health20-20.org : Cardiovascular System and Alcohol
نویسنده
چکیده
A variety of cardiovascular disorders have been associated with chronic alcohol use. These range from heart failure and sudden death to hypertension and stroke. In contrast to alcoholic cirrhosis where clinical and laboratory evidence readily leads to appropriate diagnosis, the relationship of the cardiovascular system to chronic alcohol use is more difficult to identify. The variation of organ involvement is considered to be genetically determined, but nongenetic factors presumably contribute to the process.

health20-20.org : Alcohol's Effect on the Liver
In one study volunteers consumed the equivalent of at least a six-pack of beer a day, along with high protein diets enriched in minerals and vitamins. After one "weekend" of drinking, fat accumulation in the liver was already detectable by chemical analysis. In another study, baboons were given an adequate diet, but had alcohol as 50 percent of their total calories. All developed fatty liver. I...
متن کاملStudy the Antinociceptive Effect of Intracerebroventricular Injection of Aqueous Extract of Origanum Vulgare Leaves in Rat: Possible Involvement of Opioid System
Objective(s): The aim of study was to investigate the antinociceptive effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) microinjection of Origanum vulgare (ORG) extract and possible involvement of opioid receptors. Materials and Methods: Cannula was inserted into left ventricle of male rats. Five days after surgery Tail Flick Latency (TFL) was measured after ICV microinjection of, ORG (1, 3 and 6 μg ...
متن کاملEffects of a new neuromuscular blocking agent (Org 9426) in anaesthetized cats and pigs and in isolated nerve-muscle preparations.
The effects of Org 9426 (the 2-morpholino, 3-hydroxy, 16N-allyl pyrrolidino analogue of vecuronium) were studied in anaesthetized cats and pigs and in isolated nerve--muscle preparations using tension and intracellular recording techniques. In isolated preparations, the effects of Org 9426 were antagonized by neostigmine. No contracture of the chick muscle preparation occurred. Org 9426 reduced...
متن کاملThe glycine reuptake inhibitor Org 25935 decreases ethanol intake and preference in male wistar rats.
UNLABELLED Previous findings from our group indicate that accumbal glycine receptors (GlyRs) are involved in mediating the dopamine (DA) activating effects of ethanol (EtOH), and that administration of glycine locally into the nucleus accumbens (nAc) reduces EtOH consumption in EtOH high-preferring rats. AIMS The present study examines the influence of a systemically administered glycine reup...
متن کاملProgesterone increases nitric oxide synthesis in human vascular endothelial cells through activation of membrane progesterone receptor-α.
Progesterone exerts beneficial effects on the human cardiovascular system by inducing rapid increases in nitric oxide (NO) production in vascular endothelial cells, but the receptors mediating these nongenomic progesterone actions remain unclear. Using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as a model, we show that progesterone binds to plasma membranes of HUVECs with the characteristi...
