Fifty years ago, Lewis K. Dahl has presented a new model of salt hypertension –
salt-sensitive and salt-resistant Dahl rats. Twenty years later, John P. Rapp
has published the first and so far the only comprehensive review on this rat
model covering numerous aspects of pathophysiology and genetics of salt
hypertension. When we summarized 25 years of our own research on Dahl/Rapp rats,
we have real... hiện toàn bộ
Red wine polyphenols prevent cyclosporine-induced nephrotoxicity at the level of the intrinsic apoptotic pathwayPhysiological Research - - Trang 511-519 - 2009

Flavonoids, polyphenol derivatives of plant origin, possess a broad range of
pharmacological properties. A number of studies have found both
pro/anti-apoptotic effects for many of these compounds. For these reasons we
investigated whether ProvinolsTM, flavonoids obtained from red wine, have
antiapoptotic properties. The investigations have been carried out in rats
treated with Cyclosporine A (CsA)... hiện toàn bộ
Adhesion, Growth and Differentiation of Osteoblasts on Surface-Modified Materials Developed for Bone ImplantsPhysiological Research - - Trang 403-417 - 2011
Marta Vandrovcová, Lucie Bačáková
This review briefly outlines the history and possibilities of bone
reconstruction using various types of artificial materials, which allow
interaction with cells only on the surface of the implant or enable ingrowth of
cells inside the material. Information is also provided on the most important
properties of bone cells taking part in bone tissue development, and on diseases
and regeneration. The ... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of High Glucose Concentrations on Expression of ELAM 1, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in HUVEC with and without Cytokine Activation.Physiological Research - - Trang 77-82 - 2004
Tsevegjav Altannavch, K Roubalová, P Kučera, Michal Anděl
Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased prevalence of endothelial
dysfunction and development of atherosclerotic vascular diseases. We demonstrate
here that hyperglycemia results in the expression of adhesion molecules on
endothelial cells in vitro. Incubation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells
(HUVEC) in a culture medium with 11.0 mM, 16.5 mM and 22.0 mM glucose
concentrations in... hiện toàn bộ
The Steroid Spectrum During and After Quitting SmokingPhysiological Research - - Trang S211-S218 - 2015

Addiction to tobacco results in an imbalance of endocrine homeostasis in both
sexes. This can also have impacts on fertility problems. The male reproductive
system is less susceptible than that of females, with a worsening spermiogram in
smokers, the most cited effect in the literature. However, the literature is
inconsistent as to the effects of smoking on steroid hormone levels in men, and
there... hiện toàn bộ
Defective Ca2+ Handling Proteins Regulation During Heart FailurePhysiological Research - - Trang 27-37 - 2011
S.-T. HU, Gang Liu, Y.-F. SHEN, Yongliang Wang, Yansong Tang, Y.-J. YANG
Abnormal release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via the cardiac
ryanodine receptor (RyR2) may contribute to contractile dysfunction in heart
failure (HF). We previously demonstrated that RyR2 macromolecular complexes from
HF rat were significantly more depleted of FK506 binding protein (FKBP12.6).
Here we assessed expression of key Ca2+ handling proteins and measured SR Ca2+
content in c... hiện toàn bộ
Lipoprotein (a) and its position among other risk factors of atherosclerosisPhysiological Research - - Trang 777-784 - 2008

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] comprises of an LDL particle and apolipoprotein(a)
[apo(a)] and its elevated levels are considered a risk factor for
atherosclerosis. The aim of our study was to find out whether elevated Lp(a)
levels are associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis in patients with
multiple other risk factors. We further tested the association of three
polymorphisms of the apo(a) gene ... hiện toàn bộ
Spectral analysis of heart rate variability in sleep.Physiological Research - - Trang 369-376 - 2005

Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) during overnight polygraphic
recording was performed in 11 healthy subjects. The total spectrum power, power
of the VLF, LF and HF spectral bands and the mean R-R were evaluated. Compared
to Stage 2 and Stage 4 non-REM sleep, the total spectrum power was significantly
higher in REM sleep and its value gradually increased in the course of each REM

Induction of MicroRNA-24 by HIF-1 Protects Against Ischemic Injury in Rat CardiomyocytesPhysiological Research - - Trang 555-565 - 2012

MicroRNAs are emerging as important regulators of cardiac function. This study
investigated the role of microRNA-24 (miR-24) in ischemic cardiomyocytes, based
on the observation that miR-24 expression was significantly enhanced in the
ischemic myocardium of rats. Using primary cultured rat cardiomyocytes, cell
injury was induced by ischemic conditions, and the cells were evaluated for
changes in l... hiện toàn bộ
New Insights Into the Physiology of Bone Regulation: the Role of NeurohormonesPhysiological Research - - Trang 421-427 - 2014
I Žofková, Petr Matucha
Bone metabolism is regulated by interaction between two skeletal cells –
osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Function of these cells is controlled by a number
of humoral factors, including neurohormones, which ensure equilibrium between
bone resorption and bone formation. Influence of neurohormones on bone
metabolism is often bimodal and depends on the tissue, in which the hormone is
expressed. While hyp... hiện toàn bộ
