    Erythropoietin (ERO) is known to be the main regulator of proliferation and terminal dissociation of erythroid cells. Its receptors are expressed not only in hematopoietic cells but also in the tissues of the cardiovascular system. The aim of this work was to study specific features of circadian rhythm in erythropoietin synthesis and estimate the predictive informative value of serum ERO level variations as regards the risk of developing cardiovascular complications in patients with stage II essential arterial hypertension (EAH). ERO, neopterin, and interleukin-1 levels were measured in 200 such patients. It was shown that ERO levels increased (p < 0.001) compared with normal values (12.6 pg/ml, 95% CI 11.8-13.4 and 68 pg/ml, 95% CI 6.4-7.2 respectively). Analysis of circadian rhythm demonstrated that enhanced probability of complications in the absence of reduction of the ERO level at night time correlated with the decreased number of CD34 cells (p < 0.001) and the increased neopterin level (p < 0.001). It is concluded that these dependences suggest the necessity of further studies of yet unknown effects of ERO and ways of their application for the treatment of EAH.

    Chronopharmacokinetics: Circadian Rhythms and Influence on Drug Response

    Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
    The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

    Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis

    The cardiovascular system regulates the number of erythrocytes in the bloodstream to ensure optimal oxygen transport. It also prevents over-proliferation of these cells, which helps to maintain blood viscosity and flow rate.
    Several factors influence the erythrocyte production rate, with tissue oxygen level being among the most critical. Intense exercise or high altitudes can cause tissue hypoxia, which triggers the kidneys to release more erythropoietin (EPO) into the bloodstream.
    EPO then...

    Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure

    Endocrinal or hormonal intervention in the cardiovascular system is predominantly exerted by the catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine, as well as a slew of hormones that interact with renal function to modulate blood volume.
    Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
    The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction...

    Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

    The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

    Erythropoiesis

    Red blood cells  (RBCs) transport oxygen to all body tissues. These cells survive only for 120 days and then need to be replenished. Erythropoiesis is the process of RBC production. In healthy individuals, erythropoiesis ensures all tissues are amply supplied with oxygen. In addition, blood loss due to injury leads to a drop in the physiological oxygen level that will cause erythropoiesis. Any defect in erythropoiesis leads to several physiological disorders, including thalassemia, anemia,...
