Background: Few clinical studies have assessed Rho kinase (ROCK) in patients with
diabetes mellitus (DM) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study …

Accumulating evidence suggests that Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) may be important in
the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary vasospasm. In the present study, we …

Background Accumulating evidence indicates that Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) has been
involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and diabetes. However, little clinical …

Background Recent experimental evidence suggests that the Rho/Rho-kinase (ROCK)
system may play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) …

Background The intracellular ROCK signaling pathway is an important modulator of blood
pressure and of cardiovascular and renal remodeling when Rho-kinase activity is increased …

Objectives: We sought to determine whether Rho kinase (ROCK) activity is increased in a
Taiwanese population with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Background: Recent studies …

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the molecular mechanisms by which
cardiac Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) activation after …

Rho-associated kinases play an important role in a variety of cellular functions. Although
Rho-associated kinase activity has been shown to be an independent predictor for future …

Aims Rho kinases (ROCKs) are the best characterized effectors of the small G‐protein
RhoA, and play a role in enhanced vasoconstriction in animal models of congestive heart …

Rho-associated kinases ROCK1 and ROCK2 are serine/threonine kinases that are
downstream targets of the small GTPases RhoA, RhoB, and RhoC. ROCKs are involved in …
