Augmented coronary vascular smooth muscle response to endothelin-1 exacerbates cardiac injury following pulmonary exposure to engineered nanomaterials
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and 60-carbon fullerenes (C60) are important engineered nanoparticles (ENP) used across industry. Exposure to ENP potentially promotes cardiovascular detriments. The hypotheses that ...
Circadian influences on myocardial infarction
(2014-10-30)
Components of circadian rhythm maintenance, or “clock genes,” are endogenous entrainable oscillations of about 24 h that regulate biological processes and are found in the suprachaismatic nucleus (SCN) and many peripheral ...
Cardiovascular Outcomes Following Xenobiotic Pulmonary Exposures
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-06)
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 ...
