Catecholamine metabolism via monoamine oxidase (MAO) within myocardium of individuals with type 2 diabetes
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-23)The primary comorbidity and cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes is cardiovascular disease. The structural and the functional cardiac remodeling observed in patients with type 2 diabetes has been shown to be driven by a ... -
Role of neuronal nitric oxide in the regulation of vasopressin expression and release in response to inhibition of cathecholamine synthesis and dehydration
(East Carolina University, 2007-10-22)We used neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) gene knockout mice to study the effects of catecholamines and neuronal nitric oxide on vasopressin expression in the hypothalamic neurosecretory centers. nNOS gene deletion ... -
Use of monoamine oxidase and redox enzymes in atrial tissue as novel predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation
(East Carolina University, 2014)Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in approximately 30% of cardiac surgery patients. The complication occurs despite advances in surgical procedures. It is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and ...
