The influence of hypervolemia on hemodynamics and interdialytic blood pressure, as well as
in relation to vascular compliance, was investigated in 10 hemodialysis patients who were …

Arterial calcification (AC) is generally regarded as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a potent inhibitor of AC, and its …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cellular signals but also disease triggers; their relative
excess (oxidative stress) or shortage (reductive stress) compared to reducing equivalents are …

Preeclampsia complicates 5–8% of all pregnancies worldwide, and although its pathophysiology
remains obscure, placental oxidative stress and mitochondrial abnormalities are …

Limited literature sources implicate mast-cell mediator chymase in the pathologies of pulmonary
hypertension and pulmonary fibrosis. However, there is no evidence on the contribution …

We evaluated CNA35 as a collagen marker in healthy and atherosclerotic arteries of mice
after both ex vivo and in vivo administration and as a molecular imaging agent for the …

Hypertension is the most important cause of death and disability in the elderly. In 9 out of 10
cases, the molecular cause, however, is unknown. One mechanistic hypothesis involves …

Introduction Impaired utero-placental perfusion is a well-known feature of early preeclampsia
and is associated with placental hypoxia and oxidative stress. Although aberrations at the …

Background Rutin intake is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The exact mechanism by which rutin can protect against CVD development is still enigmatic. …

In resistance-sized arteries, a chronic increase in blood flow leads to increases in arterial
structural luminal diameter and arterial wall mass. In this review, we summarize recent …
