Treadmill training and clonidine, an alpha-2 noradrenergic agonist, have been shown to improve locomotion after spinal cord injury. We speculate that transmission in load pathways, which are involved in body support during stance, is specifically modified by training. This was evaluated by comparing two groups of spinal cats; one group (n = 11) was trained to walk until full-weight-bearing (3-4...

BACKGROUND An emerging concept is that a neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) may regulate myocardial contractility. However, a role for NOS1-derived nitric oxide (NO) in heart failure (HF) has not been defined. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a model of myocardial infarction-induced HF, we demonstrated that cardiac NOS1 expression and activity increased in HF rats (P<0.05 and P<0.001 v...

After myocardial infarction (MI), there is progressive left ventricular (LV) remodeling and impaired exercise capacity. We tested the hypothesis that LV remodeling results in structural and functional changes that determine exercise impairment post-MI. Rats underwent coronary artery ligation (n = 12) or sham (n = 11) surgery followed by serial exercise tests and echocardiography for 16 wk post-...

Divan şiirinin kurucu şairleri arasında yer alan Ahmedî’nin Türkçenin işlenmesine ve gelişmesine önemli katkıları olmuştur. Onun şiirlerinde Eski Anadolu Türkçesinin dil imla özelliklerini görmek mümkündür. Bu nedenle şiirleri, hem divan ilk örneklerinden olması, şiiri geleneğinin başlangıcının anlaşılması de anlatım özellikleriyle gelişiminin izlenebilmesi bakımından dönemine ışık tutan değerl...
