Vascular access dysfunction causes morbidity in hemodialysis patients. This study
examined the generation and pathobiological significance of superoxide anion in a rat …

Heme oxygenase-2 (HO-2), the constitutive isoform of the heme-degrading enzyme heme
oxygenase, may serve as an anti-inflammatory vasorelaxant, in part, by generating carbon …

The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred hemodialysis vascular access, but it is
complicated by high failure rates and attendant morbidity. This study provides the first …

Vascular access dysfunction contributes to the mortality of patients undergoing chronic
hemodialysis. The present study analyzed the changes that evolve in a femoral …

Venous bypass grafts are more prone to accelerated atherosclerosis than arterial grafts,
which is partly related to increased oxidative stress and diminished nitric oxide …

The study of hemodynamic alterations following the creation of an arteriovenous fistula
(AVF) is relevant to vascular adaptive responses and hemodialysis access dysfunction. This …

Vein graft intimal hyperplasia, due to smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, remains a
limiting factor in long-term vein graft patency. Increased superoxide production regulates …

Varicose veins is one of the most common diseases observed in developed countries.
Recent studies have shown that oxidative stress is increased in varicose veins, particularly …

The source of superoxide (O2·−) production and cell-to-cell interactions of O2·− and nitric
oxide (NO) in response to angiotensin II (AngII) were studied by fluorescence microscopic …

Background. Increases in oxidant stress, ie excessive production of superoxide anion PO2
Ā), have been reported in different models of hypertension. This study was designed to test …
