Endothelial Function in a Mouse Model of Myeloperoxidase Deficiency
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity is suggested to reduce the function of vascular nitric oxide, thereby contributing to endothelial dysfunction, although data in rodents are inconclusive. We examined vascular contractile and relaxant responses in MPO-deficient (MPO(-/-)) and wild-type mice to investigate the role for myeloperoxidase in the development of endothelial dysfunction. Carotid and saphen...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase deficiency preserves vasomotor function in humans
AIMS Observational studies have suggested a mechanistic link between the leucocyte-derived enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) and vasomotor function. Here, we tested whether MPO is systemically affecting vascular tone in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 12 135 patients were screened for leucocyte peroxidase activity. We identified 15 individuals with low MPO expression and activity (MPO(low))...
متن کاملinterpersonal function of language in subtitling
translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
15 صفحه اولHereditary myeloperoxidase deficiency.
Subjects with neutrophil myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency have been rarely reported. In part this may be due to the lack of a simple screening technique that would detect them. With the routine use of a cytochemical leukocyte differential counter that employs MPO stains, over a 40-mo a period 8 unrelated probands with partial MPO-deficiency and one with complete deficiency were identified. Fami...
متن کاملDetermination of Vascular Endothelial- and Fibroblast-Growth Factor Receptors in a Mouse Fibrosarcoma Tumor Model Following Photodynamic Therapy
The role of angiogenic molecules, like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in tumor angiogenesis was well confirmed. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) action is, to very high degree, based on tumor vasculature damage. Therefore, it seemed to be important to evaluate growth factor receptors after PDT. The extent of receptor expression was studied by immuno-histo...
