objective(s): vascular calcification is one the major characteristics in patients with various types of chronic inflammatory disorders. mirnas have been shown to be involved in many normal biological functions as well as diseases; however, their role in vascular calcification has not received much attention. materials and methods: in the current study, we built a vascular calcification rat mode...

Moderate exercise elicits a relative postexercise hypotension that is caused by an increase in systemic vascular conductance. Previous studies have shown that skeletal muscle vascular conductance is increased postexercise. It is unclear whether these hemodynamic changes are limited to skeletal muscle vascular beds. The aim of this study was to determine whether the splanchnic and/or renal vascu...

Vascular tumors of bone are a heterogeneous group. Numerous terms have been introduced as well as different classification systems. None of the classification schemes have been accepted due to lack of consistent terminology, accepted histologic criteria, and limited correlation with clinical outcome. It is acknowledged that vascular tumors of bone originate from endothelial cells, resulting in ...

To determine fluid extravasation in the splanchnic vascular bed during anaphylactic hypotension, the mesenteric lymph flow (Q(lym)) was measured in anesthetized rats sensitized with ovalbumin, along with the systemic arterial pressure (P(sa)) and portal venous pressure (P(pv)). When the antigen was injected into the sensitized rats (n = 10), P(sa) decreased from 125 ± 4 to 37 ± 2 mmHg at 10 min...

Beta-carotene (BC) is a precursor of vitamin A and an excellent antioxidant. It protects the vascular system. Vascular dementia (VaD) one aging disorders causing memory dysfunction. The available medicines for management VaD are limited. present study aimed to evaluate ameliorative effect BC in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Diabetic was induced through administration nicotinamide ...
