Neonatal encephalopathy is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although
therapeutic hypothermia (HT) is now standard practice in most neonatal intensive care units …

Although acute activation of the novel endocannabinoid receptor GPR18 causes
hypotension, there are no reports on GPR18 expression in the heart or its chronic …

Weaning preeclamptic (PE) rats exhibit exaggerated endotoxic signs of hypotension and
cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Considering the role of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in …

Ethanol intake is associated with increase in blood pressure, through unknown
mechanisms. We hypothesized that acute ethanol intake enhances vascular oxidative stress …

In the present study, we investigated the role of angiotensin type I (AT 1) receptor in reactive
oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) activation …

Background: The mechanism by which ethanol reduces cardiac output (CO) and blood
pressure (BP) in female rats remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that enhancement of …

In addition to insulin sensitization, the thiazolidenedione drug pioglitazone exhibits
favorable circulatory effects. Here, we hypothesized that pioglitazone protects against the …

Aims Considering the role of cyclooxygenases (COX) in placental programming induced by
preeclampsia (PE), we investigated whether gestational exposure to nonsteroidal …

Background and Purpose Cyclosporine (CSA) and non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) are co‐prescribed for some arthritic conditions. We tested the hypothesis that this …
