Na + /H + exchanger isoform-1 (NHE1), the ubiquitous form of the Na + /H + exchanger, has
increased activity in hypertensive patients and in animal models of hypertension. …

Vascular 5-Hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT 2A ) receptor signaling and contraction has been
associated with the activation of L-type calcium channels, phospholipase C (PLC) and, as we …

We have tested the hypothesis that growth factor signaling pathways are augmented in
hypertension, a disease associated with vascular smooth muscle cell growth. Thoracic aorta was …

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a potent pressor hormone, a stimulus for vascular smooth muscle
hypertrophy and an activator of multiple tyrosine kinases. The physiological effects of Ang II …

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) causes contraction in arteries from deoxycorticosterone acetate
(DOCA)–salt hypertensive rats but not in normotensive sham rats. We hypothesized that …

The present studies test the hypothesis that contraction to EGF is dependent on mineralocorticoids
and/or an elevation in systolic blood pressure (SBP). Endothelium-denuded thoracic …

This study tests the hypothesis that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)-induced vasodilation
is due to the stimulation of tyrosine phosphatase. Rat aortic segments (endothelium intact) …

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the novel
coronavirus disease a pandemic, bringing drastic changes to people’s lives overnight. Since …
