Experiments were undertaken to determine whether angiotensin (Ang) II concentration increases during massive sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation and whether such an increase plays a role in the pathogenesis of SNS-induced left ventricular…

Oral processing is essential in breaking down the physicochemical structure of the food and thus important to the sensory perception of food in the mouth. To have an understanding of protein-based, soft-solid texture perception, a multidisciplinary…
In previous studies, we have shown overexpression and ectopic subcellular distribution of gamma-tubulin and beta III-tubulin in human glioblastomas and glioblastoma cell lines (Katsetos et al., 2006,] Neuropathol Exp Neurol 65:455-467; Katsetos et…
This paper investigates two model-free methods for numerical deconvolution of recirculating indicator concentration curves. The two methods, damped least squares and discrete orthogonal polynomial deconvolution, are applied to simulated data to…
This article presents a case of acute mesenteric vein thrombosis with small bowel infarction associated with pancreatitis. Although a rare occurrence, the authors suggest this diagnosis should be considered as a possible complication of pancreatic…

Cardiovascular diseases are often considered to be a predominantly male health problem, and it has been suggested that testosterone exerts deleterious effects on cardiovascular function; however, few experimental studies support this suggestion.…
The discovery of mechanisms that regulate salt and water transport by the alveolar and distal airway epithelium of the lung has generated new insights into the regulation of lung fluid balance under both normal and pathological conditions. There is…
1. Activation of GABA(A) receptors can produce both hyperpolarizing and depolarizing responses in CA1 pyramidal cells. The hyperpolarizing response is mediated by a Cl- conductance, but the ionic basis of the depolarizing response is not clear. We…
Transport of protein across the alveolar epithelial barrier is a critical process in recovery from pulmonary edema and is also important in maintaining the alveolar milieu in the normal healthy lung. Various mechanisms have been proposed for clearing…

1. Gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) (GABA(A)) receptor-mediated inhibition of pyramidal neuron dendrites was studied in area CA1 of the rat hippocampal slice preparation with the use of intracellular and extracellular recording and one-dimensional current…
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cryopreservation on the components of articular cartilage (AC) matrix by utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biochemical assessments. Porcine AC (10 mm osteochondral dowels) was…
