It has been known for many years that immune system alterations occur in Parkinson's
disease (PD). Changes in lymphocyte populations in cerebrospinal fluid and blood …

Under normal physiological conditions, coronary blood flow is closely matched with the rate
of myocardial oxygen consumption. This matching of flow and metabolism is physiologically …

Nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibition reduces leg glucose uptake during cycling without
reducing leg blood flow (LBF) in young, healthy individuals. This study sought to determine …

Myogenic response, flow-dependent dilation, and direct metabolic control are important
mechanisms controlling coronary flow. A model was developed to study how these control …

Background—Endogenous nitric oxide (NO) has been reported to inhibit oxygen
consumption in the normal heart, so that nonselective inhibition of NO synthase (NOS) …

Basal/tonal nitric oxide (NO) production helps maintain particular microenvironments, ie,
vascular. Besides NO's function in controlling the activation state of various tissues such as …

Coronary tone is determined by a balance between endogenously produced endothelin and
metabolic dilators. We hypothesized that coronary vasodilation during augmented …

The contribution of nitric oxide (NO) to exercise-induced hyperemia is debated. Previous
conclusions that nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition reduces endothelium-dependent …

Oxidative capacity of muscles correlates with capillary density and with microcirculation,
which in turn depend on various regulatory factors, including NO generated by endothelial …

Objective: To investigate whether blood flow in normal and post-stenotic coronary arteries is
altered by therapeutic doses of the sulfonylurea agent glibenclamide. Patients: 12 patients …
