متن کاملMolecular pharmacology and pathophysiological significance of endothelin.
Since the discovery of the most potent vasoconstrictor peptide, endothelin, in 1988, explosive investigations have rapidly clarified much of the basic pharmacological, biochemical and molecular biological features of endothelin, including the presence and structure of isopeptides and their genes (endothelin-1, -2 and -3), regulation of gene expression, intracellular processing, specific endothe...
متن کاملCardiac alternans: mechanisms and pathophysiological significance.
1. Introduction 1). Driving the heart at cycle lengths just longer than the threshold may produce transient alternans [4,6]. Transient Mechanical alternans (pulsus alternans) is a condition in alternans may also be observed after a single premature which there is a beat-to-beat oscillation in the strength of systole [8,9]. Since premature systoles may also be fol-cardiac muscle contraction at a...
