Investigation of Response to Angiotensin (Ang ) and its Receptor Subtypes in Acutely Inflamed Joint Blood Vessels in Rabbit
Introduction: Inflammatory joint diseases are common in elderly, and regulation of joint blood flow (JBF) is important in these conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the response of inflamed joint blood vessels to angiotensin (Ang ), a vasoconstrictor factor which has been shown to be produced in inflamed joints locally. Identification of Ang receptor subtypes in joint blood ve...
متن کاملToll Like Receptor 2 and 4 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a T cell mediated autoimmune disease with unknown etiology. Appropriate MS therapeutic strategies need thorough understanding of both disease etiology and pathogenesis mechanisms. Ligation of TLR-2 and TLR-4 stimulates the production of several cytokines leading to CNS autoimmunity and neurodegenerative diseases. Objective: To find a relationship between M...
متن کاملHypothalamic Expression of Melanocortin-4 Receptor and Agouti-related Peptide mRNAs During the Estrous Cycle of Rats
Melanocortin- 4 receptor (MC4R) and agouti- related peptide (AgRP) are involved in energy homeostasis in rats. According to MC4R and AgRP effects on luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, they may influence the estrous cycle of rats. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of MC4R and AgRP mRNAs at different stages of estrous cycle in the rat’s hypothalamus. The estrous ...
متن کاملIncreased expression of erythropoietin receptor on blood vessels in the human epileptogenic hippocampus with sclerosis.
Microvascular (capillary) proliferation is a readily observed, but largely ignored phenomenon of the mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) hippocampus. Here, we report that the proliferated capillaries in surgically resected MTLE hippocampi were strongly immunoreactive for erythropoietin receptor (EPO-r). Further, we found that these capillaries were most prominent in areas of the MTLE hippocamp...
متن کاملIncreased expression of estrogen receptor-beta mRNA in male blood vessels after vascular injury.
Estrogen exerts direct effects on vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells that are important for vascular protection. Estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) is expressed in vascular cells from males and females and may mediate some of the effects of estrogen on vascular tissue. However, we recently found that estrogen is able to protect against vascular injury in ovariectomized female ERalpha k...
