(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2009-05)We investigated the clinical response of chronic heart failure patients with beta(2)- adrenergic receptor Gln(27)-> Glu polymorphism treated for 6 months with carvedilol, a alpha/beta-antagonist with antioxidant properties. ...
-
(SPRINGER, 2009-03)Neovascularization plays a pivotal role in tissue engineering and tissue regeneration. However, reliable technologies to visualize and quantify blood vessel networks in target tissue areas are still pending. In this work, ...
-
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2009-03)3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors have been used clinically for lowering total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Interindividual pharmacological differences observed with this treatment have ...
-
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008-01-15)Aims In cells, mitochondria are organized as a network of interconnected organelles that fluctuate between fission and fusion events (mitochondrial dynamics). This process is associated with cell death. We investigated ...
-
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2007-10)The RhoA/Rho kinase (ROCK) pathway is a new mechanism of remodeling and vasoconstriction. Few data are available regarding ROCK activation when angiotensin I-converting enzyme is high and blood pressure is normal. We ...
-
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2001-09)Angiotensin I is a substrate for both ACE and for neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP). We hypothesized that high ACE expression is related to low NEP activity. Accordingly, circulating and tissue NEP and ACE activities were ...
-
(PARTHENON PUBLISHING GROUP, 2007-07)Background. The role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in granulosa luteal cell function and steroidogenesis is still controversial. Our aim was to examine the steroiclogenic response, together with the simultaneous ...

(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2005-11)Editorial Material
-
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC, 2005-07-15)Radionuclide isotopic ventriculography with phase analysis was performed in 30 patients with stable heart failure (HF), determining left ventricular (LV) and interventricular contraction synchrony at baseline and after 6 ...
-
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC, 2002-01-15)It has been reported that patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) have increased breath pentane content, conjugated diene levels, and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, an indirect marker of lipid peroxidation.(1-3) ...
-
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2002-02)Objective: To evaluate the oxidative stress status and the modification with glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous transluminal coronary ...
-
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2002-03)Background and objective In humans, the insertion/ deletion polymorphism in the anglotensin (Ang) I converting enzyme (ACE) gene significantly determines ACE activity. The deletion allele induces higher ACE levels and is ...
-
(ENDOCRINE SOC, 2005-03)There is increasing evidence for rapid nongenomic effects of aldosterone. Aldosterone has been demonstrated to alter intracellular pH and calcium in isolated cells. However, few studies have correlated these effects with ...
-
Polymorphism in gene coding for ACE determines different development of myocardial fibrosis in rats (AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2004-02-01)In humans, the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphisms in cardiovascular disease is still controversial. In the rat, a microsatellite marker in the ACE gene allows differentiation of the ACE gene ...
-
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2003-05)The collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) forms a stress-tolerant network that is essential for proper function of the vertebrate heart. Profound changes have been detected in the interstitial ECM concurrent with developmental ...
-
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2003-10-03)Cells adapt to hyperosmotic conditions by several mechanisms, including accumulation of sorbitol via induction of the polyol pathway. Failure to adapt to osmotic stress can result in apoptotic cell death. In the present ...
-
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC, 2003-09-15)In patients with hypertension who have the DD-ACE genotype (higher angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] activity), plasma levels of angiotensin-(1-7) are 4 times lower than in patients with the II-ACE genotype (lower ACE ...

(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC, 2003-07-15)
-
(ELSEVIER, 2007)Alkyl esters of gallic acid inhibited the respiration rate of mouse sarcoma 786A and mouse mammary adenocarcinoma TA3 cell lines and its multiresistant variant TA3-MTX-R more effectively than gallic acid, both in the ...
-
(F.P. Graham Publishing Co., 2007)There is clinical and experimental evidence indicating that neurocircuitries of the hippocampus are vulnerable to hypoxia/ischemia occurring at birth, inducing, upon re-oxygenation/re-circulation, delayed neuronal ...
