Chronically infusing a subpressor dose of angiotensin (Ang) II increases blood pressure via poorly defined mechanisms. We found that this hypertensive response is accompanied by increased oxidant stress and is prevented by blocking endothelin (ET) receptors. Thus, we now tested whether blocking oxidant stress decreases both blood pressure and ET levels. We infused Sprague-Dawley rats (via osmot...
BACKGROUND Recently, it has been shown that increasing body mass index (BMI) in asthma is associated with reduced exhaled NO. Our objective in this study was to determine if the BMI-related changes in exhaled NO differ across asthmatics and controls, and to determine if these changes are related to increased airway oxidative stress and systemic levels of leptin and adiponectin. METHODS Observ...
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency and secondary rises in parathyroid hormone (PTH) are highly prevalent in obese African-Americans. Endothelial dysfunction related to oxidative stress is more common in African-Americans compared to whites. Currently, the association of vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25-OH D) and PTH to nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) - nitrate and nitrite - and oxidative stress ...
BACKGROUND We used doxorubicin-based chemotherapy as a clinical model of oxidative assault in humans. METHODS The study recruited newly diagnosed breast cancer patients (n = 23). Urine samples were collected immediately before (T0) and at 1 hour (T1) and 24 hours (T24) after i.v. administration of treatment. Measurements included allantoin and the isoprostanes iPF(2alpha)-III, iPF(2alpha)-VI,...
In vitro and animal studies suggest that oxidative stress is associated with endothelial dysfunction. We tested whether local oxidative stress and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in the coronary circulation is associated with coronary endothelial dysfunction in humans. Blood samples were obtained simultaneously from the left main coronary artery and the coronary sinus for measurement of F2-is...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder affecting almost exclusively females, caused in the overwhelming majority of the cases by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2). High circulating levels of oxidative stress (OS) markers in patients suggest the involvement of OS in the RTT pathogenesis. To investigate the occurrence of oxidat...
During these last years, oxidative stress has been implicated in various pathological situations. The difficulty is to choose a convenient marker to appreciate its importance in vivo because of analytical problems of specificity and sensitivity. The oxidized lipids, formed during lipid peroxidation, illustrate these problems. Among these markers are ‘primary’ products such as hydroperoxides, or...
Dietary polyunsaturated fats and vitamin E are associated with reduced risk for atherosclerosis, but in smokers, they could promote lipid oxidation. Therefore, we examined the effects of a high polyunsaturated fat diet and vitamin E supplementation on measures of lipid oxidation in cigarette smokers. Ten subjects who smoked >1 pack of cigarettes per day were sequentially fed the following: a ba...
34 Pre-eclampsia represents a state of increased or prolonged vasoconstriction, partially 35 linked to the potent vasocontractile effect of isoprostanes. The process of Rho A– 36 mediated calcium sensitization is inherent to a state of prolonged contractility in many 37 smooth muscle types. The aims of this study were 1), to investigate mRNA expression 38 levels of Rho A and Rho kinase isoforms...
