Adipokines and Arterial Stiffness in the Elderly.

Vascular health and risk management, 2020
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between adipokines and arterial stiffness in a group of 85 elderly subjects and the role of leptin and adiponectin on subclinical vascular damage, defined by a PWV>10 m/s.In each subject, we evaluated anthropometry, body composition by DXA (fat mass, fat mass%, lean mass), metabolic variables ...

Physicochemical Reinforcement Unlocks Sterilization‐Stable Anisotropic Hydrogels for Cell‐Compatible Mock Arteries

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)

Association between fibrinogen/albumin ratio and arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes: A cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Background: Fibrinogen albumin ratio (FAR) is significantly correlated with the severity and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Arterial stiffness is an early lesion of CVD, but no studies have examined the correlation between arterial stiffness ...
