Journal ArticleDOI
siRNA Versus miRNA as Therapeutics for Gene Silencing
TL;DR: This review provides a comparison between therapeutic siRNAs and miRNAs in terms of their mechanisms of action, physicochemical properties, delivery, and clinical applications and the challenges in developing both classes of RNA as therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular nitric oxide: Beyond eNOS
TL;DR: Dysfunction in the production and/or the bioavailability of NO characterizes endothelial dysfunction, which is associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thirty Years of Saying NO: Sources, Fate, Actions, and Misfortunes of the Endothelium-Derived Vasodilator Mediator.
TL;DR: Genetic and pharmacological interventions improve dysfunctional NO-mediated vasodilatations if protecting the supply of substrate and cofactors for endothelial NO synthase, preserving the presence and activity of the enzyme and reducing reactive oxygen species generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-activity relationships of flavonoids for vascular relaxation in porcine coronary artery
TL;DR: The findings indicated that the most effective relaxing agents are apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol and genistein, which possess the key chemical structures demonstrated in the SAR analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Puerarin, an isoflavonoid derived from Radix puerariae, potentiates endothelium-independent relaxation via the cyclic AMP pathway in porcine coronary artery.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that puerarin enhanced sodium nitroprusside-induced relaxation, possibly via the cyclic AMP-dependent pathway.
