There is evidence suggesting that adaptive increases in GLUT4 and mitochondria in skeletal
muscle occur in parallel. It has been reported that raising cytosolic Ca 2+ in myocytes …

SMCs identified to date. 10 However, there is a major limitation of the model system of Tang
et al. 7 The model is not conditionally regulated and thus cannot rigorously lineage tag …

Miniature pigs residing in the Ossabaw Island (Ossabaw pigs) exhibit a thrifty genotype, and
when fed a high‐calorie diet they consistently develop metabolic syndrome defined by …

Ossabaw swine have a 'thrifty genotype' (propensity to obesity) that enables them to survive
seasonal food shortages in their native environment. Consumption of excess kcal causes …

Objective— Factors released by perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) disrupt coronary
endothelial function via phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase by protein kinase C (PKC)-β. …

Arterial tissues collected from Ossabaw swine bearing metabolic syndrome-induced
cardiovascular plaques are characterized by multimodal nonlinear optical microscopy that allows …

We report the realization of vibrational photoacoustic (VPA) microscopy using optical excitation
of molecular overtone vibration and acoustic detection of the resultant pressure transients…

The patch clamp technique was used to make whole-cell recordings of calcium channel
currents from single muscle cells freshly isolated from rat mesenteric arteries. The cells were …

Every 34 seconds an American experiences a myocardial infarction or cardiac death.
Approximately 80% of these coronary artery disease (CAD)-related deaths are attributable to …
