Diabetes, cardiovascular disease and the microcirculation
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet a significant proportion of the disease burden cannot be accounted for by conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

p53 SUMOylation Mediates AOPP-Induced Endothelial Senescence and Apoptosis Evasion
The aging of endothelial cells plays a critical role in the development of age-related vascular disease. We established a model of endothelial premature senescence by application of Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) modified bovine serum ...

Effects of NO synthase inhibitors on the synovial microcirculation in the mouse knee joint [PDF]
Production of nitric oxide by the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is known to be enhanced in chronic joint inflammation and osteoarthritis as well as aseptic loosening of joint prostheses.

The pancreatic islet is a highly vascularized endocrine micro-organ. The unique architecture of rodent islets, a so-called core-mantle arrangement seen in two-dimensional images, led researchers to seek functional implications for islet hormone secretion.

The medullary microcirculation
Like other regional circulations, the medullary circulation supplies oxygen and other primary substrates to the medulla and removes carbon dioxide and other waste metabolites. It also acts as a countercurrent exchanger and simultaneously removes water reabsorbed from the renal tubule to preserve mass balance.

Analyzing the human liver vascular architecture by combining vascular corrosion casting and micro-CT scanning: a feasibility study [PDF]
Although a full understanding of the hepatic circulation is one of the keys to successfully perform liver surgery and to elucidate liver pathology, relatively little is known about the functional organization of the liver vasculature.

Microcirculation: Physiology, Pathophysiology, and Clinical Application
This paper briefly reviews the physiological components of the microcirculation, focusing on its function in homeostasis and its central function in the realization of oxygen transport to tissue cells. Its pivotal role in the understanding of circulatory

Diabetic microangiopathy in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients after successful pancreatic and kidney or solitary kidney transplantation [PDF]
To evaluate the beneficial effect of pancreatic grafting on peripheral microcirculation and long-term clinical outcome, we compared data of 28 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients either given a pancreatic and kidney graft simultaneously or given
