Hyperglycemic but not normoglycemic global ischemia induces marked early intraneuronal expression of beta-amyloid precursor protein.
Preischemic hyperglycemia is known to accentuate acute ischemic injury to neurons, microglia, and endothelia. In the present study, we used a monoclonal antibody to the N-terminal portion of beta-APP to examine how the immunoreactivity of this normal membrane glycoprotein is differentially influenced by transient cerebral ischemia when carried out under normoglycemic vs. hyperglycemic condition...
متن کاملPharmacodynamic characterization of nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatory activity in isolated perfused rat mesenteric artery bed.
Vasodilation profiles following a short-term infusion of nitric oxide (NO), acetylcholine (ACh), and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) into an isolated perfused mesenteric artery bed were analyzed in rats to examine their vasodilatory efficacy under physiological conditions. These compounds commonly increase the intracellular NO concentration to exert vasodilatory activity. In an experiment with exoge...
متن کاملMicrovascular Blood Flow Improvement in Hyperglycemic Obese Adult Patients by Hypocaloric Diet
The present study was aimed to assess the changes in skin microvascular blood flow (SBF) in newly diagnosed hyperglycemic obese subjects, administered with hypocaloric diet. Adult patients were recruited and divided in three groups: NW group (n=54), NG (n=54) and HG (n=54) groups were constituted by normal weight, normoglycemic and hyperglycemic obese subjects, respectively. SBF was measured by...
متن کاملAbsence of mannose-binding lectin prevents hyperglycemic cardiovascular complications.
Diabetes, stress, pharmaceuticals, surgery, and physical trauma can lead to hyperglycemic conditions. A consistent relationship has been found between chronic inflammation and the cardiovascular complications of hyperglycemia. We hypothesized that cardiomyopathy and vasculopathy resulting from acute hyperglycemia are dependent on mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and lectin complement pathway activa...
متن کاملRelaxation by urocortin of rat renal arteries: effects of diabetes in males and females.
OBJECTIVE Urocortin is a peptide structurally related to corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), and the present study was performed to examine the effects of diabetes mellitus on the relaxation by urocortin of renal arteries from males and females. METHODS The response to urocortin was studied in isolated segments, 2 mm long, from renal arteries, from male and female, control (normoglycemic) a...
