Published in Frontiers in Physiology
This study aimed to compare vascular function, cardiometabolic parameters, hemorheological function, and cardiorespiratory fitness in middle-aged Korean women according to obesity defined using body mass index (BMI). A total of 32 Korean women aged between 34 and 60 years (16 without obesity, mean age 46.31 ± 7.49 years and 16 with obesity, mean ag...
Examination of Sex-Specific Participant Inclusion in Exercise Physiology Endothelial Function Research: A Systematic Rev...
Published in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
Background To combat historical underrepresentation of female participants in research, guidelines have been established to motivate equal participation by both sexes. However, the pervasiveness of female exclusion has not been examined in vascular exercise physiology research. The purpose of this study was to systematically quantify the sex-specif...
Concentration of Selected Metalloproteinases and Osteocalcin in the Serum and Synovial Fluid of Obese Women with Advance...
Published in International journal of environmental research and public health
The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of selected MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) and osteocalcin in the serum and synovial fluid of obese women with osteoarthritis and their correlations with clinical status. The studied group consisted of 39 overweight females undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis (OA). The s...
GLOBAL REACH 2018: intra-arterial vitamin C improves endothelial-dependent vasodilatory function in humans at high altit...
Published in The Journal of physiology
High altitude-induced hypoxaemia is often associated with peripheral vascular dysfunction. However, the basic mechanism(s) underlying high-altitude vascular impairments remains unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress contributes to the impairments in endothelial function during early acclimatization to high altitude. Ten you...
Arterial Stiffness in a Cohort of Young People Living With Perinatal HIV and HIV Negative Young People in England
...Published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has increased life expectancy and consequently the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults living with HIV. We investigated the levels and predictors of arterial stiffness in young people (YP) living with perinatal HIV (PHIV) and HIV negative YP in the Adolescents and Adults Living with Perinatal HIV (...
Bioprinted microvasculature: progressing from structure to function
Published in Biofabrication
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting seeks to unlock the rapid generation of complex tissue constructs, but long-standing challenges with efficient in vitro microvascularization must be solved before this can become a reality. Microvasculature is particularly challenging to biofabricate due to the presence of a hollow lumen, a hierarchically branched...
The Impact of Serial Remote Ischemic Conditioning on Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation and Brain Injury Related Biomarkers...
Published in Frontiers in Physiology
Objective Recent studies have demonstrated the positive roles of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) in patients with cerebrovascular diseases; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the effect of serial RIC on dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) and serum biomarkers associated with brain injury, both of which are rela...
A Contemporary Review of the Effects of Exercise Training on Cardiac Structure and Function and Cardiovascular Risk Prof...
Published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Exercise is a commonly prescribed therapy for patients with established cardiovascular disease or those at high risk for de novo disease. Exercise-based, multidisciplinary programs have been associated with improved clinical outcomes post myocardial infarction and is now recommended for patients with cancer at elevated risk for cardiovascular compl...
