Whole-Body Cryotherapy Increases the Activity of Nitric Oxide Synthase in Older Men
Biomolecules, 2021 Aging causes oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and a reduction in the bioavailability of nitric oxide. The study aim was to determine whether, as a result of repeated whole-body exposure to cryogenic temperature (3 min −130 °C), there is an ...

Chemoreceptors and cardiovascular control in acute and chronic systemic hypoxia
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 This review describes the ways in which the primary bradycardia and peripheral vasoconstriction evoked by selective stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors can be modified by the secondary effects of a chemoreceptor-induced increase in ventilation.

The arteriolar vasodilatation model of vibrio cholerae induced diarrhoeal disease [PDF]
, 2018 Secretory diarrhoeal disease caused by enterotoxins produced by pathogenic bacteria is characterised by severe fluid loss into the intestine. A prevalent explanation for such high rates of loss, such as occur in episodes of cholera, is that intestinal ...

Vampire Venom: Vasodilatory Mechanisms of Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) Blood Feeding
Toxins, 2019 Animals that specialise in blood feeding have particular challenges in obtaining their meal, whereby they impair blood hemostasis by promoting anticoagulation and vasodilation in order to facilitate feeding. These convergent selection pressures have been

The vasorelaxant properties of novel benzodiazepine-like ligands on isolated rat thoracic aorta [PDF]
Scripta Medica, 2020 Background/Aim: In addition to well-established central effects, benzodiazepines, but also some other allosteric modulators of gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) receptor exhibit significant vascular effects.

Role of aldehyde dehydrogenase in hypoxic vasodilator effects of nitrite in rats and humans [PDF]
, 2015 Hypoxic conditions favour the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) to elicit vasodilatation, but the mechanism(s) responsible for bioconversion remains ill defined.
