The 5-HT1A receptor and recognition memory possible modulation of its behavioral effects by the nitrergic system
(2005)Functional activation of the 5-HT1A receptor inhibits cognition, although discrepant findings have also been reported. The present study was designed to investigate the role of the 5-HT1A receptor on recognition memory in ... -
Adipokines as mediators of endothelial function and atherosclerosis
(2013)For many decades, adipose tissue was considered as an inactive body compartment that was only used as an energy store. During the recent years, an increasing amount of data has revealed that adipose tissue is a major ... -
Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphic variant as a marker of coronary artery disease - A meta-analysis
(2008)Background: Many studies have investigated the association between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion(I)/deletion (D) polymorphic variant and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the evidence is ... -
Animal models in peritoneal dialysis
(2015)Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been extensively used over the past years as a method of kidney replacement therapy for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). In an attempt to better understand the properties of the ... -
Arginase type I as a marker of coronary heart disease in hemodialysis patients
(2011)Cardiovascular disease, and mainly coronary heart disease (CHD), is the leading cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Non-traditional risk factors may play an important role in this population. Arginase is known ... -
Correlating functional staging to effective treatment of acute surgical illness
(2001)Background: Proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory events may eventually trigger host response, which acting via a broad spectrum of complex biological processes and molecular interactions may either enhance or resolve the ... -
Effect of CRH on NO bioavailability, ROS production and antioxidant defense systems in endothelial EAhy926 cells
(2010)Local or 'Immune' Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH) is secreted in peripheral tissues and plays a direct immunomodulatory role as an endocrine or paracrine mediator of inflammation. The present study was undertaken to ... -
The effect of muscle-damaging exercise on blood and skeletal muscle oxidative stress: Magnitude and time-course considerations
(2008)The aim of this article is to present the effects of acute muscle-damaging exercise on oxidative stress/damage of animal and human tissues using a quantitative approach and focusing on the time-course of exercise effects. ... -
Endothelial NO synthase gene polymorphisms and hypertension - A meta-analysis
(2006)Studies investigated the association between endothelial NO synthase gene polymorphisms and hypertension-reported contradicted or nonconclusive results. A meta-analysis of 35 genetic association studies that examined the ... -
Experimental transmission of Enteromyxum leei Diamant, Lom and Dykova, 1994 in sharpsnout sea bream, Diplodus puntazzo C. and the effect on some innate immune parameters
(2006)Enteromyxum leei has been implicated in outbreaks in sharpsnout sea bream, causing a serious economic impact on Mediterranean fish fanning. Information about transmission and life cycles of marine myxosporea is limited to ... -
In vitro responsiveness of human post-menopausal myometrium to endothelin-1 and ovarian steroids
(2005)It has been shown in vitro that endothelin 1 (ET1) differentially affects the human myometrial contractility according to the hormonal profile of women. Our purpose was to test the hypothesis that ovarian steroids influence ... -
Increased HIF-1 alpha immunostaining in psoriasis compared to psoriasiform dermatitides
(2009)Background Expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) alpha can be linked to inflammation through reciprocal interactions with several cytokines. This finding is in accordance with the previously noted HIF-1 alpha ... -
Non-genomic effect of testosterone on airway smooth muscle
(2006)Background and purpose: Recent studies on blood vessels have provided evidence that testosterone may exert direct effects on smooth muscle. However, an acute effect on airway reactivity has not been shown yet. The aim of ... -
Predominantly post-transcriptional regulation of activation molecules in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: The case of transferrin receptors
(2008)Transcriptional and post-transcriptional control mechanisms have a differential impact on cellular physiology depending on activation status. Several lines of evidence suggest that chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) malignant ... -
REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE MODULATORY ROLE OF THE EPITHELIUM IN SHEEP AIRWAY
(2009)P>The airway epithelium may modulate smooth muscle responsiveness via the release of biologically active substances, such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins. Based on regional differences in structure and function ... -
The Renal Endothelium in Diabetic Nephropathy
(2013)Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by generalized endothelial dysfunction. However, recent data also emphasizes the role of local renal endothelium ... -
Resting tension affects eNOS activity in a calcium- dependent way in airways
(2007)The alteration of resting tension (RT) from 0.5 g to 2.5 g increased significantly airway smooth muscle contractions induced by acetylcholine (ACh) in rabbit trachea. The decrease in extracellular calcium concentration ... -
Resting tension effect on airway smooth muscle: the involvement of epithelium
(2005)We studied the influence of resting tension (RT) on rabbit tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) contractions induced by acetylcholine or KCl as well as the role of epithelium and the endogenously produced nitric oxide, prostanoids ... -
Somatostatin analogues as therapeutics in retinal disease
(2009)Despite the rapid development of new pharmacological and surgical modalities, the treatment of retinal disease all too often results in poor final visual acuity. The primary pathologic mechanism underlying suboptimal visual ...
