 for all treatments, despite suppressed angiotensin‐converting enzyme activity during benazepril background treatment. Conclusions The neurohormonal profile during FCRI supports RAAS mediation of diuretic braking in this model. Background treatment with benazepril with or without spironolactone did not mitigate braking, but was well tolerated. Delayed changes in sCr and serum sodium concentration and incomplete recovery of hydration indicators caused by furosemide hold implications for clinical patients.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2021; 12:738848. [PMID: 34745006 PMCID: PMC8567993 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2021.738848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporters inhibitors (SGLT2-i) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) are glucose-lowering drugs that are proved to reduce the cardiovascular (CV) risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this process, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is assumed to play a role. The inhibition of SGLT2 improves hyperglycemia hampering urinary reabsorption of glucose and inducing glycosuria. This "hybrid" diuretic effect, which couples natriuresis with osmotic diuresis, potentially leads to systemic RAAS activation. However, the association between SGLT2-i and systemic RAAS activation is not straightforward. Available data indicate that SGLT2-i cause plasma renin activity (PRA) increase in the early phase of treatment, while PRA and aldosterone levels remain unchanged in chronic treated patients. Furthermore, emerging studies provide evidence that SGLT2-i might have an interfering effect on aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) in patients with T2DM, due to their diuretic and sympathoinhibition effects. The cardio- and reno-protective effects of GLP-1-RA are at least in part related to the interaction with RAAS. In particular, GLP1-RA counteract the action of angiotensin II (ANG II) inhibiting its synthesis, increasing the inactivation of its circulating form and contrasting its action on target tissue like glomerular endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, GLP1-RA stimulate natriuresis inhibiting Na+/H+ exchanger NHE-3, which is conversely activated by ANG II. Moreover, GLP1 infusion acutely reduces circulating aldosterone, but this effect does not seem to be chronically maintained in patients treated with GLP1-RA. In conclusion, both SGLT2-i and GLP1-RA seem to have several effects on RAAS, though additional studies are needed to clarify this relationship.

Abstract
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is the regulatory system by which renin induces aldosterone production. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is the main effector substance of the RAAS. The RAAS regulates blood pressure and electrolyte balance by controlling blood volume and peripheral resistance. Excessive activation of the RAAS is an important factor in the onset of cardiovascular disease and the deterioration of this disease. The most common RAAS abnormality is primary aldosteronism (PA). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a peptide secreted by the main cells of the parathyroid gland, which promotes elevated blood calcium (Ca2+) levels and decreased blood phosphorus (Pi) levels. Excessive secretion of PTH can cause primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Parathyroidism is highly prevalent in postmenopausal women and is often associated with secondary osteoporosis. PA and PHPT are common endocrine system diseases. However, studies have shown a link between the RAAS and PTH, indicating a positive relationship between them. In this review, we explore the complex bidirectional relationship between the RAAS and PTH. We also point out possible future treatment options for related diseases based on this relationship.

Abstract
Background: High-dose, pharmacological ascorbate (P-AscH−) is preferentially cytotoxic to human cancer cells in vitro. Investigations on the efficacy of P-AscH− as an adjuvant treatment for multiple human cancers are on-going, but has yet to be formally investigated in dogs. The primary objectives of this study were to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of P-AscH− in healthy Beagle dogs and the effects of P-AscH− on canine osteosarcoma cells in vitro. Methods: Eight purpose-bred, healthy, spayed female Beagle dogs, between 20 and 21 months old, and 8–10 kg were administered two doses of P-AscH− (550 or 2,200 mg/kg) via intravenous infusion over 6 h, on separate days. Plasma ascorbate concentrations were measured at 12 time points during and after infusion for PK analysis using nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) and non-compartmental analysis (NCA). Clonogenic assays were performed on 2 canine osteosarcoma cell lines (D-17 and OSCA-8) and canine primary dermal fibroblasts after exposure to high concentrations of ascorbate (75 pmoles/cell). Results: Plasma ascorbate levels in the dogs peaked at approximately 10 mM following 2,200 mg/kg and returned to baseline 6–8 h after dosing. Minor adverse effects were seen in two dogs. Ascorbate (75 pmoles/cell) significantly decreased survival in both the osteosarcoma cell lines (D-17 63% SD 0.010, P = 0.005; OSCA-8 50% SD 0.086, P = 0.026), compared to normal fibroblasts (27% SD 0.056). Conclusions: Pharmacological ascorbate is preferentially cytotoxic to canine-derived cancer cells. High levels of ascorbate can be safely administered to dogs. Further studies are needed to determine the effects of P-AscH− on canine patients.

