Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Threshold concentrations of endothelin-1 potentiate contractions to norepinephrine and serotonin in human arteries. A new mechanism of vasospasm?

Zhihong Yang, +6 more
- 01 Jul 1990 - 
TL;DR: To study whether low concentrations of endothelin-1 potentiate the effects of other vasoconstrictor hormones, suspended isolated human internal mammary and left anterior descending coronary artery rings in organ chambers for isometric tension recording.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho GTPase/Rho kinase negatively regulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation through the inhibition of protein kinase B/Akt in human endothelial cells.

Xiu-Fen Ming, +6 more
- 15 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Rho/ROCK pathway negatively regulates eNOS phosphorylation through inhibition of PKB, whereas it downregulates eNos expression independent of P KB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction between endothelin-1 and endothelium-derived relaxing factor in human arteries and veins.

Thomas F. Lüscher, +8 more
- 01 Apr 1990 - 
TL;DR: EDRF inhibits endothelin-1-induced contractions, whereas the peptide specifically attenuates the effects of EDRF and nitrovasodilators in veins, which may be important in pathological conditions associated with increased levels of endotheli-1 and in veins used as coronary bypass grafts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ectopic fat storage in heart, blood vessels and kidneys in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases

Jean-Pierre Montani, +5 more
- 13 Dec 2004 - 
TL;DR: Accumulation of fat around blood vessels (perivascular fat) may affect vascular function in a paracrine manner, as perivascularfat cells secrete vascular relaxing factors, proatherogenic cytokines and smooth muscle cell growth factors, which could mechanically contribute to the increased vascular stiffness seen in obesity.
