Vasomotor assessment by camera-based photoplethysmography

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2016
Camera-based photoplethysmography (cbPPG) is a novel technique that allows the contactless acquisition of cardio-respiratory signals. Previous works on cbPPG most often focused on heart rate extraction.

The New Nitric Oxide Donor, FOR 911B, Induces Relaxation in Isolated Rat Aorta Involving the NO/sGC/cGMP Pathway and K⁺ Channels

Receptors
Background: Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule considered to be a protagonist in the dilation of blood vessels, and its property and/or bioavailability are reduced in pathophysiological conditions such as cardiovascular diseases.

Hydrogen Sulfide-Induced Vasodilation: The Involvement of Vascular Potassium Channels

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been highlighted as an important gasotransmitter in mammals. A growing number of studies have indicated that H2S plays a key role in the pathophysiology of vascular diseases and physiological vascular homeostasis. Alteration in

The GPR18 Agonist PSB-KD-107 Exerts Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxant Effects

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
GPR18 is an orphan GPCR that is activated by the cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Emerging evidence indicates its involvement in the control of cardiovascular functions, including heart rate, contractility, vascular tone, as well as blood pressure.

Vasodilation increases pulse pressure variation, mimicking hypovolemic status in rabbits

Clinics, 2010
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that pulse pressure respiratory variation (PPV) amplification, observed in hypovolemia, can also be observed during sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced vasodilation.

Ethyl Acetate Fraction and Isolated Phenolics Derivatives from Mandevilla moricandiana Identified by UHPLC-DAD-ESI-MSⁿ with Pharmacological Potential for the Improvement of Obesity-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction

Pharmaceutics, 2021
Endothelial dysfunction in obesity plays a key role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, and it is characterized by increased vascular tonus and oxidative stress. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the vasodilatory and antioxidant activities
