Excited to share our teams most recent publication! 📝

.@staruschenko @Adrian__Zietara @USFHealthMed show how dietary potassium affects blood pressure differently in male and female SS rats, highlighting the importance of sex-specific responses in salt-sensitive hypertension and kidney function: insight.jci.org/articles/view/… @USF_HKRC

Our recent review with @RiegTimo and @Ruisheng_USF has just been published @AJPRenal "Gliflozins in Hypertension: Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Insights" journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Excited to take home one of the top posters last week for our groups work on opioids at VA research day 2025!

Great presenting our teams work today at Berkeley prep!

#APS2025 ETG pre-meeting started with the first talk given by @lashodya on the topic of terapheutic effects of essential amino acids in SS HTN. @APSPhysiology

Congratulations to the members of @USF_HKRC, Dr. Ganesh Halade and Dr. Alexander Staruschenko @staruschenko for the recognition of their research, which is one of the main missions of @USFHealth @USFHealthMed @USouthFlorida!

Our new study by @Adrian__Zietara @lashodya @MelissaLowe0803 @biyang_xu @_V_Levchenko_ @c_a_klemens @OPalygin just published @JCI_insight Potassium supplementation and depletion during development of salt-sensitive hypertension in male and female SS rats insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

Honored to be recognized with the USF Outstanding Research Achievement Award. I am grateful to my incredible team and collaborators who made this possible. @USouthFlorida @USFResearch @USFHealth @USF_HKRC

An absolute pleasure sharing our teams work on adolescent ozempic use and its effects in the kidney!
