BACKGROUND Oxidative and nitrosative stress has suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, but has unclear relationship with the risk for incident stroke. METHODS In this nested case-control study, cases consisted of 131 participants who were free of stroke at

In 10 normotensive healthy early pregnant women cardiovascular studies were done before, during and after the intravenous administration of prostaglandin F2alpha with the method of quantitative sphygmometry. Arterial blood pressure was measured graphically with an automatic sphygmomanometer unit.

ZJM-289 is a potent racemic agent which inhibits both platelet aggregation and thrombosis superior to a known anti-ischemic stroke drug 3-n-butylphthalide (NBP). Herein, the enantiomers of ZJM-289, (S)-ZJM-289 and (R)-ZJM-289, were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. It was

The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that alpha-tocopherol (Vit. E) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) might exert direct effects on alcohol-induced contractions of canine basilar cerebral arteries. After precontraction of arterial ring segments with ethanol, PDTC (10(-8)-10(-6)

OBJECTIVE Folic acid (FA) administration can reduce plasma total homocysteine (tHcy); however, it fails to decrease cardiovascular events and progression of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Nɛ-homocysteinyl-lysine isopeptide (Nɛ-Hcy-Lys) is formed during catabolism of homocysteinylated proteins. We

Consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of death from all causes including heart disease and stroke. In this work, the bioavailability of vitamin C from a Mediterranean vegetable soup (gazpacho) constituted mainly of tomato, pepper and cucumber, and its influence on

OBJECTIVE Chronic hypertension is a risk factor for carotid vascular disease and stroke. Mechanisms that account for alterations in carotid and cerebral vascular function during hypertension are poorly defined and based almost exclusively on studies in the spontaneously hypertensive rat, a model in

Although some of the COX-2 metabolites and prostaglandins have been implicated in stroke and excitotoxicity, the role of prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) and its FP receptor have not been elucidated in the pathogenesis of ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) brain injury. Here we investigated the FP

Both hypoxia and hyperoxia have major effects on cardiovascular function. However, both states affect ventilation and many previous studies have not controlled CO(2) tension. We investigated whether hemodynamic effects previously attributed to modified O(2) tension were still apparent under

BACKGROUND Fruits and vegetables, foods rich in flavonoids and antioxidants, have been associated with lower risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in adults. Markers of inflammation and oxidative stress are predictors of coronary heart disease risk;
