Modification of phenylephrine induced contraction of human vessel rings by L-arginine and L-arginine methyl ester Influencia del sistema nitridérgico en la respuesta contráctil a fenilefrina de anillos de vasos usados en revascularización coronaria
(2007)
Background: Endothelial dysfunction is associated to a lower production of nitric oxide and a reduction of endothelium mediated vasodilation. Aim: To study the effects of pharmacological agents that modify nitric oxide ...
Lack of effect of diet-induced hypomethylation on endothelium-dependent relaxation in rats
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2008-12)
Background: Endothelial dysfunction is a key process in atherosclerosis. Hypomethylation is one of the postulated mechanisms involved in atherogenesis and is mainly secondary to a decrease in essential factors such as, ...
Histamine reduces gap junctional communication of human tonsil high endothelial cells in culture
(Academic Press Inc., 2004)
The regulation of gap junctional communication by histamine was studied in primary cultures of human tonsil high endothelial cells
(HUTECs). We evaluated intercellular communication, levels, state of phosphorylation, and ...
Clinical features and possible founder mutation of the 8bp duplication mutation in the SLC4A11 gene causing corneal dystrophy and perceptive deafness in three South American families
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2019)
Background: Corneal Dystrophy and Perceptive Deafness (CDPD) or Harboyan syndrome is an autosomal recessive rare disorder, characterized by congenital corneal opacities and progressive sensorineural hearing loss, which ...
Impaired Nitric Oxide Mediated Vasodilation In The Peripheral Circulation In The R6/2 Mouse Model Of Huntington's Disease
(Nature, 2016)
Recent evidence shows that the Huntington's disease (HD) extends beyond the nervous system to other sites, including the cardiovascular system. Further, the cardiovascular pathology pre-dates neurological decline, however ...
Subclinical endothelial inflammation markers in a family with type i familial hyperaldosteronism caused by a de novo mutation Marcadores de inflamación endotelial subclínica en una familia con hiperaldosteronismo familiar tipo i por mutación de novo
(2008)
Background: Type I familial hyperaldosteronism is caused by the presence of a chimaeric gene CYP11B1/CYP11B2 which encodes an enzyme with aldosterone synthetase activity regulated by a drenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). ...
Inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in patients with chronic heart failure Inflamación y disfunción endotelial en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica
(2008)
Background: In chronic heart failure (CHF), endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a consequence of an imbalance of vascular tone regulating substances. The relationship between ED and inflammation has not been fully investigated. ...
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and its impact on vascular function.
(2011-10-21)
Recent studies of intervention in sedentary subjects, or those with neurological lesions, suggest that increased motor
activity (exercise/physical activity), performed at moderate intensities and habitually, could have ...
Brain vasculature disturbance in schizophrenia
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022)
Purpose of review The vascular hypothesis of schizophrenia (SZ) postulates that brain endothelial dysfunction contributes to brain pathophysiology. This review discusses recent evidence for and against this hypothesis, ...
Role of adenosine transport in gestational diabetes-induced L-arginine transport and nitric oxide synthesis in human umbilical vein endothelium
(2004)
Gestational diabetes is associated with increased L-arginine transport and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, and reduced adenosine transport in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Adenosine increases endothelial ...
