Obesity and neuroinflammation: a pathway to cognitive impairment

AA Miller, SJ Spencer - Brain, behavior, and immunity, 2014 - Elsevier
Obesity is a growing problem worldwide and is associated with a range of comorbidities,
including cognitive dysfunction. In this review we will address the evidence that obesity and …

Direct evidence of a role for Nox2 in superoxide production, reduced nitric oxide bioavailability, and early atherosclerotic plaque formation in ApoE−/− mice

…, AE Mast, EU Hooker, AA Miller… - American Journal …, 2010 - journals.physiology.org
The Nox family NADPH oxidases are reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating enzymes
that are strongly implicated in atherogenesis. However, no studies have examined which Nox …

NADPH oxidase activity and function are profoundly greater in cerebral versus systemic arteries

AA Miller, GR Drummond, HHHW Schmidt… - Circulation …, 2005 - Am Heart Assoc
Recent studies suggest that the superoxide generating enzyme NADPH oxidase may play a
functional role in regulating cerebral vascular tone. We tested whether the activity, function, …

COPD and stroke: are systemic inflammation and oxidative stress the missing links?

V Austin, PJ Crack, S Bozinovski, AA Miller… - Clinical …, 2016 - portlandpress.com
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive airflow limitation
and loss of lung function, and is currently the third largest cause of death in the world. It …

Effect of gender on NADPH-oxidase activity, expression, and function in the cerebral circulation: role of estrogen

AA Miller, GR Drummond, AE Mast, HHHW Schmidt… - Stroke, 2007 - Am Heart Assoc
Background and Purpose— This study tested whether NADPH-oxidase activity, expression,
and functional effects on vascular tone are influenced by gender in the rat cerebral …

Effect of gender and sex hormones on vascular oxidative stress

AA Miller, TM De Silva, KA Jackman… - Clinical and …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
It is well documented that the incidence and severity of several vascular diseases, such as
hypertension, atherosclerosis and stroke, are lower in premenopausal women than men of …

Endothelium-dependent relaxation by G protein-coupled receptor 30 agonists in rat carotid arteries

BRS Broughton, AA Miller… - American Journal of …, 2010 - journals.physiology.org
Recent studies have identified that the novel membrane estrogen receptor, G protein-coupled
receptor 30 (GPR30), is present in blood vessels. However, the signaling mechanisms …

Endothelial cell mineralocorticoid receptors regulate deoxycorticosterone/salt-mediated cardiac remodeling and vascular reactivity but not blood pressure

AJ Rickard, J Morgan, S Chrissobolis, AA Miller… - …, 2014 - Am Heart Assoc
Recent studies have identified novel pathological roles for mineralocorticoid receptors (MR)
in specific cell types in cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms by which MR promotes …

Reduction of cerebral infarct volume by apocynin requires pretreatment and is absent in Nox2‐deficient mice

KA Jackman, AA Miller, TM De Silva… - British journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Background and purpose: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from Nox2‐containing
reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity is …
