Abstract Background High fat diet (HFD) induces insulin resistance in various tissues, including the vasculature. HFD also increases plasma levels of TNF-α, a cytokine that ...

In 18 dogs, previously anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital for the surgical preparation, catheterism and monitoring, the action of sodium pentobarbital (7.5 mg/kg) and enflurane (1.5 - 2%) in the liver circulation was ...

The hemodynamic characteristics of 11 normotensive gravidas with idiopathic fetal growth retardation (FGR), were compared with 11 controls of similar age, parity and body size. At weeks 36-38 of gestation, plasma volume ...

The objective of the present study was to assess the effects of the immunosuppressant rapamycin (Rapamune®, Sirolimus) on both resistance vessel responsiveness and atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient 8-week-old ...

Aim: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has dual pathways to angiotensin II production; therefore, multiple blockages may be useful in heart failure. In this study, we evaluated the short-term haemodynamic ...

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and degenerative joint disease. Strength training is essential for the treatment of knee OA; however, high intensity training may have consequences that lead to low ...
