Salbutamol Modulation of Ion Transport in Sheep Parietal Pleura Is Protein Dependent
(2011)
The formation of pleural effusion during pulmonary edema is an important physiological mechanism of resolution of alveolar flooding. In cases of pulmonary edema resulting from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) ...
VEGF increases the permeability of sheep pleura ex vivo through VEGFR2 stimulation
(2014)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine that increases vascular permeability to water and proteins and induces angiogenesis, has been implicated in the development of pleural effusions. Inflammatory and ...
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 ...
Handedness, asthma and allergic disorders: Is there an association?
(2002)
Left-handedness has often been associated with asthma and allergic disorders. In view of previous findings, we investigated the distribution of laterality scores, using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory, among 172 children. ...
Left-handedness and inheritance of bronchial asthma
(2000)
A statistically significant difference in mean laterality quotients of 15 asthmatic and 106 nonasthmatic children showed a coexistence of left-handedness and asthma early in life. It is suggested that this phenomenon is ...
Rapid effect of progesterone on transepithelial resistance of human fetal membranes: Evidence for non-genomic action
(2008)
1. The factors that regulate human fetal membrane transport mechanisms are unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of progesterone on transepithelial electrical resistance (R-TE) in the human ...
TNF alpha induces expression of HIF-1 mRNA and protein but inhibits hypoxic stimulation of HIF-1 alpha transcriptional activity in airway smooth muscle cells
(2013)
Airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) participate in tissue remodeling characteristic of airway inflammatory diseases like asthma. Inflammation and hypoxia pathways are often interconnected and the regulatory subunit of the ...
