PPAR-δ in Vascular Pathophysiology
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors belong to the superfamily of ligand-dependent nuclear receptor transcription factors, which include three subtypes: PPAR-alpha, beta/delta, and gamma. PPAR-delta, play important roles in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation as well as tissue wound and repair. Emerging evidence has also demonstrated that PPAR-delta is implicated in lipids ...
متن کاملVascular endothelial senescence: from mechanisms to pathophysiology.
Most mitotically competent mammalian cell types can react to stress by undergoing a phenotypically distinctive and permanent form of growth arrest called "cellular senescence." This response has been extensively characterized in cell culture and more recently it has been found to occur also in vivo in a number of tissues. In this review I will present the case for the occurrence of senescence i...
متن کاملCardiac and vascular pathophysiology in hypertension.
Hypertension is one the earliest recorded medical conditions (Nei Jin by Huang Ti around 2600BC); it has shaped the course of modern history and the consequences of hypertension (myocardial infarction, strokes, and heart failure) will soon be the leading global cause of death. Nevertheless, despite intensive research, the aetiology of hypertension remains obscure; only around 5% of cases have a...
متن کاملVascular calcification: pathophysiology and clinical implications
Vascular calcification in coronary artery disease is gaining importance, both in scientific research and in clinical and imaging applications. The calcified plaque is considered the most relevant form of atherosclerosis within the coronary artery tree and is frequently a challenge for percutaneous intervention. Recent studies showed that plaque calcification is dynamic and is strictly related t...
متن کاملPathophysiology of Vascular Remodeling in Hypertension
Vascular remodeling refers to alterations in the structure of resistance vessels contributing to elevated systemic vascular resistance in hypertension. We start with some historical aspects, underscoring the importance of Glagov's contribution. We then move to some basic concepts on the biomechanics of blood vessels and explain the definitions proposed by Mulvany for specific forms of remodelin...
