Ghrelin Does not Alter Aortic Intima-Media Thickness and Adipose Tissue Characteristics in Control and Obese Mice
Objective(s): Atherosclerosis is a chronic immune-inflammatory disease that generally leads to ischemic heart disease. Ghrelin has several modulatory effects on cardiovascular system. In this study, we investigated the effect of ghrelin on aortic intima-media thickness, size and the number of adipocyte cells in obese and control mice. Materials and Methods:This study was conducted on 24 male C...
متن کاملTissue engineering of heart valves: decellularized porcine and human valve scaffolds differ importantly in residual potential to attract monocytic cells.
BACKGROUND Tissue-engineered or decellularized heart valves have already been implanted in humans or are currently approaching the clinical setting. The aim of this study was to examine the migratory response of human monocytic cells toward decellularized porcine and human heart valves, a pivotal step in the early immunologic reaction. METHODS AND RESULTS Porcine and human pulmonary valve con...
متن کاملI-19: The Selective Vitamin D Receptor Agonist Elocalcitol Reduces Development of Endometriosis and Formation of Peritoneal Adhesion in A Mouse Model
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Endometrial cells from retrograde menstruation implant on peritoneal surfaces and elicit an inflammatory response, associated with angiogenesis, fibrosis, neuronal infiltration, and anatomical distortion. Affecting an estimated 176 million women worldwide, the condition is sti...
متن کاملXenoantigenicity of porcine decellularized valves
BACKGROUND The xenoantigenicity of porcine bioprosthetic valves is implicated as an etiology leading to calcification and subsequent valve failure. Decellularization of porcine valves theoretically could erase the antigenicity of the tissue leading to more durable prosthetic valves, but the effectiveness of decellularization protocols in regard to completely removing antigens has yet to be veri...
متن کاملTissue Engineering in Dentistery
Introduction Perforation of maxillary sinus mucous membrane is of the most prevalent complication during open sinus lift surgery. Moreover, such complication can usually be managed by an absorbable membrane. As far as absorbable membranes are concerned, decellularized maxillary sinus mucous membranes, which is an extracellular matrix, can be used as a biologic scaffold and insulating membrane ...
