Assessment of Eccentric Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress Using Oxidation-Reduction Potential Markers
(2015)The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of static (sORP) and capacity ORP (cORP) oxidation-reduction potential markers as measured by the RedoxSYS Diagnostic System in plasma, for assessing eccentric ... -
Azithromycin has a direct relaxant effect on precontracted airway smooth muscle
(2006)Macrolides have been proven to have beneficial bacteriostatic and anti-inflammatory properties, but very little is known about the potential value of their bronchodilatory effect. Therefore, in the present study we ... -
Insulin NO-dependent action on airways smooth muscles
(2001)In order to find out how insulin acts on airway smooth muscle and which mechanisms could be involved, we studied the effect of insulin on contraction induced, first, by KCI and, second, by Acetylcholine (Ach), before and ... -
Magnesium as a relaxing factor of airway smooth muscles
(2001)in the search for effective treatment of a life-threatening asthma attack, intravenous magnesium infusion has been studied in asthmatic patients because of its potential effect to reverse bronchospasm and improve pulmonary ... -
Muscle and Tendon Tissues: Constitutive Modeling and Computational Issues
(2011)A three-dimensional constitutive model for muscle and tendon tissues is developed. Muscle and tendon are considered as composite materials that consist of fibers and the connective tissues and biofluids surrounding the ...
