The findings of a new study indicate erectile dysfunction and inflammation could be prevented by blocking the effect of endothelin-1.
Regulating the endothelin system may help inflammatory conditions. Studies found improvements in lupus, colitis and kidney injury mouse models. Findings will be presented virtually at the Seventeenth International Conference on Endothelin, hosted and organized by the American Physiological Society.
New research finds a high-salt diet may disrupt the body’s internal rhythms. The research will be presented virtually at the Seventeenth International Conference on Endothelin, hosted and organized by the American Physiological Society.
The results of three new studies indicate there could be new treatments for Alzheimer’s and stroke.
Researchers will explore how endothelin, an amino acid chain secreted by the endothelial cells that line the blood vessels, plays a role in cancer progression and lung disease sometimes caused by cancer treatment. The researchers are meeting at the Seventeenth International Conference on Endothelin (ET-17), hosted and organized by the American Physiological Society (APS).
Endothelin (ET) researchers from across the globe will meet virtually October 4–7, 2021, at the Seventeenth International Conference on Endothelin (ET-17), hosted and organized by the American Physiological Society (APS).
A common treatment for Alzheimer’s disease may help people with the earliest stages of the disease maintain mitochondrial function in their muscles in addition to slowing cognitive decline. The first-of-its-kind study is published ahead of print in Function.
A first-of-its-kind study of young adults with positive COVID-19 tests from more than 4 weeks ago found that those who were still symptomatic (i.e., long-haulers) had impaired blood vessel function in their limbs, but not brains. Asymptotic participants had blood vessel function similar to controls.
Promising new data from a recent study indicates that active forms of vitamin D can inhibit the replication and expansion of COVID-19.
A new pre-clinical study in rabbits finds breathing support with an end-expiratory pressure improves lung function in near-term newborns with elevated lung liquid volumes at birth. The study is published ahead of print in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
Frequent activity breaks from sitting may improve fasting blood sugar (glucose) levels and stabilize daily fluctuations, according to new research. The study, the first of its length to explore the effects of activity breaks in “free-living” conditions, is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism. It was chosen as an APSselect article for August.
The use of e-cigarettes (vaping) during pregnancy poses a significant health risk for the offspring, impairing blood vessel function even into adulthood, according to a new study by researchers at West Virginia University’s (WVU) School of Medicine.
Diet, more than body mass, may play a role in the risk for gut infection, and eating more fiber could be the key to prevention. The study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism.
New research suggests one year of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic exercise training improved cardiorespiratory fitness, cerebral blood flow regulation, memory and executive function in people with mild cognitive impairment. The data suggest improvement in cerebrovascular function from exercise training also has the potential to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in older adults.
An innovative model using human blood samples to study muscle protein growth may help advance scientists’ understanding of age-related muscle loss.
