Vascular stiffness in insulin resistance and obesity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are associated with a substantially increased prevalence of vascular fibrosis and stiffness, with attendant increased risk of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. Although the underlying mechanisms and mediators of vascular stiffness are not well understood, accumulating evidence supports the role ...

Calculating vascular resistances [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1997 AbstractVascular resistance calculations often affect decisions regarding therapeutic options encountered by physicians and their patients. However, many of the terms, units, and methods used when calculating vascular resistances are ambiguous. This report attempts to clarify some of these ambiguities and suggests methods for predicting normal vascular

Impaired decidual natural killer cell regulation of vascular remodelling in early human pregnancies with high uterine artery resistance [PDF]
, 2012 During human pregnancy, natural killer (NK) cells accumulate in the maternal decidua, but their specific roles remain to be determined. Decidual NK (dNK) cells are present during trophoblast invasion and uterine spiral artery remodelling.

Absence of reflex vascular responses from the intrapulmonary circulation in anaesthetised dogs [PDF]
, 2000 The aim of this investigation was to determine whether reflex cardiovascular responses were obtained to localised distension of the intrapulmonary arterial and venous circulations in a preparation in which the stimuli to other major reflexogenic areas ...

Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]
, 2017 Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and

METOCLOPRAMIDE AND RENAL VASCULAR RESISTANCE
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1991 We have studied the effect of i.v. metoclopramide on renal vascular resistance in nine healthy volunteers. Peak systolic and end-diastolic frequencies were measured using duplex Doppler ultrasound of a renal interlobar artery, before and after the administration of i.v. metoclopramide 10 mg, and the resistance index derived.