Abstract
Numerous physiological functions exhibit substantial circadian oscillations. In the kidneys, renal plasma flow, the glomerular filtration rate and tubular reabsorption and/or secretion processes have been shown to peak during the active phase and decline during the inactive phase. These functional rhythms are driven, at least in part, by a self-sustaining cellular mechanism termed the circadian clock. The circadian clock controls different cellular functions, including transcription, translation and protein post-translational modifications (such as phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitylation) and degradation. Disruption of the circadian clock in animal models results in the loss of blood pressure control and substantial changes in the circadian pattern of water and electrolyte excretion in the urine. Kidney-specific suppression of the circadian clock in animals implicates both the intrinsic renal and the extrarenal circadian clocks in these pathologies. Alterations in the circadian rhythm of renal functions are associated with the development of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, renal fibrosis and kidney stones. Furthermore, renal circadian clocks might interfere with the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of various drugs and are therefore an important consideration in the treatment of some renal diseases or disorders.

Abstract
Cardiovascular and renal physiology follow strong circadian rhythms. For instance, renal excretion of solutes and water is higher during the active period compared to the inactive period, and blood pressure peaks early in the beginning of the active period of both diurnal and nocturnal animals. The control of these rhythms is largely dependent on the expression of clock genes both in the central nervous system and within peripheral organs themselves. Although it is understood that the central and peripheral clocks interact and communicate, few studies have explored the specific mechanism by which various organ systems within the body are coordinated to control physiological processes. The renal sympathetic nervous innervation has long been known to have profound effects on renal function, and because the sympathetic nervous system follows strong circadian rhythms, it is likely that autonomic control of the kidney plays an integral role in modulating renal circadian function. This review highlights studies that provide insight into this interaction, discusses areas lacking clarity, and suggests the potential for future work to explore the role of renal autonomics in areas such as blood pressure control and chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Chronic activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) promotes and perpetuates the syndromes of congestive heart failure, systemic hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. Excessive circulating and tissue angiotensin II (AngII) and aldosterone levels lead to a pro-fibrotic, -inflammatory, and -hypertrophic milieu that causes remodeling and dysfunction in cardiovascular and renal tissues. Understanding of the role of the RAAS in this abnormal pathologic remodeling has grown over the past few decades and numerous medical therapies aimed at suppressing the RAAS have been developed. Despite this, morbidity from these diseases remains high. Continued investigation into the complexities of the RAAS should help clinicians modulate (suppress or enhance) components of this system and improve quality of life and survival. This review focuses on updates in our understanding of the RAAS and the pathophysiology of AngII and aldosterone excess, reviewing what is known about its suppression in cardiovascular and renal diseases, especially in the cat and dog.

Abstract
Simultaneous blockade of angiotensin receptors and enhancement of natriuretic peptides (NP) by the first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin (NEP) inhibitor sacubitril/valsartan constitutes an effective approach to treating heart failure. This study examined the effects of sacubitril/valsartan (225 and 675 mg/day) vs. placebo, sacubitril (360 mg/day), valsartan (900 mg/day), and benazepril (5 mg/day) on the dynamics of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the NP system in dogs. Beagle dogs (n = 18) were fed a low-salt diet (0.05% Na) for 15 days to model RAAS activation observed in clinical heart failure. Drugs were administered once daily during the last 10 days, while the effects on the RAAS and NPs were assessed on Day 1, 5, and 10. Steady-state pharmacokinetics of the test agents were evaluated on Day 5. Compared with placebo, sacubitril/valsartan (675 mg) substantially increased cGMP circulating levels, while benazepril and valsartan showed no effect. Additionally, sacubitril/valsartan (675 mg) and valsartan significantly increased plasma renin activity, angiotensin I and angiotensin II concentrations. Finally, sacubitril/valsartan (both doses), and valsartan significantly decreased plasma aldosterone vs. placebo. Systemic exposure to valsartan following sacubitril/valsartan 675 mg administration was similar to that observed with valsartan 900 mg administration alone. Sacubitril/valsartan favorably modulates the dynamics of the renin and NP cascades through complementary NEP and RAAS inhibition.

