Ischemia Impairs Vasodilation in Skeletal Muscle Resistance Artery
… of chronic ischemia and age on skeletal muscle resistance artery function. To examine the impact of chronic ischemia, the femoral artery was resected from young (2-3mo) and adult (6-7mo) mice and the profunda femoris artery diameter was measured at rest and following gracilis muscle contraction …

Oxidant-dependent regulation of L-type calcium channel activity by angiotensin in vascular smooth muscle
Resistance arteries are a major point of physiological regulation of blood flow. Increases in vessel wall stress or sympathetic activity stimulate vascular wall angiotensin signaling, resulting in smooth muscle contraction which directly increases peripheral resistance. Calcium influx through …

The effect of metformin on vascular function and AMP-activated protein kinase activation in Type 2 diabetes
… are clinical states associated with insulin resistance and an increased risk of vascular disease. The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions and there is a growing need for new therapeutic targets. There is a significant body of research that demonstrates an …

Regulation of the myogenic response and stretch-induced calcium signaling in the vascular wall: Novel insights into the role of microRNAs and protein tyrosine kinase 2
Intraluminal pressure has a significant impact on vascular adaptability, phenotype and regulation of blood flow and pressure. On one hand, increased pressure/stretch for a prolonged time can cause structural changes in vessel wall; on the other hand, lack of pressure/stretch can promote a phenotype …

Vascular Endothelin and Angiotensin Receptors Regulation in Inflammatory Arterial Disorders
… receptor changes were studied in subcutaneous resistance arteries in patients with different degrees of ischemic heart disease (IHD). In addition, patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) were also investigated because of the massive inflammatory activity in affected vessels. For functional …
