Metoprolol reduces cerebral tissue oxygen tension after acute hemodilution in rats.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Perioperative beta-blockade and anemia are independent predictors of increased stroke and mortality by undefined mechanisms. This study investigated the effect of beta-blockade on cerebral tissue oxygen delivery in an experimental model ... Read more...

Global disturbances in autonomic function yield cardiovascular instability and hypertension in the chromogranin a null mouse.

7 Oct 2009 We reported previously that chromogranin A (Chga) knockout (KO) mice are hypertensive and hyperadrenergic. Here we sought to determine the basis of such alterations by probing physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological responses to ... Read more...

Hypophosphatemia-mediated hypotension in transgenic mice overexpressing human FGF-23.

12 Aug 2009 Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is a potent circulating phosphaturic factor associated with renal phosphate wasting. The effects of FGF-23 on skeletal and phosphate homeostasis have been investigated widely; however, the effect of FGF-23 on the ... Read more...
