Lactobacillus casei CRL 431 improves endothelial and platelet functionality in a pneumococcal infection model
(Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2019-05)
Streptococcus pneumoniae is able to activate coagulation and induce platelet aggregation, both of which are typical responses to systemic inflammation. The interactions between inflammation and coagulation and between ...
Oxidative stress in hypertensive patients induces an increased contractility in vein grafts independent of endothelial function
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011-08)
Objective. To evaluate the impact of oxidative stress on vascular reactivity to vasoconstrictors and on nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in saphenous vein (SV) graft with endothelial dysfunction from hypertensive patients ...
Differential Effect of Erythropoietin and Carbamylated Erythropoietin in Erythroid and Endothelial Cells
(Juniper Publishers, 2018-03)
This revision provides recent information regarding the signaling pathways involved in cell mechanisms induced by Epo and cEpo that could predict their differential effects on erythroid and endothelial cells as well as ...
Alteration of syncytiotrophoblast mitochondria function and endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression in the placenta of rural residents
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-06)
The impact of environmental organophosphate (OP) pesticide exposure on respiratory complexes, enzymatic antioxidant defense activities, and oxidative damage markers in the syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast mitochondria ...
Alterations in triglyceride rich lipoproteins are related to endothelial dysfunction in metabolic syndrome
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-08)
Our aim was to analyze the effect of circulating triglyceride rich lipoprotein (TRL) on endothelial function in metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods We studied 40 patients with MetS (ATPIII), divided into those presenting ...
Acidic preconditioning improves the proangiogenic responses of endothelial colony forming cells
(Springer, 2014-05)
Objective: Acidosis is present in several pathological conditions where vasculogenesis takes place including ischemia, tumor growth and wound healing. We have previously demonstrated that acidosis induces human CD34+ cell ...
Influence of chitosan coating on magnetic nanoparticles in endothelial cells and acute tissue biodistribution
(Vsp Bv, 2016-03)
Chitosan coating on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was studied on biological systems as a first step toward the application in the biomedical field as drug-targeted nanosystems. Composition of MNPs consists of magnetite ...
Endothelial dysfunction assessment by flow-mediated dilation in a high-altitude population
(Universidad Continental, 2017-09)
Introduction: Endothelial function at high altitude has been measured only in populations that are genetically adapted to chronic hypoxia. The objective of this study was to evaluate endothelial dysfunction (ED) in a ...
Targeted Anti-Inflammatory Peptide Delivery in Injured Endothelial Cells Using Dermatan Sulfate/Chitosan Nanomaterials
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
This work describes a novel delivery system for targeting egg-derived anti-inflammatory tripeptide Ile-Arg-Trp (IRW) to endothelial cells. The nanomedicine is synthesized by a simple and reproducible ionotropic gelification ...
Perinatal taurine exerts a hypotensive effect in male spontaneously hypertensive rats and down-regulates endothelial oxide nitric synthase in the aortic arch
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-01-13)
Essential hypertension is considered to be a result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors, including perinatal factors. Different advantageous perinatal factors proved to have beneficial long-lasting ...
