Urotensin II receptor deletion mitigates high‐fat diet‐induced kidney injury and renal lipid remodeling. Male wild‐type (WT) and urotensin II receptor–knockout (UT KO) mice were fed a high‐fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat) for 33 weeks. In cultured mouse podocytes, urotensin II (UII)–UT signaling enhanced transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6)

ABSTRACT In the last decades, critical advancements in research technology and knowledge on disease mechanisms steered therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases towards unprecedented target specificity. For allergic and chronic lung diseases, biologic drugs pioneered this goal, acquiring on the way—through the clinical use of monoclonal ...

Angiotensin II induces vascular inflammation, senescence, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and endothelial dysfunction, thus impairing SK+/IK+ channel function and reducing endothelial‐dependent hyperpolarisation (EDH). Metformin activates AMPK, increasing SK+/IK+ channel function and restoring vasorelaxation.

Effect of PGI2 and thromboxane antagonist on liver ischemic injury.
Thromboxane, prostacyclin and their ratio could play an important role in the ischemic liver injury. To study this hypothesis, thromboxane and prostacyclin were measured by RIA after incubation of liver tissues removed during and after an ischemia of 90 ...

Field‐applicable low‐intensity exercise induces bronchodilation in horses with severe asthma
Abstract Background Airway dysfunction in severe equine asthma (SEA) often results in early retirement or euthanasia of affected horses. Exercise‐induced bronchodilation occurs in horses with SEA after intense treadmill exercise, but the effects of a lighter, field‐applicable, training regimen remain largely unexplored.

ABSTRACT Furong Tongmai capsule (FRTM) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula with reported lipid‐lowering and anti‐inflammatory activities, but its mechanisms in atherosclerosis (AS) remain unclear. In ApoE−/− mice fed a high‐fat diet, FRTM administration improved serum lipid profiles by reducing total cholesterol, triglycerides and low‐density ...

On the History of Hepatic Vein Catheterization
ABSTRACT Hepatic vein catheterization (HVC) in man was first performed 80 years ago in the wake of right‐sided heart catheterization. Several new methods, recognitions and concepts followed, especially the indirect Fick‐method for determination of splanchnic blood flow. Five years passed before pressure measurements were performed and routine HVCs were

ABSTRACT Lung transplantation is the only long‐lasting life‐saving treatment for patients with end‐stage pulmonary disease, but the ever‐growing shortage of suitable donor organs leads to high mortality rates of the afflicted patients. Xenotransplantation, the transplantation of organs across species, has emerged as a promising alternative. This review

Structural basis for ligand recognition and activation of the prostanoid receptors
Summary: Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) are endogenous arachidonic acid metabolites, modulating diverse physiological processes including inflammation and cardiovascular homeostasis through activating PGF2α receptor (FP) and TXA2 ...
