N-type Calcium Channel Inhibition With Cilnidipine Elicits Glomerular Podocyte Protection Independent of Sympathetic Nerve Inhibition

N-type Calcium Channel Inhibition With Cilnidipine Elicits Glomerular Podocyte Protection Independent of Sympathetic Nerve Inhibition

We recently demonstrated that cilnidipine, an L/N-type calcium channel blocker, elicits protective effects against glomerular podocyte injury, in particular, in obese hypertensive rats that express the N-type calcium channel (N-CC). Since the N-CC is known to be expressed in sympathetic nerve ending...
