(East Carolina University, 2013)Vascular growth disorders are the major contributing factor to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Aberrant vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth is a primary etiology ... -
Anti-growth properties of BAY 41-2272 in vascular smooth muscle cells
(East Carolina University, 2009-02)Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) growth is integral in the pathophysiology of blood vessel diseases, and identifying approaches that have capacity to regulate VSM growth is critically essential. Cyclic nucleotide signaling has ... -
Evidence for the presence of A1 adenosine receptors in the aorta of spontaneously hypertensive rats
(East Carolina University, 2001-12)1 Isolated aortic rings (endothelium-intact and -denuded) from spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were used in this study to examine the vasoactive e ects of various adenosine analogues. 2 In ...
