Sentence examples for modulate vascular reactivity from inspiring English sources

Although the mechanisms of the vascular effects are not fully understood, glucocorticoids modulate vascular reactivity to angiotensin II and to catecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline).

We have previously reported that MMP-2 can modulate vascular reactivity by cleavage of the Gly32-Leu33 bound in big endothelin-1 (ET-1) yielding a novel vasoactive peptide ET-1[1-32 ET-1[1-32 ET-1[1-32

Gelatinase A can also modulate vascular reactivity by reducing the vasodilatory potency of calcitonin gene-related peptide through cleavage of the Gly14-Leu15 bound (6) and by cleavage of the Gly32-Leu33 bound in big endothelin-1 (ET-1) to yield a novel vasoconstrictor peptide ET-1[1-32 ET-1[1-32 ET-1[1-32

It has been reported that several LPs such as lysophosphatidylcholin (LPC) exert significant effects on plasma membrane currents of endothelial as well as smooth muscle cells (Terasawa et al., 2002; Kuhlmannm et al., 2004) suggesting that LPs are capable of modulating vascular reactivity, predominantly by affecting ionic homeostasis in vascular cells.

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is fundamental to the resuscitation of brain injured patients, facilitating tissue oxygen delivery, helping to modulate cerebral vascular reactivity, and ensuring protection of the airway.

This study examined whether HD induced GDM modulates changes in vascular reactivity.

Being antioxidant, catechin is able to modulate cellular signaling pathways that lead to elevation of vascular reactivity, platelet aggregation, and reduction of inflammation [ 121– 121].

In vascular reactivity studies in aortas from vTP+ rabbits, removal of the endothelium enhanced the vasoconstrictor response to U46619 indicating that activation of endothelial TP receptors may modulate vascular tone via the release of the vasodilator, prostacyclin.

Tripathy, D. et al. Elevation of free fatty acids induces inflammation and impairs vascular reactivity in healthy subjects.

Ventilatory, hemodynamic, sympathetic nervous system, and vascular reactivity changes after recurrent nocturnal sustained hypoxia in humans.

Thus PASMC ET-1 may modulate vascular tone independently of ET-1 produced by EC.
