Targeting pro-inflammatory mediators to treat visceral pain
Visceral pain is a prominent cause of morbidity in gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but many current analgesics produce GI side effects. To develop much needed, novel treatments, further understanding of the pro-inflammatory …

THE ASSOCIATION OF VISCERAL ADIPOSE TISSUE WITH PULSE PRESSURE
Background: Obesity and aortic stiffness (AS) contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Central obesity as measured by VAT is thought to be a more specific measure of deleterious adiposity independent of body mass index (BMI). However, the nature of the relationship between VAT and AS in …
