16. Mental Stress and Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilation
Abstract : The endothelium plays an important part in blood flow regulation by producing the vasodilatory substance nitric oxide (NO). Various studies have shown that commonly accepted risk factors for coronary heart disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, smoking and mental stress impair endothelium-derived vasodilation by the NO-pathway.

17. Effects of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (AT₁ receptor blocker) candesartan cilexetil on systemic and renal haemodynamics in hypertensive patients
Abstract : Established primary hypertension is primarily characterised by elevated peripheral resistance and an increase in renal vascular resistance. Antagonism of angiotensin II may be a particularly relevant intervention in this condition, as angiotensin II is known to act both as a powerful vasoconstrictor and as a stimulus to vascular hyperthrophy.

19. Experimental studies of the regulations of synthesis and release of tissue-type plasminogen activator from vascular endothelium
Abstract : The fibrinolytic system has several important functions and one crucial function is the prevention and removal of fibrin deposits in blood vessels. Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) plays a key role in this process, and in vitro data suggest that an acute release of t-PA is induced as a thromboprotective response whenever clotting mechanisms are initiated.

20. Sampling depth in Laser Doppler flowmetry
Abstract : The influence of probe design on the measuring depth in laser Doppler flowmetry using a 632.8 nm light source has been investigated by in vivo models and Monte Carlo simulations. Five different probe configurations were used to measure perfusion in feline intestine to which a constant blood flow was applied. READ MORE
