Antecedent hydrogen sulfide elicits an anti-inflammatory phenotype in postischemic murine small intestine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Ischemia followed by reperfusion (I/R) is now well-recognized as one form of acute inflammation in which leukocytes play a key role. Preconditioning is a phenomenon through which antecedent exposure to a particular stimulus ... -
Maladaptation of cardiac and skeletal muscle in chronic disease : effects of exercise
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The human genome is adapted for daily physical activity (85). Thus, a sedentary lifestyle is capable of promoting detrimental consequences to human health. The linkage between lack of sufficient physical activity and the ... -
The mechanism for paraquat toxicity involves oxidative stress and inflammation : a model for Parkinson's disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder known to affect the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of developing PD with exposure to paraquat. ... -
Mechanisms of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase-induced preconditioning in ischemia/reperfusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)We have previously demonstrated that consuming ethanol (ethanol preconditioning or EPC) at low levels 24 hrs prior to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) prevents postischemic leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesive interactions (LEI) ... -
Roles of sex and insulin on microvascular exchange function
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)A characteristic of endothelial dysfunction, which is observed in the beginning stages of type 2 diabetes, is the alteration of the microvascular barrier, affecting the microvascular permeability. We measured the venular ...
