Vascular Smooth Muscle Contractile Function Declines With Age in Skeletal Muscle Feed Arteries
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Aging induces a progressive decline in vasoconstrictor responses in central and peripheral arteries. This study investigated the hypothesis that vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contractile function declines with age in soleus muscle feed arteries (SFA ...

Increased Contractile Function of Human Saphenous Vein Grafts Harvested by “No-Touch” Technique
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Saphenous vein grafts are the most common conduits used for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); however, no more than 60% of vein grafts remain open after 10 years and graft failure is associated with poor clinical outcome.

Vasoactive Effects of Acute Ergot Exposure in Sheep
Toxins, 2021 Ergotism is a common and increasing problem in Saskatchewan’s livestock. Chronic exposure to low concentrations of ergot alkaloids is known to cause severe arterial vasoconstriction and gangrene through the activation of adrenergic and serotonergic ...

Differential mechanisms of action of the trace amines octopamine, synephrine and tyramine on the porcine coronary and mesenteric artery [PDF]
, 2019 Trace amines such as p-tyramine, p-octopamine and p-synephrine are found in low concentrations in animals and plants. Consumption of pre-workout supplements containing these plant-derived amines has been associated with cardiovascular side effects.

Non-Invasive Techniques Reveal Heifer Response to Fescue Endophyte Type in Grazing Studies
Animals, 2023 Cattle grazing tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceous) infected with wild-type endophytes (WE) leads to a syndrome commonly known as fescue toxicosis. Replacing WE tall fescue with a novel endophyte-infected (NE) tall fescue can mitigate this problem but

An Intact Kidney Slice Model to Investigate Vasa Recta Properties and Function in situ [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Medullary blood flow is via vasa recta capillaries, which possess contractile pericytes. In vitro studies using isolated descending vasa recta show that pericytes can constrict/dilate descending vasa recta when vasoactive substances are ...

Is the microvasculature tone increasing with arterial hypertension?
Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2019 Rationale: An increase in vascular tone is believed to be a major factor leading to arterial hypertension (AH). There are no means for a direct measurement of the vascular tone in clinical practice.
