High Glucose, But Not Testosterone, Increases Platelet Aggregation Mediated by Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Endothelial cells inhibit platelet aggregation by releasing thromboregulators, such as prostacyclin and nitric oxide. Male subject is a traditional risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

Pericyte-mediated regulation of capillary diameter: a component of neurovascular coupling in health and disease [PDF]
Because regional blood flow increases in association with the increased metabolic demand generated by localised increases in neural activity, functional imaging researchers often assume that changes in blood flow are an accurate read-out of changes in ...

Hypoxic Ventilatory Response in Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor-β–Knockout Mice
The present study investigated whether the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-beta-mediated mechanisms are involved in the hypoxic ventilatory response through modulating the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) function. The ventilatory changes during hypoxic challenge (10% O(2), 30 min) were measured plethysmographically in mice selectively ...

Direct interaction between Shc and the platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor.
The Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing Shc proteins p52shc and p46shc become phosphorylated upon activation of several tyrosine kinases and are implicated in mitogenic signal transduction. Ligand stimulation of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor leads to autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues, which is known to mediate ...

Increased expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(2A/B) receptors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a rationale for therapeutic intervention [PDF]
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has a poor prognosis and limited responsiveness to available treatments. It is characterised by epithelial cell injury, fibroblast activation and proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition ...
