Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by episodes of intermittent hypoxia (IH), is
highly prevalent in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, whether IH …

Introduction High salt intake and aldosterone are both associated with vascular stiffening in
humans. However, our preliminary work showed that high dietary salt alone did not increase …

Background Development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with
proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin‐12 (IL12). Deficiency of interleukin 12p40 …

Clinical and experimental studies show that angiotensin II (AngII) promotes vascular
pathology via activation of AngII type 1 receptors (AT1Rs). We recently reported that NP …

Background Excessive dietary salt intake increases vascular stiffness in humans, especially
in salt-sensitive populations. While we recently suggested that the endothelial sodium …

Objectives We aimed to use speckle‐tracking echocardiography (STE) to quantify
circumferential aortic strain of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) with different size …

Proteasome inhibitors such as bortezomib and carfilzomib induce apoptosis and are a
cornerstone in the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. However, concerns …

Background and Objective Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) produces significant local and
systemic inflammation with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. IBD Patients …

Vascular diseases like atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are common
pathologies in the western world, promoting various potentially fatal conditions. Here, we …

Methods and Results: Acute and chronic colitis models were induced in male and female
C57BL/6 mice with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) treatment. Aortic wall stiffness, endothelial …
