pinacidil and Body Weight

pinacidil has been researched along with Body Weight in 8 studies

Pinacidil: A guanidine that opens POTASSIUM CHANNELS producing direct peripheral vasodilatation of the ARTERIOLES. It reduces BLOOD PRESSURE and peripheral resistance and produces fluid retention. (Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 31st ed)

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

"Chronic responses of systemic hemodynamics and blood pressure counterregulatory ("pseudo-tolerance") mechanisms were investigated in matched groups of patients with essential hypertension after 1 month of vasodilator therapy with pinacidil (a direct arterial dilator), prazosin (an alpha 1-adrenergic blocking drug) or captopril (an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor)."9.06Chronic effects of direct vasodilation (pinacidil), alpha-adrenergic blockade (prazosin) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (captopril) in systemic hypertension. ( Izzo, JL; Kallay, MC; Larrabee, PS; Licht, MR; Radke, KJ; Smith, RJ, 1987)
"Patients with essential hypertension were randomized to treatment with either prazosin or pinacidil, a new direct-acting vasodilator."9.06Comparative effects of pinacidil and prazosin on blood pressure, weight, plasma volume, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and the renal kallikrein-kinin system in patients with essential hypertension. ( Solomon, RJ; Weinberg, MS, 1987)
"Ten patients with mild to moderate hypertension were treated for 9 weeks with a tablet formulation of pinacidil."7.67Pinacidil monotherapy for hypertension. ( Ward, JW, 1984)
