Background: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases such as asthma, atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis. Curcumin has various effects such as antidepressa...
Nitric oxide effect on 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced vasoconstrictions of isolated smooth muscle.
The aim of the present study was to investigate a nitric oxide (NO) involvement in the mediation of a 5-HT-induced vasoconstriction response in the rat portal vein in vitro. Isolated rat portal vein segments were placed...
Role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase in ischemic postconditioning-induced attenuation of cerebral ischemia-evoked behavioral deficits in mice.
The present study has been designed to pharmacologically investigate the role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase in ischemic postconditioning-induced reversal of global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion-induced behavioral dysf...
Opposite effects of beta amyloid on endothelial cell survival: role of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2).
Amyloid beta-peptides (Abeta) aggregate during Alzheimer's disease contributing to the development of the pathology. At micromolar concentration Abeta is toxic and accumulates in neurons and in the vasculature. However,...
Endothelial dysfunction in pre-eclampsia.
The repeated demonstration of biomarkers of endothelial cell and leukocyte activation has suggested that the maternal syndrome of pre-eclampsia arises from a generalised maternal inflammatory systemic response incorporat...
