Spring 2022
Background: Gut microbiota and diet, specifically fiber rich diets, have been associated with blood pressure regulation and cardiovascular health. Gut microbiota metabolize fiber into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) of which, acetate is the most abundant, followed by propionate and butyrate. It...

Investigation of the functional role of endothelial KCa channels in regulation of resistance artery diameter
DownloadSpring 2018
Background: The vascular endothelium regulates arterial diameter, and thus blood flow and pressure, through release of diffusible factors such as nitric oxide (NO), and spread of electrical charge to smooth muscle cells via myoendothelial gap junctions (MEGJs). Activation of these pathways is...
