The role of the proximal small intestine in improvements in diabetes resolution and insulin sensitivity following bariatric surgery in type 2 diabetes
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Bariatric surgery is an effective, rapid, and durable treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) resolves T2DM in 80% of cases, while gastric banding (LAGB) resolves T2DM in ...
Apparatus and method for measuring physiological characteristics of an intact trachea in vitro
(2011-03-15)
Apparatus and methods for measuring smooth muscles responses (relaxation and contraction), transepithelial potential difference, and/or transepithelial impedance of an intact trachea in vitro. In particular embodiments, ...
DINITROBENZENES STIMULATE ELECTRON FLUX WITHIN NEURONAL NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE IN THE ABSENCE OF CALMODULIN
(2011)
Efficient electron transfer and conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline and nitric oxide
(NO●) by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) requires calmodulin (CaM) binding. The
present study focused on electron transfer ...
The influence of the level of physical activity and human development in the quality of life in survivors of stroke
(2011)
Background
The association between physical activity and quality of life in stroke survivors has not been analyzed within a framework related to the human development index. This study aimed to identify differences in ...
Coronary Artery Ligation and Intramyocardial Injection in a Murine Model of Infarction
(2011)
Mouse models are a valuable tool for studying acute injury and chronic remodeling of the myocardium in vivo. With the advent of genetic modifications to the whole organism or the myocardium and an array of biological and/or ...
Identification of cytosolic phosphodiesterases in the erythrocyte: A possible role for PDE5
(2011)
Background
Within erythrocytes (RBCs), cAMP levels are regulated by phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Increases in cAMP and ATP release associated with activation of β-adrenergic receptors (βARs) and prostacyclin receptors ...
