Effect of antiretroviral therapy on decreasing arterial stiffness, metabolic profile, vascular and systemic inflammatory cytokines in treatment-naïve HIV: A one-year prospective study.

PLoS ONE, 2023
IntroductionCardiovascular disease is a major cause of death among people living with HIV (PLH). Non-treated PLH show increased levels of inflammation and biomarkers of vascular activation, and arterial stiffness as a prognostic cardiovascular disease ...

Randomized Controlled Trial for the Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Vascular Stiffness in CKD.

American Society of Nephrology. Clinical Journal, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Vitamin D is implicated in vascular health in CKD. This study compared placebo, calcifediol, and calcitriol treatment with changes in vascular stiffness, BP, proteinuria, mineral metabolism parameters, C-reactive protein, and ...

Mechanisms of vascular smooth muscle contraction and the basis for pharmacologic treatment of smooth muscle disorders [PDF]

, 2016
The smooth muscle cell directly drives the contraction of the vascular wall and hence regulates the size of the blood vessel lumen. We review here the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which agonists, therapeutics, and diseases ...

Matrix Stiffness Induces Pericyte-Fibroblast Transition Through YAP Activation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Vascular pericytes, important mural cells that retain progenitor cell properties and protect vascular integrity in healthy tissues, are often associated with tumor development, but their functions in cancer invasion remain elusive.

Short-term impact of aged garlic extract on endothelial function in diabetes: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. [PDF]

, 2020
Impaired endothelial function portends an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Vascular oxidative stress and systemic inflammation play a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of vascular disease.

Magnetic Resonance Elastography and Portal Hypertension: Influence of the Portal Venous Flow on the Liver Stiffness [PDF]

Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine -- the 9th International Europe-China Symposium, Strasbourg 2-4 Oct 2019, In press, 2020
The invasive measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient is still considered as the reference method to assess the severity of portal hypertension. Even though previous studies have shown that the liver stiffness measured by elastography could predict portal hypertension in patients with chronic liver disease, the mechanisms behind remain today

Unravelling the impact of active and passive contributors to arterial stiffness in male mice and their role in vascular aging

Scientific Reports
Arterial stiffness, a key indicator of vascular health, encompassing active (vascular tone) and passive (extracellular matrix) components. This study aims to address how these different components affect arterial stiffness along the aorta and the ...
