Vascular endothelial growth factor is necessary in the development of arteriosclerosis by recruiting/activating monocytes in a rat model of long-term inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis.
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a proarteriosclerotic or an antiarteriosclerotic factor. We recently reported that long-term inhibition of nitric oxide by administering Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) induces coronary vascular inflammation and arteriosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We used this animal model to investigate the rol...
متن کاملP-182: The Role of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Expression in Patients with the History of Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is the presence of endometrium- like tissue in sites outside the uterine cavity, primarily on the pelvic peritoneum and ovaries. Ectopic endometrium for replacement and growth require to blood supply. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important intermediate of locality angiogenesis that product by monocytes and macrophages. This study evaluat...
متن کاملIn vivo immunotherapy of lung cancer using cross-species reactive vascular endothelial growth factor nanobodies
Objective(s): Lung cancer is the main leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Angiogenesis is the main step in proliferation and spreading of tumor cells. Targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an effective approach for inhibition of cancer angiogenesis. Nanobodies (NBs) are a novel class of antibodies derived from the camel. Unique characteristics of Nbs like their small size ...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of oxytocin on the inflammatory parameters and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the rat air pouch model of inflammation
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of oxytocin on the angiogenesis and inflammatory parameters in air pouch model of inflammation. Methods: Inflammation was induced by injection of carrageenan into pouches in male Wistar rats. Oxytocin (4.25, 8.5 and 17 μg) was administered intra pouch at the same time as the carrageenan and then for 2 consecutive days. Af...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Serum Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor as a Marker of Tubal Pregnancy
Background and purpose: Tubal pregnancy is a life threatening condition that not only causes mortality but also reduces fertility by less than 50%. In many patients, the level of βhCG does not reach detection threshold, and for definite diagnosis, long-term follow-up considering βhCG titration and transvaginal ultrasonography are needed which could lead to delay in diagnosis and treatment. The ...
