There is a history of heart disease in the Riordan family, so it is appropriate that the Foundation is supporting PhD students working on projects related to heart disease at the Baker Heart Research Institute.

Flora Socratous: Sympathetic activation in chronic renal disease: role of the novel
soluble monoamine oxidase "renalase". Renalase is a protein that is
secreted into the blood by the kidneys. It circulates as an inactive
plasma amine oxidase known as prorenalase and is activated by excess
catecholamines to renalase. Renalase metabolises excess circulating
catecholamines. In vivo,renalase lowers blood pressure by decreasing
cardiac contractility and heart rate. Chronic kidney disease patients
have increased levels of catecholamines and are deficient in renalase. |
