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...

Proinsulin C-peptide reduces diabetes-induced glomerular hyperfiltration via efferent arteriole dilation and inhibition of tubular sodium reabsorption.

7 Sep 2009 C-peptide reduces diabetes-induced glomerular hyperfiltration in diabetic patients and experimental animal models. However, the mechanisms mediating the beneficial effect of C-peptide remain unclear. We investigated whether altered renal ... Read more...

PKC phosphorylation of titin's PEVK element: a novel and conserved pathway for modulating myocardial stiffness.

11 Aug 2009 RATIONALE: Protein kinase C (PKC) regulates contractility of cardiac muscle cells by phosphorylating thin- and thick- filament-based proteins. Myocardial sarcomeres also contain a third myofilament, titin, and it is unknown whether titin can be ... Read more...
