Improvement of vascular insulin sensitivity by downregulation of GRK2 mediates exercise-induced alleviation of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Exercise training lowers blood pressure and is a recommended nonpharmacological strategy and useful adjunctive therapy for hypertensive patients. Studies demonstrate that physical activity attenuates progression of hypertension. However, underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Vascular insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction plays a critical role in the development of hypertension. The pre...
متن کاملIntensification of brain injury and blood-brain barrier permeability by short-term hypertension in experimental model of brain ischemia/reperfusion
Introduction: Arterial hypertension is one of the causes of stroke, and as one of the vasculotoxic conditions intensifies ischemic stroke complications. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of short-term cerebral hypertension on ischemia/reperfusion injury and pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Methods: The experiments were performed on three groups of rats (N=36) Sham, cont...
متن کاملDeath-associated protein kinase 3 mediates vascular inflammation and development of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a Ca2+/calmodulin-regulated serine/threonine kinase that mediates cell death. Our recent study demonstrated that DAPK3 protein increases in the mesenteric artery from spontaneously hypertensive rats compared with Wistar Kyoto rats. Pathogenesis of hypertension is modulated at least in part by vascular inflammation. We examined whether DAPK3 mediates vas...
متن کاملA novel mechanism for vascular insulin resistance in normotensive young SHRs: hypoadiponectinemia and resultant APPL1 downregulation.
Vascular insulin resistance contributes to elevated peripheral vascular resistance and subsequent hypertension. Clinical observation showed that lower plasma adiponectin concentration is significantly associated with hypertension. This study was aimed to determine whether hypoadiponectinemia induces vascular insulin resistance before systemic hypertension and the underlying mechanisms. Four-wee...
متن کاملEffects of Short-term Renovascular Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes on Cardiac Functions in Rats
Background: The cardiac effects simultaneously occurring during experimental hypertension and diabetes have rarely been investigated. This study aimed at examining the effects of short-term renovascular hypertension and type 2 diabetes on cardiac functions. Methods: Five groups (7 each) of male Sprague-Dawley rats, including a control group, a diabetes (induced by Streptozocin and Nicotinamide)...
