Abstract:
:Recently, down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the heart was suggested as a potential molecular explanation for the increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Increased endothelin-1 production is reported in diabetes. Here, we report that down-regulated VEGF expression in the diabetic rat heart is normalized by an endothelin ETA receptor antagonist, suggesting that endothelin antagonism may be a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic heart.

杂志文章abstract::Guinea pig neurotensin differs from other mammalian neurotensin by the substitution of proline by serine at position 7. [Ser7]neurotensin produced a concentration-dependent contraction of the guinea pig oesophagus and rat fundus, a biphasic effect (initial relaxation followed by more sustained contraction) on the guin...
