This study was performed to evaluate the effects on mechanical and metabolic function of endogenous endothelin-1 on post-ischaemic myocardial stunning. Isolated rat hearts were given BQ-123 (710 nM) or vehicle alone before ...

Levels of endothelins are particularly high in the lung, and there is evidence that these peptides are involved in asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with lymphocyte infiltration. In the present ...

IRL1620, a specific endothelin ET(B) receptor agonist, induced relaxation followed by contraction in the guinea-pig ileum, as did endothelin-1. Both components of the response were concentration-dependent in the range ...

This work describes a methodology developed for performing the extraction, detection and quantification of Ra-228 in waters, suspended solids and sediments. The technique proved to be useful for analyzing samples from the ...

O presente estudo investigou os efeitos nociceptivo, hiperalgésico e edematogênico de [endotelinas] (ETs) injetadas por via intraplantar na pata de camundongos. Além disso, avaliou a contribuição das ETs endógenas para a ...

This paper reports the natural radioactivity of Brazilian igneous rocks that are used as dimension stones, following the trend of other studies on the evaluation of the risks to the human health caused by the rocks ...

Endothelins (ETs) are involved in inflammatory events, including pain, fever, edema, and cell migration. ET-1 levels are increased in plasma and synovial membrane of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, but the evidence ...
