It has been described renal damage in rats with vascular calcification. The organic anion transporter 5 (Oat5) is only expressed in kidney, and its urinary excretion was proposed as potential early biomarker of renal injury. ...

Background and aims: Recent in vitro studies have showed that in macrophages, deletion of the non-selective Ca2+-permeable channel TRPC3 impairs expression of the osteogenic protein BMP-2. The pathophysiological relevance ...

In vascular smooth muscle, calcium overload is linked to advancing age. The pharmacokinetics of Sulfanilamide (SA), a compound with antibacterial properties, was evaluated in a preclinical model of vascular calcification. ...

Purpose: Vascular F-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-18-FDG) uptake has been suggested as a means of identifying metabolically active atheroma, whereas vascular calcification is accepted as an indicator of atherosclerosis. ...

Background/Aim The literature on the pathogenesis of extrusive dental luxation has been focused on periodontal tissue responses, with little attention given to the pulp. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response ...

In the present study, we depict the structural modification of test minerals, physiological response and ovarian damage in the tropical sea urchin Salmacis virgulata using microcosm CO2 (Carbon dioxide) perturbation ...
