Journal ArticleDOI

Serum prostacyclin stabilizing factor is identical to apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I). A novel function of Apo A-I.

TL;DR: PGI2 stabilization by HDL and Apo A-I may be an important protective action against the accumulation of platelet thrombi at sites of vascular damage and the beneficial effect of HDL in the prevention of coronary artery disease may be partly due to this action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and structural characterization of the human endothelial nitric-oxide-synthase gene

TL;DR: Of particular interest is the fact that a shear-stress-responsive element is located at position -985, which probably regulates the nitric-oxide-synthase gene in response to fluid mechanical forces at the transcriptional level in the vascular endothelium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Excessive activation of matrix metalloproteinases coincides with left ventricular remodeling during transition from hypertrophy to heart failure in hypertensive rats

TL;DR: Both TIMPs and MMP-2 remained inactive during hypertrophy, per se; they were activated during the transition to CHF, possibly resulting in ECM breakdown and progression of LV enlargement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of TGF-β1-TAK1-p38 MAPK pathway in spared cardiomyocytes is involved in left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction in rats

TL;DR: Transforming growth factor-β1 alters myocardial gene expression, resulting in myocyte hypertrophy, through activation of TGF-β-activated kinase (TAK1), a member of the mitogen-activated pr...