Abstract
Multiple classes of antihypertensive drugs inhibit components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The primary physiological effector of the RAAS is angiotensin II (AngII) bound to the AT1 receptor (AT1-bound AngII). There is a strong non-linear feedback from AT1-bound AngII on renin secretion. Since AT1-bound AngII is not readily measured experimentally, plasma renin concentration (PRC) and/or activity (PRA) are typically measured to indicate RAAS suppression. We investigated the RAAS suppression of imarikiren hydrochloride (TAK-272; SCO-272), a direct renin inhibitor currently under clinical development. We employed a previously developed quantitative system pharmacology (QSP) model to benchmark renin suppression and blood pressure regulation with imarikiren compared to other RAAS therapies. A pharmacokinetic (PK) model of imarikiren was linked with the existing QSP model, which consists of a mechanistic representation of the RAAS pathway coupled with a model of blood pressure regulation and volume homeostasis. The PK and pharmacodynamic effects of imarikiren were calibrated by fitting drug concentration, PRA, and PRC data, and trough AT1-bound AngII suppression was simulated. We also prospectively simulated expected mean arterial pressure reduction in a cohort of hypertensive virtual patients. These predictions were benchmarked against predictions for several other (previously calibrated) RAAS monotherapies and dual-RAAS therapies. Our analysis indicates that low doses (5-10 mg) of imarikiren are comparable to current RAAS therapies, and at higher doses (25-200 mg), RAAS suppression may be equivalent to existing dual-RAAS combinations (at registered doses). This study illustrates application of QSP modeling to predict phase II endpoints from phase I data.

Abstract
Background The effects of sacubitril/valsartan (S/V) on the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) in dogs with cardiomegaly secondary to myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) are currently unknown. Objectives To determine the pharmacodynamic effects of S/V on the RAAS, natriuretic peptide concentrations, systolic arterial pressure (SAP), tests of renal function, and serum electrolyte concentrations in dogs with cardiomegaly secondary to MMVD. Animals Thirteen client‐owned dogs weighing 4‐15 kg with American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) Stage B2 MMVD. Methods Prospective, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled pilot study of S/V in dogs with ACVIM Stage B2 MMVD. Results Thirteen dogs were recruited: S/V (n = 7) and placebo (n = 6). The median percentage increase in urinary aldosterone to creatinine ratio (UAldo : C) between day 0 and day 30 was significantly lower in the S/V group (12%; P = .032) as compared with the placebo group (195%). The median percentage decrease of NT‐proBNP concentration from day 0 to day 30 was not statistically different between groups (P = .68). No statistical differences were seen in echocardiographic, thoracic radiographic, SAP, or serum biochemical test results measured at any time point between groups. No adverse events were observed for dogs in either group. Conclusion and Clinical Importance Sacubitril/valsartan may provide a new pharmaceutical method to effectively inhibit the RAAS in dogs with ACVIM Stage B2 MMVD.

Abstract
Reducing body weight has been shown to lower blood pressure in obesity-related hypertension. However, success of those lifestyle interventions is limited due to poor long-term compliance. Emerging evidence indicates that feeding schedule plays a role on the regulation of blood pressure. With two studies, we examined the role of feeding schedule on energy homeostasis and blood pressure. In study 1, rats were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) ad libitum for 24 h (Control) or for 12 h during the dark phase (time-restricted feeding, TRF). In study 2, rats fed a HFD were administered a long-acting α-MSH analog at either light onset [melanotan II (MTII) light] or dark onset (MTII dark) or saline (Control). MTII light animals ate most of their calories during the active phase, similar to the TRF group. In study 1, Control and TRF rats consumed the same amount of food and gained the same amount of weight and fat mass. Interestingly, systolic and mean arterial pressure (MAP) was lower in the TRF group. In study 2, food intake was significantly lower in both MTII groups relative to Control. Although timing of injection affected light versus dark phase food consumption, neither body weight nor fat mass differed between MTII groups. Consistent with study 1, rats consuming their calories during the active phase displayed lower MAP. These data indicate that limiting feeding to the active phase reduces blood pressure without the necessity of reducing calories or fat mass, which could be relevant to obesity-related hypertension.

Abstract
During the 2017 Biennial meeting, the American Academy of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics hosted a 1-day session on the influence of population variability on dose-exposure-response relationships. In Part I, we highlighted some of the sources of population variability. Part II provides a summary of discussions on modelling and simulation tools that utilize existing pharmacokinetic data, can integrate drug physicochemical characteristics with species physiological characteristics and dosing information or that combine observed with predicted and in vitro information to explore and describe sources of variability that may influence the safe and effective use of veterinary pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
A common feature of human and veterinary pharmacokinetics is the importance of identifying and quantifying the key determinants of between-patient variability in drug disposition and effects. Some of these attributes are already well known to the field of human pharmacology such as bodyweight, age, or sex, while others are more specific to veterinary medicine, such as species, breed, and social behavior. Identification of these attributes has the potential to allow a better and more tailored use of therapeutic drugs both in companion and food-producing animals. Nonlinear mixed effects (NLME) have been purposely designed to characterize the sources of variability in drug disposition and response. The NLME approach can be used to explore the impact of population-associated variables on the relationship between drug administration, systemic exposure, and the levels of drug residues in tissues. The latter, while different from the method used by the US Food and Drug Administration for setting official withdrawal times (WT) can also be beneficial for estimating WT of approved animal drug products when used in an extralabel manner. Finally, NLME can also prove useful to optimize dosing schedules, or to analyze sparse data collected in situations where intensive blood collection is technically challenging, as in small animal species presenting limited blood volume such as poultry and fish.

