Loss of Caveolae, Vascular Dysfunction, and Pulmonary Defects in Caveolin-1 Gene-Disrupted Mice
Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations that may play an important role in numerous cellular processes including transport, signaling, and tumor suppression. By targeted disruption of caveolin-1,… Expand

Periadventitial fat releases a vascular relaxing factor
Virtually all blood vessels are surrounded by adventitial fat. Adipocytes produce a host of vasoactive substances that may influence vascular contraction. We tested whether or not perivascular… Expand

Activation of the peripheral endocannabinoid system in human obesity.
Obesity is the main risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Activation of the central endocannabinoid system increases food intake and promotes weight gain. Blockade of the cannabinoid… Expand

Increased Vascular Smooth Muscle Contractility in TRPC6−/− Mice
ABSTRACT Among the TRPC subfamily of TRP (classical transient receptor potential) channels, TRPC3, -6, and -7 are gated by signal transduction pathways that activate C-type phospholipases as well as… Expand

Electron beam computed tomography in the evaluation of cardiac calcification in chronic dialysis patients.
The purpose of this study was to assess the value of electron beam computed tomography in the detection of cardiac calcifications in coronaries and valves of dialysis patients and to determine the… Expand

Patients with preeclampsia develop agonistic autoantibodies against the angiotensin AT1 receptor.
Immune mechanisms and the renin-angiotensin system are implicated in preeclampsia. We investigated 25 preeclamptic patients and compared them with 12 normotensive pregnant women and 10 pregnant… Expand

Macrophages regulate salt-dependent volume and blood pressure by a vascular endothelial growth factor-C–dependent buffering mechanism
In salt-sensitive hypertension, the accumulation of Na+ in tissue has been presumed to be accompanied by a commensurate retention of water to maintain the isotonicity of body fluids. We show here… Expand

A modified quantitative subjective global assessment of nutrition for dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Malnutrition, a predictor of increased mortality in dialysis patients, can be estimated using the subjective global assessment (SGA), a semiquantitative scale with three severity levels.… Expand

Contrast media-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging visualizes myocardial changes in the course of viral myocarditis.
BACKGROUND The course of tissue changes in acute myocarditis in humans is not well understood. Diagnostic tools currently available are unsatisfactory. We tested the hypothesis that inflammation is… Expand

Arachidonic Acid-metabolizing Cytochrome P450 Enzymes Are Targets of ω-3 Fatty Acids*
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) protect against cardiovascular disease by largely unknown mechanisms. We tested the hypothesis that EPA and DHA may compete with arachidonic… Expand
