Fall 2019
Persistent hyperexcitability in the primary sensory afferents contributes substantially to the onset and the maintenance of neuropathic pain. Inteleukin-1β (IL-1β) has been implicated to directly interact with interleukin 1 receptor type I (IL-1RI) expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons...

12,13-dihydroxy-9z-octadecenoic acid (12,13-DiHOME) is a linoleic acid-derived cardiac metabolite produced in endotoxin-induced cardiomyopathy, correlating with myocardial dysfunction, inflammation, and mitochondrial damage. The contribution of 12,13-DiHOME to inflammation in the heart is...

Role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in sarcoplasmic reticulum dysfunction during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury
DownloadSpring 2019
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is an intra- and extra-cellular protease which is activated during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, namely peroxynitrite. Upon its activation, MMP-2 impairs cardiac contractility by cleaving sarcomeric and...

Pancreatic β-cells are paramount for optimizing insulin secretion to metabolic need. The progression from non-diabetes to type 2 diabetes (T2D) is accompanied by β-cell compensation and decompensation. While β-cell decompensation is a hallmark of overt diabetes, β-cell compensation promotes...

Sex Differences in Central Nervous System Plasticity and Pain in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
DownloadSpring 2019
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative autoimmune disease with many known structural and functional changes in the central nervous system (CNS). A well-recognized, but poorly understood, complication of MS is chronic pain. Little is known regarding the influence of sex on the development...

Short-term Calorie Restriction Improves Post-ischemic Recovery in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat
DownloadFall 2012
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in Western countries. We demonstrated how alterations in energy metabolism and the activation of Reperfusion Injury Salvage Kinase (RISK) pathway induced by short-term calorie restriction (CR) contribute to protecting the diseased heart from...
