Impairment of intracerebral arteriole dilation responses after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebrovascular dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may contribute to ischemia, but little is known about the contribution of intracerebral arterioles. In this study, the authors tested the hypothesis that SAH inhibits the ... Read more...

Randomized controlled trial of aspirin and clopidogrel versus aspirin and placebo on markers of smooth muscle proliferation before and after peripheral angioplasty.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: In peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients, a limiting factor in the success of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is the development of restenosis secondary to vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation. Following ... Read more...

Nitric oxide stimulates myoglobin gene and protein expression in vascular smooth muscle.

23 Sep 2009 Mb (myoglobin) is a haemoprotein present in cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle and is primarily responsible for the storage and 'facilitated transfer' of molecular oxygen from the cell membrane to mitochondria. Also, Mb plays a role in regulating ... Read more...
