Cholesterol and docosahexaenoic acid likely protect against alcohol-induced constriction of cerebral arteries via a common pathway. [PDF]
Adv Drug Alcohol ResBinge alcohol drinking is significantly associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular dysfunction. Within cerebral artery smooth muscle, alcohol inhibits calcium- and voltage-gated potassium (BK) channels of large-conductance, leading to ...

Male-female differences in upregulation of vasoconstrictor responses in human cerebral arteries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Male-female differences may significantly impact stroke prevention and treatment in men and women, however underlying mechanisms for sexual dimorphism in stroke are not understood.

Migratory vasodilatation of cerebral arteries in MELAS episodes: a case report and literature review. [PDF]
Front ImmunolMitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is the commonest inherited mitochondrial disorder. Dilation of the major cerebral arteries is seldom mentioned in MELAS because magnetic resonance angiography (MRA ...

Exploring the anatomical configurations of the cerebral arteries in a cohort of South African patients. [PDF]
Sci RepThe cerebral arteries, specifically the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and posterior cerebral artery (PCA), work together with the smaller calibre arteries to provide effective communication between the anterior and posterior circuits of the brain via ...

High pulse pressure impairs cerebral artery endothelial function in young, but not old, mice
Experimental Gerontology, 2023 One of the hallmarks of vascular aging is increased pulse pressure. This elevated pulse pressure is associated with deleterious effects on cerebral vascular function; however, it is unknown if age modulates the susceptibility to high pulse pressure.

ORIGIN AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE CEREBRAL AND CEREBELLAR ARTERIES OF RABBIT [PDF]
Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 1986 The brain of rabbit receives its arterial blood from the internal carotid and basilar arteries. The internal carotid artery is well developed and bifurcates into the rostral cerebral and caudal communicating arteries which are responsible for the ...

Altered endothelin receptor expression and affinity in spontaneously hypertensive rat cerebral and coronary arteries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Hypertension is associated with arterial hyperreactivity, and endothelin (ET) receptors are involved in vascular pathogenesis. The present study was performed to examine the hypothesis that ET receptors were altered in cerebral and coronary ...

Functional Arterial Anatomy of the Brain
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, 2022 The basic patterns of the cerebral arteries development are highly conserved across vertebrates. Historical and recent studies based on human embryos, comparative anatomy, and cerebral angiographies allowed us to better understand the embryological ...
