Journal ArticleDOI
Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channels are responsible for histamine-induced Ca2+ entry, permeability increase, and interleukin synthesis in lymphatic endothelial cells
TL;DR: The data demonstrated the essential role of CRAC channels in mediating the [Ca2+]i signaling and downstream endothelial barrier and inflammatory functions induced by histamine in the LECs, suggesting a promising potential to relieve histamine-triggered vascular leakage and inflammatory disorders in the lymphatics by targeting CRAC channel functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetrahydrobiopterin attenuates superoxide-induced reduction in nitric oxide.
TL;DR: The production of ·O2(-) was increased when cells were pretreated with an inhibitor of BH4 synthesis and decreased following pretreatment with a BH 4 precursor, suggesting that NADPH oxidase-induced imbalance of endothelial NO and ·O 2(-) production can be modulated by Bh4 concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Short-term CrM supplementation (10 g · d-1 for 5-days) significantly increased whole body Cr retention and muscle free Cr content, however, ingesting 500 mg of RT 30-min prior to CrM Supplementation did not affect wholeBody Cr retention, muscle freeCr content, or anaerobic sprint capacity in comparison to ingesting CrM with a placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetrahydrobiopterin: Important Endothelial Mediator Independent of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase
Cynthia J. Meininger,Guoyao Wu +1 more
TL;DR: Tetrahydrobiopterin is an essential cofactor for diverse cellular processes and has scavenging capabilities, reacting with superoxide anion radicals peroxynitrite and hydrogen peroxide and is potently influenced by oxidative stress in cells.

TL;DR: In this article, a food frequency questionnaire was completed by healthy adult men and women at days 0 and 90 of the study, and data from the food questionnaire were analyzed with a nutrient analysis program (www.Harvardsffq.date).
