Vascular smooth muscle reactivity to norepinephrine in ovariectomized rats: Relationship to vascular PGE2/PGF2α ratio
(1995)
1. 1. We have recently demonstrated that, in normal female rats, vascular reactivity (VR) and vascular prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) and prostacyclin production are influenced by the ovarian cycle. 2. 2. In this study, we ...
Influence of the estrous cycle on the norepinephrine-induced contraction of rat aorta: Relationship to vascular prostanoids biosynthesis
(1994)
Since ovarian sex steroids (estradiol and progesterone) may affect both blood pressure and prostanoids synthesis, and because prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) and prostacyclin (PGI2) can modulate the vascular action of pressor ...
Analysis of the inflammatory response in endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-03-01)
Objective: the objective of this study is to evaluate the inflammatory response caused by endovascular stents in the treatment of aortic aneurysms. Methods: Twenty-five patients underwent endovascular stent treatment from ...
Anti-contractile effects of perivascular adipose tissue in thoracic aorta from rats fed a high-fat diet: role of aerobic exercise training
(2018-03-01)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise training on perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) function in thoracic aorta from rats fed a high-fat diet. Aortic vascular reactivity was performed ...
Antioxidant treatment reduces matrix metalloproteinase-2-induced vascular changes in renovascular hypertension
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2009)
Mounting evidence indicates that structural and functional vascular changes associated with two-kidney, one-clip (2K-1C) hypertension result, at least in part, from altered activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). ...
Spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide exert antioxidant effects and reduce vascular matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity and expression in a model of renovascular hypertension
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
Background and purpose: Increased oxidative stress and up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may cause structural and functional vascular changes in renovascular hypertension. We examined whether treatment with ...
Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate down-regulates vascular matrix metalloproteinases and ameliorates vascular dysfunction and remodelling in renovascular hypertension
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mounting evidence implicates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in the vascular dysfunction and remodelling associated with hypertension. We tested the hypothesis that treatment with pyrrolidine ...
Effect of melatonin on vascular reactivity in pancreatectomized rats
(Elsevier, 2004-05)
The present study was undertaken to assess whether the improvement of contractile performance of aortic rings by melatonin described in streptozotocin diabetic rats also occurs in another model of type I diabetes, the ...
Reactivity of mesenteric and aortic rings from trained rats fed with high caloric diet
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-07-01)
A strong association between the benefits of physical exercise on the cardiovascular disease with an improvement of the endothelium-derived relaxing factor production has been consistently shown. The purpose of this study ...
