Different anti-contractile function and nitric oxide production of thoracic and abdominal perivascular adipose tissues

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Divergent phenotypes between the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) surrounding the abdominal and the thoracic aorta might be implicated in regional aortic differences, such as susceptibility to atherosclerosis.

The effects of irisin on the rat thoracic aorta: a histological study

Folia Morphologica, 2022
BACKGROUND: Irisin, a polypeptide hormone that is released from skeletal muscle in response to exercise, has been found to improve endothelial functions, protect against endothelial injuries and change blood pressure, which also affected blood vessels ...

Reciprocal regulation of NRF2 by autophagy and ubiquitin–proteasome modulates vascular endothelial injury induced by copper oxide nanoparticles

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
Highlights 1. CuONPs exposure activates NRF2 signaling in vascular endothelial cells and mouse thoracic aorta. 2. KEAP1 is dispensable for NRF2 activation in CuONPs-treated vascular endothelial cells. 3.

A left circumflex aorta with a displaced thoracic duct in a 94-year-old male cadaver: a case report with discussion on embryology

Folia Morphologica, 2023
A left circumflex aorta (LCA) is an extremely rare variation of the thoracic aorta. It is distinguished by a retroesophageal descending aorta that subsequently travels down the right side of the thoracic vertebrae towards the aortic hiatus.

Chemerin Added to Endothelin-1 Promotes Rat Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Migration

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
BackgroundWhile chemerin has been shown to increase proliferation and migration of systemic vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contributing therefore to the development of hypertension, this remains to be clarified for the pulmonary circulation ...

Open, hybrid, and endovascular repair of recoarctation, aneurysm, and pseudoaneurysm after aortic coarctation repairCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques
Objective: After aortic coarctation repair, patients may develop peri-anastomotic aneurysms or recoarctation requiring reintervention. We describe the spectrum of late coarctation repair–associated complications, repair strategies, and outcomes. Methods:
