Influence of portal vein occlusion on portal flow and liver elasticity in an animal model [PDF]

NMR in Biomedicine, Wiley, 2021, pp.e4498, 2021
Hepatic fibrosis causes an increase in liver stiffness, a parameter measured by elastography and widely used as a diagnosis method. The concomitant presence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) implies a change in hepatic portal inflow that could also affect liver elasticity.

Aortic-brachial stiffness mismatch as potential marker of subclinical arterial damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

RUDN Journal of Medicine, 2023
Aortic-brachial stiffness mismatch is a potential new marker of a subclinical vascular damage that has never been studied in patients with rheumatic diseases.

Arterial stiffness in aortic stenosis - complex clinical and prognostic implications

Biomedical Papers, 2022
Arterial stiffness and degenerative aortic stenosis (AoS) are frequently associated leading to a combined valvular and vascular load imposed on the left ventricle (LV).

Protective role of CXCR7 activation in neonatal hyperoxia-induced systemic vascular remodeling and cardiovascular dysfunction in juvenile rats

Scientific Reports, 2023
Neonatal hyperoxia induces long-term systemic vascular stiffness and cardiovascular remodeling, but the mechanisms are unclear. Chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) represents a key regulator of vascular homeostasis and repair by modulating TGF-β1 signaling ...

The focal adhesion: a regulated component of aortic stiffness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Increased aortic stiffness is an acknowledged predictor and cause of cardiovascular disease. The sources and mechanisms of vascular stiffness are not well understood, although the extracellular matrix (ECM) has been assumed to be a major component.

Mechanisms of Increased Vascular Stiffness Down the Aortic Tree in Aging, Pre-Menopausal Female Monkeys.

American Journal of Physiology. Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2020
OBJECTIVE Protection against increased vascular stiffness in young women is lost after menopause. However, little is known about vascular stiffness in older, pre-menopausal females, because most of the prior work has been conducted in rodents, which live

Vascular fibrosis in aging and hypertension: molecular mechanisms and clinical implications [PDF]

, 2016
Aging is the primary risk factor underlying hypertension and incident cardiovascular disease. With aging, the vasculature undergoes structural and functional changes characterized by endothelial dysfunction, wall thickening, reduced distensibility, and ...

Adipokines and Arterial Stiffness in Obesity

Medicina, 2021
Adipokines are active molecules with pleiotropic effects produced by adipose tissue and involved in obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Arterial stiffness, which is a consequence of arteriosclerosis, has been shown to be an independent

RhoBTB1 reverses established arterial stiffness in angiotensin II–induced hypertension by promoting actin depolymerization

JCI Insight, 2022
Arterial stiffness predicts cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, but its treatment remains challenging. Mice treated with angiotensin II (Ang II) develop hypertension, arterial stiffness, vascular dysfunction, and a downregulation of Rho ...
