The body has mechanisms to alter or maintain blood pressure and blood flow. There are sensors that detect blood pressure in the walls of the arteries and send signals to the heart, the arterioles, the veins, and the kidneys that cause them to make changes that lower or increase blood pressu...
Blood pressure is a physiological output of multiple factors such as cardiac output, body fluid and salt balance, and vascular compliance, and all of these functions are under the neural control of the CNS. Earlier studies have provided evidences showing that obesity-related inflammation in ...
Next, we analyzed blood-based biomarkers of neuroinflammation and BBB dysfunction in the recovered and long COVID cohort using multiplex Luminex panels as done for the acute cohort (Extended Data Fig. 6a). We examined 50 markers of BBB integrity and inflammation. Several markers were increased acr...

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) protects neurons from factors present in the systemic circulation and maintains the highly regulated brain internal milieu, which is required for proper synaptic and neuronal functioning BBB breakdown facilitates entry into the brain of neurotoxic blood-derived products, ce...
A study conducted on the Japanese population revealed that a BMI ≥ 23 serves as a risk factor for insulin resistance (IR) [27]. IR, resulting from the accumulation of excessive lipids, leads to lipid deposition in various tissues, such as blood vessels, triggering inflammation in the ...
Whenever possible, the focus will be aimed at translation from animal models to humans and at the mechanisms of the observed circulatory changes. Effects of sleep-related respiratory derangements and sleep loss on the peripheral circulation will also be summarized. Show moreView chapter Reference work...
Blood streaks in sputum Bronchitisis an infection and inflammation of the airways. It is commonly caused by viruses likeinfluenza(the flu). You should be tested for and treated for the flu. Other causes go away on their own, but you may have symptoms for weeks. There is no specific treatm...
The normal range for your WBC is usually 4,500 to 11,000 cells per microliter. Your WBC is generally considered high if it is greater than 11,000 cells per microliter. Once you have your test results, your doctor will work with you to create the appropriate treatment plan, if necessary....
They also play pivotal roles in several physiological processes, including regulation of blood flow and permeability, transendothelial migration of circulating immune cells at the site of inflammation, and maintenance of vascular tone and hemostasis [16,17]. While ECs are aligned longitudinally, SMCs ...
