(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)Introduction Previous studies show contradictory results related to the vascular effects of coffee; they suggest that caffeine increases arterial stiffness and negatively impacts vascular health, the aim of this study is ... -
Sympathetic predominance is associated with impaired endothelial progenitor cells and tunneling nanotubes in controlled-hypertensive patients.
De Cavanagh, Elena.; Gonzales, Sergio.; Inserra, Felipe.; Forcada, Pedro.; Castellano, Carlos.; Chiabut-Svane, Jorge.; Obregon, Sebastian. (American Physiological Society, 2014-05-23)Early endothelial progenitor cells (early EPC) and late EPC are involved in endothelial repair and can rescue damaged endothelial cells by transferring organelles through tunneling nanotubes (TNT). In rodents, EPC mobilization ...
