New Insights Into Mechanisms
Obesity is strongly associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Several central and peripheral abnormalities that can explain the development or maintenance of high arterial pressure in obesity have been identified. These include activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin–aldosterone system. Obesity is also associated with endothelial dysfunction and ren...
متن کاملO-28: New Insights into the Mechanisms UnderlyingChlamydia Trachomatis Infection InducedFemale Infertility
Background: Chlamydia (C.) trachomatis is an obligate intracellular gram-negative pathogen affecting over 600 million people worldwide with 92 million new cases occurring globally each year. Genital C. trachomatis infection has been recognized as the most common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease leading to severe tubal damage, ectopic pregnancy, hydrosalpinx and infertility. However, the mec...
متن کاملNew insights into cardiac aging.
All animals have limited life spans, and work in a variety of organisms has established that caloric restriction results in increased longevity. For example, inbred female mice fed an ad libitum diet had an average life span of 27 months, whereas calorie-restricted mice fed a diet with 65% fewer calories had an average life span of 45 months.1 The mechanisms by which caloric restriction retards...
متن کاملInsights into the paracrine effects of uterine natural killer cells
Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are recruited into the uterus during establishment of the implantation and placentation of the embryo, and are hypothesized to regulate uterine spiral artery remodeling and angiogenesis during the initial stages of pregnancy. Failures in uNK cell activation are linked to diseases associated with pregnancy. However, the manner in which these cells interact with...
متن کاملVEGF secreted by mesenchymal stem cells mediates the differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells into endothelial cells via paracrine mechanisms
Stem cell therapy is a promising treatment strategy for ischemic diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) adhere to each other in the bone marrow cavity and in in vitro cultures. We have previously demonstrated that the adhesion between MSCs and EPCs is critical for MSC self‑renewal and their multi‑differentiation into osteoblasts and chondrocytes. In the ...
