Objective: To determine the efficacy of glycine propionyl-L-carnitine (GPLC) to decrease lipid peroxidation, elevate nitric oxide, and improve blood lipid profiles in human subjects. Methods: Thirty untrained, normolipidemic subjects performed eight weeks ...
Although calcium is an essential mineral for bones, little is known about its effect on inflammatory or oxidative regulation. We hypothesize that calcium plays the role in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) from ...
The purpose of this study was to verify the immune response induced by intake of orange juice or hesperidin on macrophages through the secretion of cytokines and nitric oxide. Mice were divided in three groups treated orally with orange juice, hesperidin, ...
Abstract. Protective effects of vitamin E (Vit E) on long term potentiation (LTP) impairment, neuronal apoptosis and increase of nitric oxide (NO) metabolites in the hippocampus of juvenile rats were examined. The rats were grouped (n=13) as: (1) control;...
Abstract. L-arginine is an important factor in several physiological and biochemical processes. Recently, scientists studied L-arginine effect on inflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and ...
Hintergrund: Vaskuläre glatte Muskelzellen (VSMC) spielen unter anderem eine wichtige Rolle in der Entwicklung restenotischer Läsionen. Obwohl einiges über die auslösenden Ereignisse bekannt ist, die zur Entwicklung der Restenose führen, ist wenig über ...
Hintergrund: Ziel der Studie war es, den Einfluß von Stickstoffmonoxid (NO) auf die durch basischen Fibroblastenwachstumsfaktor (bFGF) induzierte Migration von bovinen, glatten Gefäßmuskelzellen (VSMC) in vitro zu untersuchen.
Material und Methoden: Für ...
Background: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is regarded as an early step in the development of atherosclerosis. Recent experimental data showed a crosstalk between endothelial NO-synthase activity and thyrotropin production. Therfore we studied whether basal ...
Erhöhte Plasmakonzentrationen von Homocystein (Hyperhomocysteinämie) werden zunehmend als potentieller Risikofaktor für atherothrombotische Gefäßerkrankungen in epidemiologischen und klinischen Studien erkannt. Experimentelle Daten zeigen zunehmend ...
Background: Periodic whole body acceleration in the spinal axis (pGz) applied by a motion platform is a novel treatment modality that induced endothelial nitric oxide release into the circulation of animals, healthy subjects and patients with inflammatory ...
Abstract.Background: Individual shear rate therapy (ISRT) has been designed as a novel non-invasive treatment option for peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients and has been shown to improve endothelial function ...
Abstract. Far-infrared (FIR) is a form of thermal radiation, which may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. Clinical studies suggest that FIR irradiation may have therapeutic effects in heart failure, ...
Summary:Background: Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) are widely used as a first-line therapy for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Here, ACEI modulate the bradykinin ...
