Role of vasopressin in support of blood pressure in potassium deficient rats. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) has been found to contribute to the maintenance of blood pressure (BP) in the rat. Since potassium deficiency results in alterations in systemic hemodynamics, the role of AVP in the control ...
Salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in individuals with or without hypertension. However, the mechanisms and management of SSBP remain unclear, mainly because the diagnosis of this condition relies on salt loading–depletion protocols that...
A missing or faulty protein causes this inherited disease. The body needs this protein for blood to clot normally. So, people with this condition often have excessive bleeding and bruising. Doctors treat it with medicines that replace the missing protein or make cells release more of it. Hemophi...
promote oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) differentiation, and induce polarization of astrocytic endfeet [11]. Pericyte-deficient adult brains display ongoing angiogenic sprouting without concomitant
A discussion of arteriosclerosis and exogenous agents that can modulate this condition is presented below. There exist a large variety of compounds, some of which are noted below, that evoke toxic responses within the arterial intima. These compounds are of interest not only because some humans ...
Salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in individuals with or without hypertension. However, the mechanisms and management of SSBP remain unclear, mainly because the diagnosis of this condition relies on salt loading–depletion protocols that...
The three main causes of the illness are inadequate or faulty production of red blood cells, a high rate of destruction of red blood cells, and excessive bleeding. Megaloblastic anemia is one type of faulty red cell production. The condition of anemia has a wide range; it may be mild and...
Dogs in both groups were monitored for a decrease in hemoglobin concentration or deterioration in physical condition at which time they received additional oxygen-carrying support. If additional oxygen-carrying support was needed, Oxyglobin-treated dogs received PRBCs (n = 1), and untreated control ...
The CLDN5 gene encodes claudin-5 (CLDN-5) that is expressed in endothelial cells and forms tight junctions which limit the passive diffusions of ions and solutes. The blood–brain barrier (BBB), composed of brain microvascular endothelial cells and assoc
We directly incubated the enzyme at 37 °C with blood samples collected from the Blood Bank to perform G6PD activity assay and blood smears and we measured that the enzyme can hydrolyze the fucose from H antigens in that condition. Altogether, we propose FucOB as a promising biotechnological...