Hypertens Res 2017; 40:658-664.

Abstract
High sodium-to-potassium ratios are associated with elevated blood pressure levels and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to determine whether urinary sodium-to-potassium ratios fluctuate diurnally during the day to understand measured values of casual urinary sodium-to-potassium ratios. A total of 13,277 casual urine specimens were collected under free-living conditions from 122 Japanese normotensive and hypertensive individuals. Participants collected all casual urine samples in aliquot tubes, reported urine volumes and the time at each voiding for 10-22 days. Then, specimens were classified into hourly data. Diurnal patterns of urinary sodium-to-potassium ratios and urinary concentrations of sodium and potassium were evaluated. Overall mean values of hourly urinary sodium-to-potassium ratios were highest (4.1-5.0) in the early morning, lower (3.3-3.8) in the daytime and higher (4.0-4.4) toward evening hours. The mean urinary sodium and potassium concentrations were the lowest (90-110 and 24-32 mmol l-1, respectively) during the early morning and higher (110-140 and 35-43 mmol l-1, respectively) after mid-morning. Diurnal variability of potassium concentrations was larger than for sodium concentrations. Diurnal variations in urinary sodium-to-potassium ratios were comparable between normotensive and hypertensive individuals, between hypertensive individuals with and without antihypertensive medications, and among age and gender-specific subgroups. Overall mean hourly urinary sodium-to-potassium ratios fluctuated diurnally under free-living conditions and were higher during the morning and evening and lower during the daytime compared with 24-h urinary sodium-to-potassium ratios. Diurnal variation in urinary sodium-to-potassium ratios should be considered to understand actual daily dietary levels and avoid over- and under-estimation in clinical practice.

Abstract
Combined use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may induce acute kidney injury, especially when combined with diuretics. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of benazepril, robenacoxib and their combination in healthy dogs. In each of two studies (studies 1 and 2), 32 beagle dogs were randomized into one of four groups in a parallel-group design. Groups received once-daily oral treatment for 7 days with placebo, benazepril, robenacoxib or benazepril plus robenacoxib. In study 2, all dogs received additionally 2 mg/kg furosemide orally twice daily. The primary endpoint was the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated from the plasma clearance of iohexol. Secondary endpoints included standard clinical monitoring and, in study 2, plasma renin activity, urine volume, specific gravity and aldosterone concentration and water intake. Administration of furosemide induced diuresis, reduced GFR and activated the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system. Benazepril and robenacoxib, administered alone or in combination, were tolerated well, did not decrease GFR with or without co-administration of furosemide and significantly reduced urinary aldosterone concentrations. No increased risk of acute kidney injury was identified with the combination of benazepril and robenacoxib in healthy dogs. Different effects might occur in dogs with heart or renal disease.

Abstract
Salt sensitivity of arterial pressure (salt-sensitive hypertension) is a serious global health issue. The causes of salt-sensitive hypertension are extremely complex and mathematical models can elucidate potential mechanisms that are experimentally inaccessible. Until recently, the only mathematical model for long-term control of arterial pressure was the model of Guyton and Coleman; referred to as the G-C model. The core of this model is the assumption that sodium excretion is driven by renal perfusion pressure, the so-called 'renal function curve'. Thus, the G-C model dictates that all forms of hypertension are due to a primary shift of the renal function curve to a higher operating pressure. However, several recent experimental studies in a model of hypertension produced by the combination of a high salt intake and administration of angiotensin II, the AngII-salt model, are inconsistent with the G-C model. We developed a new mathematical model that does not limit the cause of salt-sensitive hypertension solely to primary renal dysfunction. The model is the first known mathematical counterexample to the assumption that all salt-sensitive forms of hypertension require a primary shift of renal function: we show that in at least one salt-sensitive form of hypertension the requirement is not necessary. We will refer to this computational model as the 'neurogenic model'. In this Symposium Review we discuss how, despite fundamental differences between the G-C model and the neurogenic model regarding mechanisms regulating sodium excretion and vascular resistance, they generate similar haemodynamic profiles of AngII-salt hypertension. In addition, the steady-state relationships between arterial pressure and sodium excretion, a correlation that is often erroneously presented as the 'renal function curve', are also similar in both models. Our findings suggest that salt-sensitive hypertension is not due solely to renal dysfunction, as predicted by the G-C model, but may also result from neurogenic dysfunction.
