Hypertension Promotes Phosphorylation of Focal Adhesion Kinase and Proline-Rich Tyrosine Kinase 2 in Rats: Implication for the Pathogenesis of Hypertensive Vascular Disease

TL;DR: Results indicate that phosphorylation of FAK and PYK2 is upregulated by elevated blood pressure but not by humoral factors in the rat aorta, demonstrating novel aspects of atherogenesis in hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein: still need for next-generation biomarkers for remote future cardiovascular events

TL;DR: After studying 268 803 Korean men and women, the authors demonstrated that hsCRP levels are much lower in this population than in Caucasians, and showed that the association with future cardiovascular events is stronger in men than in women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase-independent effects of an ACE inhibitor on coronary flow response to bradykinin in aged mice.

TL;DR: Results indicate that coronary flow response to bradykinin is preserved in aged mice even in the absence of eNOS, and an ACE inhibitor augments this response by both eNos-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
