11. Effects of physical exercise on coronary and peripheral vascular function. An integrative physiological study from rat to man
Abstract : Physical exercise is beneficial for the cardiovascular health. Numerous epidemiological studies reveal that physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular related death. Nevertheless, the underlying vessel wall specific physiological and molecular mechanisms still remain incompletely understood. READ MORE

12. Endothelin and the regulation of peripheral and uteroplacental vascular tone during pregnancy
Abstract : The mechanism behind the vascular adaptation during pregnancy is poorly understood. The fall in peripheral resistance, particularly in the uterine vasculature, is crucial for sufficient increase in uteroplacental blood flow and thereby for normal fetal growth and development. READ MORE

13. The importance of endothelin-1 for vascular function in patients with atherosclerosis and healthy controls
Abstract : Background: Atherosclerosis is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which is an early sign with prognostic implications in patients with coronary artery disease. Atherosclerosis is also associated with enhanced expression of the vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1). READ MORE

14. Cardiovascular and metabolic effects of endothelins in man : an experimental and clinical study
Abstract : Increased plasma concentrations of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and of its propeptide big endothelin-1 have been reported in diseases associated with endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular remodelling and insulin resistance. In this thesis, we studied the hemodynamic effects of big ET-1 in healthy humans focusing on the mechanisms of the effects (study I-IV). READ MORE

15. Laser doppler tissue flowmetry : fiberoptic methods in microvascular research
Abstract : Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) constitutes a method for measuring the flux of blood cells in the microcirculatory bed. Photons are scattered in the moving blood cells, where they undergo a frequency shift according to the Doppler principle. READ MORE
