A pragmatic approach to the pressor dose‐response as an index of vascular reactivity and adrenoceptor function in man. [PDF]
In clinical pharmacological studies, where it is not possible to describe the full dose‐response curve, the construction of dose‐ response relationships ideally depends upon achieving a reproducible and readily measurable response for each dose administered.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) plays important roles in lipid and lipoprotein trafficking and metabolism and has demonstrated a positive correlation with cardiovascular risk assessment parameters of carotid and femoral artery intima-media thickness. We evaluated the

Circulating microparticles from Crohn's disease patients cause endothelial and vascular dysfunctions. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Microparticles (MPs) are small vesicles released during cell activation or apoptosis. They are involved in coagulation, inflammation and vascular dysfunction in several diseases.
