The reason and functional relevance of why we sleep continues to perplex researchers. One fundamental reason behind why sleep remains a mystery is because it is challenging to study given how easily it is disrupted. Anesthesia has been suggested to be a model for studying sleep given the...

Anesthesia and the Aging Vasculature: Effects of Propofol on Hemodynamics and Vascular Function
DownloadSpring 2014
An increasing life expectancy in Canada has resulted in increasing proportions of elderly patients requiring anesthetic care for surgical procedures. Aging is associated with cardiovascular changes resulting in increased vasoconstriction and hypertension, and medications such as angiotensin...

Sleep is a vital neurobiological process, yet despite its fundamental significance, delineating the endogenous neural pathways involved has been slow to progress due to a lack of diverse sleep models. Anesthesia, which has direct behavioural parallels to natural sleep, and which is often linked...

Background The discovery of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) introduced an alternative protective arm of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), the ACE2/Angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7)/Mas receptor axis, to counterbalance the more renowned pathogenic angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)/Angiotensin...

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. Angiotensin II via the ATR1 can activate monocytes to produce inflammatory factors and increase adhesion. ATR1 expression is partly regulated by alternate splicing of the ATR1 gene. The RAS may...
