Journal ArticleDOI

Discoidin domain Receptor 2: A determinant of metabolic syndrome-associated arterial fibrosis in non-human primates.

TL;DR: A significant increase in collagen type 1 levels along with collagen and ECM remodeling, degradation of elastic laminae, enhanced fat deposition and calcification in the abdominal aorta in a non-human primate model of high-fat, high-sucrose diet (HFS)-induced metabolic syndrome is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Body Size on Cardiovascular Function. Can We See the Meat Through the Fat

TL;DR: 2 important issues facing CV research are highlighted: which body dimension descriptor, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), or body surface area (BSA), is optimal for scaling various CV measures; and which mathematical scaling method should be used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Auto-Antibody Production During Experimental Atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- Mice.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchical order of antibody specificity was found for plaque formation in ApoE-/- Aid-/- mice compared to C57BL/6J controls, suggesting a more complex dynamic than previously described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linkage of Cardiac Gene Expression Profiles and ETS2 with Lifespan Variability in Rats

TL;DR: Variations in ETS2 abundance in hearts of adult rodents and the associated loss of CMs contribute at least partially, to the longevity variability observed during normal aging of rats through activation of programmed necrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiologic gating properties of unitary cardiac L-type Ca2+ channels.

TL;DR: Novel results establish the voltage-dependence of unitary LCC gating kinetics using a physiologic Ca(2+) ion concentration and provide insight into localCa(2+)-induced Ca( 2+) release and a more accurate basis for mathematical modeling of excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac myocytes.
