Evidence for early endothelial dysfunction associated with the ALDH2 rs671 gene variant: A preliminary investigation with young East Asians. [PDF]
Exp PhysiolAbstract Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that plays an important role in aldehyde detoxification. A large percentage (30–50%) of the East Asian population carry a single point mutation in the ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*2 variant) that causes a severe reduction or lack of ALDH2 enzyme activity, and leads to disrupted cellular ...

Eight weeks of high-intensity interval training is insufficient to prevent sitting-induced endothelial dysfunction and microvascular impairment. [PDF]
Exp PhysiolAbstract Prolonged sitting disrupts lower‐limb endothelial and microvascular function, likely via reduced shear stress and blunted microvascular reactivity. We examined whether Tabata‐style high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) mitigates this sitting‐induced vascular dysfunction.

Ply, markedness and redundancy : new evidence for how Andean khipus encoded information [PDF]
, 2014 Khipus are knotted-cord devices once used in the Andes for communication and recording information. Although numbers can be read on many khipus, it is unknown how other forms of data may have been recorded on the strings.

Plantar Foot Microvascular Reactivity and Oxygenation in Type 2 Diabetes and Peripheral Artery Disease: An Exploratory Study. [PDF]
MicrocirculationABSTRACT Objective Microvascular dysfunction contributes to foot complications in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and peripheral artery disease (PAD), yet has been characterized primarily in non‐plantar regions. We evaluated microvascular reactivity and oxygenation at ulcer‐prone plantar sites and responses to combined heat therapy and intermittent pneumatic ...

Similarities and differences in carotid artery, hemodynamic, and autonomic reactivity induced by mental stress or cold in adults: A randomized crossover study. [PDF]
Physiol RepThe Stroop test and cold pressor test elicit comparable common carotid artery vasodilation. However, mental stress induced by the Stroop test leads to an earlier peak response, possibly influenced by anticipatory mechanisms. Created in BioRender. Speretta, G.

Brachial blood flow and pressure responses are unrelated to the greater isometric handgrip tolerance of females compared to males. [PDF]
Physiol RepAbstract Isometric handgrip (IHG) training lowers blood pressure (BP), but sex differences in fatigability may be confounding. We hypothesized that the greater time‐to‐fatigue during IHG in females would relate to preserved brachial blood flow, with males exhibiting reductions in flow.
