Estrogen modulates responses of atherosclerotic coronary arteries.
Although evidence indicates that estrogen replacement therapy reduces risk of coronary heart disease, the mechanism remains unknown. Among the possibilities are that estrogen replacement therapy may 1) inhibit growth of atherosclerotic plaque and 2) decrease the prevalence of transient myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction by modulating vasomotion in atherosclerotic coronary arteries. U...
متن کاملSPOTLIGHT REVIEW Biological responses in stented arteries
Vascular walls change their dimension and mechanical properties in response to injury such as balloon angioplasty and endovascular stent implantation. Placement of bare metal stents induces neointimal proliferation/restenosis which progresses through different phases of repair with time involving a cascade of cellular reactions. These phases just like wound healing comprise distinct steps consi...
متن کاملIntegrative and adaptive responses.
Darwin is considered the father of modern evolutionary biology by recognizing the importance of integrative and adaptive structural and physiological responses in living organisms. In his textbook Principles of Biology (1864), Herbert Spencer succinctly stated the essence of Darwin’s theory of natural selection as “survival of the fittest”–terminology later adopted by Darwin. Two additional quo...
متن کاملVasodilator responses of coronary resistance arteries of exercise-trained pigs.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that vasodilator responses of porcine coronary resistance arteries are increased by exercise training. METHODS AND RESULTS Yucatan miniature swine were randomly divided into groups of exercise-trained (ET) and sedentary (SED) control pigs. ET pigs were placed on a progressive treadmill training program lasting 16 to 20 weeks, and...
متن کاملInfluence of mannitol on contractile responses of isolated perfused arteries.
The influence of hyperosmotic mannitol on vascular smooth muscle contractile responses was examined in isolated arterial preparations. Vasoconstrictor effects of norepinephrine (NE) and potassium chloride (K+) in the perfused central artery of the rabbit's ear and in perfused mesenteric arteries of cats were significantly inhibited by infusion with Krebs bicarbonate solution made hyperosmotic w...
