https://www.selleckchem.com/products/vh298.html Background Plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been reported to be a predictive biomarker for therapeutic effectiveness of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in heart failure. Higher plasma FGF23 levels have been shown in pediatric primary hypertension, but the predictive value of FGF23 for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors' effectiveness in pediatric primary hypertension has not been documented. Methods and Results This is a prospective study. An exploratory study with 139 patients was first conducted to determine the cutoff value of FGF23 for the prediction of treatment responsiveness. After receiving fosinopril for 4 weeks, of all 139 patients, 91 responded, while 48 did not respond to the treatment, and the responders had a significantly higher baseline plasma FGF23 level than nonresponders (P62.08 RU/mL was significantly higher than that in children (n=18) with FGF23 ≤62.08 RU/mL (P less then 0.05). Conclusions Plasma FGF23 might be a valuable biomarker to guide fosinopril therapy for primary hypertension in children.Background Preeclampsia is pregnancy specific, involving significant maternal endothelial dysfunction. Predictive biomarkers are lacking. We evaluated the biomarker potential, expression, and function of PSG7 (pregnancy-specific β-1 glycoprotein 7) and PSG9 (pregnancy-specific β-1 glycoprotein 9) in preeclampsia. Methods and Results At 36 weeks gestation preceding term preeclampsia diagnosis, PSG7 and PSG9 (in Australian cohorts of n=918 and n=979, respectively) were significantly increased before the onset of term preeclampsia (PSG7, P=0.013; PSG9, P=0.0011). In samples collected at 28 to 32 weeks from those with preexisting cardiovascular disease and at high risk of preeclampsia (Manchester Antenatal Vascular Service, UK cohort, n=235), both PSG7 and PSG9 were also significantly increased preceding preeclampsia onset (PSG7, P less then 0.0001; PSG9, P=0.0003) relative to cont
