The influence of acute normobaric hypoxia on total pool of human plasma fatty acids was studied in experiment (respiration of hypoxic gas mixture containing 8% of O2, during 25 min). Health status of participants-volunteers and the hypoxia intensity were monitored with a complex of
It has been shown that cell-to-cell chemical coupling may persist during severe myocardial hypoxia or ischemia. We aimed to analyze the effects of different, chemically unrelated gap junction uncouplers on the progression of ischemic injury in hypoxic myocardium. First, we analyzed the effects of
Metabolic changes in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) impair vasodilation, and this leads to tissue hypoxia and microvascular pathology. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can significantly improve the outcome of ischemic conditions in IDDM patients and reduce vascular
The role of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) in regulating the pulmonary circulation and the participation of cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) activity and gap junction intercellular communication in EDHF-mediated pulmonary vasodilation are unclear. We tested whether tonic EDHF activity
BACKGROUND- Palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), palmitoleic acid (16:1n-7), and oleic acid (18:1n-9) are major saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids that affect cellular signaling and metabolic pathways. They are synthesized via de novo lipogenesis and are the main saturated and
