The Cardiovascular Response to Lower Body Negative Pressure in Humans Depends on Seal Location
May 01, 2009; ... Summary We tested whether seal location at iliac crest (IC) or upper abdomen (UA), before and during lower body negative pressure (LBNP), would affect thoracic electrical impedance, hepatic blood flow, and central cardiovascular responses to LBNP. After 30 min of supine rest, LBNP at -40 ...
The Effect of Pheochromocytoma Treatment on Subclinical Inflammation and Endocrine Function of Adipose Tissue
May 01, 2009; ... Summary The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of surgical removal of pheochromocytoma on the endocrine function of adipose tissue and subclinical inflammation as measured by circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Eighteen patients with newly diagnosed pheochromocytoma ...
Long-Term Effect of Losartan Administration on Blood Pressure, Heart and Structure of Coronary Artery of Young Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
May 01, 2009; ... Summary Alterations in geometry and structure of coronary arteries have marked consequences on blood flow to the respective area. We evaluated long-term effect of losartan on blood pressure (BP), heart weight/body weight (HW/BW), geometry and structure of septal branch of coronary artery ...
Red Wine Polyphenols Affect the Collagen Composition in the Aorta after Oxidative Damage Induced by Chronic Administration of CCl^sub 4^
May 01, 2009; ... Summary Increased amount of collagen type I and decreased amount of type III is described in various pathological processes in the vascular wall. Polyphenols were shown to have protective effect on endothelium, decrease blood pressure and prevent oxidative damage induced by various ...
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Suppresses Generalized Seizure Activity and Seizure-Triggered Postictal Cardiac Rhythm Changes in Rats
May 01, 2009; ... Summary In the present study, we investigated the effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), a proposed treatment for patients with intractable epilepsy, on cardiac rhythm following seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) in Wistar rats. After a baseline recording of ...
