Regulation of Coronary Arterial Large Conductance Ca2+-Activated K+ Channel Protein Expression and Function by n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Diabetic Rats
Conclusions: n-3 PUFAs protect the coronary BK channel function and coronary vasoreactivity in diabetic rats as a result of not only increasing BK- β1 protein expressions, but also decreasing coronary artery tension and coronary smooth muscle cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations.J Vasc Res 2017;54:329-343 (Source: Journal of Vascular Research)

Low-Frequency Components in Rat Pial Arteriolar Rhythmic Diameter Changes
In conclusion, regulation of the blood flow distribution is due to several mechanisms, one of which is affected by charibdotoxin and apamin, modulating the vascular tone.J Vasc Res 2017;54:344-358 (Source: Journal of Vascular Research)

Overexpression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-2 in Expanded Endothelial Progenitor Cells Improves Left Ventricular Function in Experimental Myocardial Infarction
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are mediators of growth hormone-induced metabolic and anabolic actions, but also regulate cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis and show beneficial effects in acute myocardial ischemia. Since endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) improve myocardial function after acute myocardial infarction, we sought to investigate whether overexpression of IGF-2 in expanded EPCs (eEPCs) further contributes to improvement in left ventricular function after myocardial infarction. EPCs were isolated from human cord blood and transduced by a retroviral vector expression of IGF-2 (IGF-2 eEPCs) or vector ...

Peripheral Endothelial Function and Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve Are Not Associated in Women with Angina and No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: The iPOWER Study
Purpose: We investigated whether impaired flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and plasma biomarkers reflecting endothelial dysfunction are associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in women with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods: Patients (n = 194) were randomly selected women with angina pectoris and no obstructive CAD ( (Source: Journal of Vascular Research)

Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Ameliorates Angiotensin II-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells through the Activation of Nrf2/Caspase-3 Signaling
Conclusions: All of our findings indicated that EGCG treatment provides a protective effect for Ang II-induced HUVEC apoptosis by decreasing oxidative stress and ameliorating mitochondrial injury.J Vasc Res 2017;54:299-308 (Source: Journal of Vascular Research)

VEGF and IGF Delivered from Alginate Hydrogels Promote Stable Perfusion Recovery in Ischemic Hind Limbs of Aged Mice and Young Rabbits
Biomaterial-based delivery of angiogenic growth factors restores perfusion more effectively than bolus delivery methods in rodent models of peripheral vascular disease, but the same success has not yet been demonstrated in clinically relevant studies of aged or large animals. These studies explore, in clinically relevant models, a therapeutic angiogenesis strategy for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease that overcomes the challenges encountered in previous clinical trials. Alginate hydrogels providing sustained release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF) were injecte...

Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid Reduces Arterial Stiffness and Improves Endothelial Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetic Mice
Conclusions: These results suggest that ER stress may represent a novel cause of, and therapeutic target for, diabetic vascular dysfunction.J Vasc Res 2017;54:280-287 (Source: Journal of Vascular Research)

Impact of Age and Aerobic Exercise Training on Conduit Artery Wall Thickness: Role of the Shear Pattern
Hemodynamic shear stress is the frictional force of blood on the arterial wall. The shear pattern in the conduit artery affects the endothelium and may participate in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. We investigated the role of the shear pattern in age- and aerobic exercise-induced changes in conduit artery wall thickness via cross-sectional and interventional studies. In a cross-sectional study, we found that brachial shear rate patterns and brachial artery intima-media thickness (IMT) correlated with age. Additionally, brachial artery shear rate patterns were associated with brachial artery IMT in 102 ...
