Effect of Inflammation in Pregnancy on Maternal and Offspring Cardiovascular Systems
… increased risk of future maternal and offspring cardiovascular disease (CVD). Murine studies have revealed that inflammatory pregnancies are associated with the acquisition of risk factors for CVD, but not overt disease. Therefore, a second inflammatory stimulus, such as one induced by a high fat …

Alterations of central dopamine receptor sensitivity in the spontaneously hypertensive rat
… these animals which have been unrelated to their cardiovascular systems. A few of these studies have indicated possible abnormalities in the dopaminergic systems of SHR. Therefore the present study was undertaken to examine more closely the sensitivity of SHR to stimulation of their dopamine (DA) …

The metabolic rate of Xenopus laevis: Interactional influences of development and short term hypoxia
… change in the ability of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems to transport oxygen or a change in tissue demand for oxygen may be reflected in the aerobic metabolic rate (MO{dollar}\sb2{dollar}). This study focuses on how MO{dollar}\sb2{dollar} of the South African clawed frog (Xenopus …

LONG-COVID AND COGNITION
… virus that can harm the body’s respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Directly related to COVID-19 are individuals who do not recover from their initial infection, making them long haulers. Long-COVID is transitioning from a range of isolated phenomena to higher prevalence rates in patients who …

Digital simulation of the neonate cardiovascular and pulmonary systems
A digital simulation of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems of a newborn infant was developed and tested. More specifically, the model was designed to emulate the blood gas chemistry of the neonate and it's effect on respiratory stimulus, cardiac output and Ductus Arteriosus shunting. …

Regulation of Foxc2 Expression and Function During Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition By Gsk-3Β
… including the formation of lymphatic and cardiovascular systems. Previous studies have shown that FOXC2 protein is localized either in the nucleus and/or in the cytoplasm of human breast tumor cells. This pattern of localization is similar to that of another forkhead family member, FOXO3a. …

Understanding Autonomic Control via Human Deep Brain Stimulation
… on the control of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems both alone and in combination in the context of exercise. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a type of therapy in patients in which electrodes are inserted into the brain to treat neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s …

Exercise in artificial gravity
… flight deconditioning of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, by combining centrifugation with lower-body exercise. The exercise device is a small stair-stepper with constant resistance provided by dampers beneath each foot, and is the first such device to be used in centrifuge studies. …

Cardiovascular Outcomes Following Xenobiotic Pulmonary Exposures
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality in the developed world. Over the past decades, investigations have demonstrated that pulmonary exposure to xenobiotic particulate matter promotes and exacerbates cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction. The impact of …

Human physiological and biomechanical responses to vibration exercise
… exercise with vibration. Human neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems were investigated using 3D motion analysis, near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS), laser Doppler blood flow analysis and electromyography (EMG). Analysis of a prototype vibrating stationary cycle identified significant increases …

Advanced in vivo imaging of the interactions between vascular and renal development in the zebrafish pronephric kidney
… investigated the interplay between renal and cardiovascular systems during nephrogenesis at the level of the blood filter. METHODOLOGY Owing to the optical transparency and rapid external development of the embryo, the zebrafish provides a research model for advanced imaging technologies, …

Allostatic Load in Relation to Periodontal Disease, Tooth Loss, and Mortality: Findings from the 1914 Glostrup Aging Study
… than span the metabolic, inflammatory, and cardiovascular systems, I developed a composite measure of allostatic load (AL) at age 80, defined as the cumulative biological damage that results from a whole-body adaptation to chronic stress. First, I identified social and behavioral predictors …

Insight into the Local Solvent Environment of Biologically Relevant Iron-nitroysl Systems through Two-Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy
Iron-nitrosyl systems, particularly in the form of heme proteins, with their iron metal active sites play an important role in biological systems. Heme proteins act as storage, transporters, and receptors for nitric oxide (NO), a signaling molecule that is important in immune, nervous, and …

Hormones, Simulated Microgravity and Hypergravity affect Bone and other Physiological Systems in Zebrafish Larvae
… cardiavascular, and nuclear receptor systems are affected, however often in opposite directions in clinorotation compared to the two other devices. Based on the effects on bone formation and on the biological functions found to be affected, we conclude that clinorotation is the most …

Extending Function and Applications of Isolated Cardiopulmonary Systems
… basic physiological knowledge we have about the cardiovascular system and is a primary gateway between ideas and clinical treatment. Advances in cardiac physiology, surgery, transplantation, pacing, defibrillation, ablation, and pharmacology are derived from this area of research. The work …

Time-frequency investigation of heart rate variability and cardiovascular system modeling of normal and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) subjects
… in the heart rate variability field and the cardiovascular regulation system in normal and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) subjects. It explores the correlations between heart rate variability and cardiovascular regulation, which interact through complex multiple feedback and …
