Bovine myometrium and cervix contain luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin
(LH/hCG) binding sites, LH receptor (LH-R) messenger RNA (mRNA), and LH-R protein …

Hearts from Sprague–Dawley rats were perfused at constant flow and then exposed to 30
min global zero-flow ischemia followed by 15 min reperfusion. After ischemia–reperfusion …

Tissue-engineered vascular grafts may one day provide a solution to many of the limitations
associated with using synthetic vascular grafts. However, identifying a suitable cell source …

Most existing knowledge about [Ca2+] i signaling in vascular endothelium has been based
on studies using endothelial cells cultured in vitro. To examine how endothelial cells behave …

We have previously reported that bovine endometrium contains LH/human CG binding
receptors and LH induces cyclooxygenase and prostaglandin production in the bovine …

We previously found that injection of 15-μm microspheres into the bronchial artery of sheep
decreased bronchial artery resistance. This effect was inhibited partially by indomethacin or …

Abstract Approximately 500,000 coronary artery and 100,000 upper and lower limb bypass
procedures are performed yearly to address heart attacks and side effects due to peripheral …

There are a few reports suggesting that arachidonic acid may have direct regulatory actions
in cells or tissues which are independent of the released endogenous metabolites …

Recently, it has been demonstrated that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) affect
coronary vascular tone. We have reported that unstimulated PMNs constrict the porcine …
