Role of PI3K/AKT, cPLA2 and ERK1/2 Signaling Pathways in Insulin Regulation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Proliferation
(Cardiovascular & Hematological Disorders-Drug Targets, 2009)
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) respond to arterial wall injury by intimal proliferation and play a key role in atherogenesis by proliferating and migrating excessively in response to repeated injury, such as hypertension ...
Sleep-Dependent Changes in the Coupling Between Heart Period and Arterial Pressure in Newborn Lambs
(Pediatric Research, 2005)
This study assessed whether sleep-dependent changes in the relationship between heart period (HP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) occur in newborn life. Electrodes for electrocorticographic, electromyographic, and ...
Extracting complexity waveforms from one-dimensional signals
(Nonlinear Biomedical Physics, 2009)
Background: Nonlinear methods provide a direct way of estimating complexity of one-dimensional sampled signals through calculation of Higuchi's fractal dimension (1<FD<2). In most cases the signal is treated as being ...
Monte Carlo Simulation of Proton Transport at Therapeutic Energies
(Nuklearna tehnologija, 2001)
Physical and biological characteristics of protons as well as technical requirements on proton beams are reviewed in order to illustrate the need for accurate proton transport simulations for therapeutic applications. ...
Sleep-related brain activation does not increase the permeability of the blood–brain barrier to glucose
(Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2005)
We compared blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability to glucose between quiet wakefulness and rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep to assess whether changes in BBB permeability play a role in coupling glucose supply to the physiologic ...
Hyperfine spectroscopic study of Laves phase HfFe2
(Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 2004)
Hyperfine fields in HfFe2 were measured at 181Ta probe using the time-differential perturbed angular correlation method (TDPAC) in the temperature range 78-1200K. Analysis of the spectra revealed two interactions with ...
Structural and magnetic properites of Xe ion irradiated Co/Si bilayers
(Publications of the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade, 2008)
Polycrystalline cobalt layers, deposited on Si(110) wafers via electron beam evaporation to a thickness of 55 nm, were irradiated at room temperature with 200 keV Xe ions to fluences of up to 15 x10^15 ions/cm^2.The atomic ...
Role of ERK1/2 Activation In Thrombin-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Hypertrophy
(Current Hypertension Reviews, 2008)
It is well recognized that the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a key event in the pathogenesis of various vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and hypertension. It is generally considered ...
