SOD1 overexpression prevents acute hyperglycemia-induced cerebral myogenic dysfunction: relevance to contralateral hemisphere and stroke outcomes.

Admission hyperglycemia (HG) amplifies vascular injury and neurological deficits in acute ischemic stroke, but the mechanisms remain controversial. We recently reported that ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury impairs the myogenic response in both hemispheres via increased nitration. However, whether HG amplifies contralateral myogenic dysfunction and whether loss of tone in the contralateral hem...

Increased Risk of Kidney Disorders in Patients with Coronavirus 2019: A Letter to the Editor

Background and Objectives: Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) has become a global disease that can affect various organs of the human body. Kidney disorders are the most common disorders in patients with Covid-19. Kidney involvement manifests as proteinuria and acute kidney injury (AKI). This virus can cause acute tubular necrosis, protein leakage in the Bowman's capsule, glomerulopathy, and mitochond...
