Normal glucose uptake in the brain and heart requires an endothelial cell-specific HIF-1α-dependent function.
Although intimately positioned between metabolic substrates in the bloodstream and the tissue parenchymal cells that require these substrates, a major role of the vascular endothelium in the regulation of tissue metabolism has not been widely appreciated. We hypothesized that via control of transendothelial glucose transport and contributing paracrine mechanisms the endothelium plays a major ro...
متن کاملDetermination the Role of Endothelial Cell-Specific Molecule-1(ESM-1) in Childhood Bronchial Asthma
Background Endothelial Cell-Specific Molecule-1 (ESM-1) is a 50 kDa soluble proteoglycan that is produced mainly the vascular endothelial cells of the kidney and lung. It is produced by the effects of proangiogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and it indicates activation and dysfunction of the vascular endothelium. We aimed to detect the role of ESM-1 in childre...
متن کاملHIF-1: an age-dependent regulator of lens cell proliferation.
PURPOSE The lens grows throughout life, and lens size is a major risk factor for nuclear and cortical cataracts. A previous study showed that the hypoxic environment around the lens suppressed lens growth in older rats. The present study was conducted to investigate the mechanism responsible for the age-dependent decline in lens cell proliferation. METHODS Transgenic mice expressing Cre recom...
متن کاملEffect of various blood glucose levels on regional FDG uptake in the brain
Objective(s): Studies have mainly assessed the effect of hyperglycemia on18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the brain. In this study, we assessed the FDG uptake of the brain not only in normo- and hyperglycemia but also in hypoglycemia to compare the effect of various blood glucose levels on regional FDG uptake in the brain. Methods: </...
متن کاملSpecific role of impaired glucose metabolism and diabetes mellitus in endothelial progenitor cell characteristics and function.
The disease burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its associated cardiovascular complications represent a growing and major global health problem. Recent studies suggest that circulating exogenous endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an important role in endothelial repair and neovascularization at sites of injury or ischemia. Both experimental and clinical studies have demonstrated that hyp...
