HUMAN UMBILICAL CORD EXPRESSES SEVERAL VASOACTIVE PEPTIDES INVOLVED IN THE LOCAL REGULATION OF VASCULAR TONE: PROTEIN AND GENE EXPRESSION OF ORPHANIN, OXYTOCIN, ANP, ENOS AND INOS

Human umbilical cord expresses several vasoactive peptides involved in the local regulation of vascular tone: protein and gene expression of Orphanin, Oxytocin, ANP, eNOS and iNOS

Full-term human umbilical cord contains three blood vessels: two arteries coiled around a vein and surrounded by Wharton’s jelly, a mucous tissue with few mesenchymal stromal cells and abundant extracellular matrix.Umbilical vessels lack innervations, thus endothelial cells must play a role in the control of blood flow.The aim of this stu

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Abstract Hypoplastic left heart syndrome(HLHS) refers to the abnormal development of the left-sided cardiac structures, resulting in obstruction to blood flow from the left ventricular outflow tract.In addition, the syndrome includes underdevelopment of the left ventricle, aorta, and aortic arch, as well as mitral atresia or stenosis.HLHS has been

Variable Responses to Carbon Utilization between Planktonic and Biofilm Cells of a Human copyright Strain of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S.Typhi) is a foodborne pathogen that causes typhoid fever and infects only humans.The ability of S.Typhi to survive outside the human host remains unclear, particularly in human copyright strains.In this study, we have investigated the catabolic activity of a human copyright S.Typhi strain in both planktonic and
