Background & Aim: Free radicals play a crucial role in the development of tissue damage in various human diseases such as cancer, aging, neurodegenerative disease, malaria and arteriosclerosis, and pathological events in living organisms. Antioxidants may have an important role in the prevention of these diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate potency of scavenging of DPPH free radicals ...

AIM We mapped the situation within a group of diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) in the Slovak Republic during 1996-2014. We focused mainly on spatiotemporal differences in mortality while controlling for age and sex. METHODS We performed binary logistic regression aiming to reveal socio-demographic factors that influence the odds of dying due to diseases of the circulatory system (...

W HEN the heart stops, the arterial pressure falls and the venous pressure rises until aftes 30-50 seconds the two pressures almost reach equilibrium. This equilibrium pressure, which presumably is equal to the pressure in all portions of the circulatory system, has in previous studies from this laboratory (1-3) and in this present study been called the ‘mean circulatory filling pressure.’ The ...

Accumulating evidence suggests that gut bacteria play a role in homeostasis of the circulatory system in mammals. First, gut bacteria may affect the nervous control of the circulatory system via the sensory fibres of the enteric nervous system. Second, gut bacteria-derived metabolites may cross the gut-blood barrier and target blood vessels, the heart and other organs involved in the regulation...
