Filter by:The study aimed to check the 2000m ergometer test on markers of gut permeability in the competitive phase of rowers. 18 members of the Polish rowing team took part in the study.
Bacoxy_I study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a standardized Bacopa monnieri extract, Bacopa-400®, on vascular oxidative stress.
This research is being done to determine whether acute exercise causes differences in numbers of novel blood factors associated with vascular health in college-aged adults across different physical activity habits. As only ~50% of cardiovascular (CV) events can be explained by traditional CV risk factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, it is anticipated that this research will provide a more comprehensive look into novel risk factors that may better explain CV risk and that may be modifiable through regular physical activity.
The glycocalyx serves as the interface between flowing blood and endothelial cells, the single cell layer that lines blood vessels, and is crucial for normal blood vessel function. Specifically, the glycocalyx protects endothelial cells from oxidative stress and inflammation and enables blood vessel dilation, which is largely dependent on the bioavailability of the vasodilatory molecule nitric oxide. Importantly, glycocalyx thickness decreases with age and is predictive of major adverse cardiovascular events in older adults free of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, interventions aimed at restoring glycocalyx thickness in older adults are desperately needed. Endocalyx Pro is a commercially available glycocalyx precursor supplement, manufactured by Microvascular Health Solutions, designed to 1) repair a damaged glycocalyx, 2) protect against damage to the glycocalyx, and 3) synthesize new glycocalyx components, and has been used to increase glycocalyx thickness in humans. However, no study has tested if glycocalyx thickness restores glycocalyx thickness in older adults and improves blood vessel function. Thus, the purpose of this investigation is to determine if 12-weeks of Endocalyx Pro supplementation alters glycocalyx thickness and blood vessel function in older adults. The investigators will use a camera placed under the tongue to determine glycocalyx thickness. The investigators will measure blood vessel function by measuring brachial artery dilation with ultrasound and arterial stiffness using pressure probes placed on the carotid and femoral artery.
A cross-sectional study will be conducted, which will include 80 young patients with psoriasis, aged 30-45 years, treated with five different types of antipsoriatic treatment, and 20 healthy patients. All 100 subjects will be subjected to anthropometric measurements, blood will be collected for laboratory tests, and an imaging test will be performed to determine the function of the endothelium and arterial stiffness. The results will then be statistically analyzed.
The primary goal of this intervention is to determine the efficacy of acute mitochondrial-specific antioxidants to improve vascular endothelial function in middle-aged and older (≥45 y) adults who do no perform regular aerobic exercise. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover design participants with receive both MitoQ and placebo arm of the study. Primary endpoints will include vascular endothelial function assessed by brachial artery flow-mediated dilation and cardiac function assessed via pulse wave analysis. Secondary endpoints will include measures of aortic stiffness assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and carotid artery stiffness (e.g. β-stiffness) and elasticity (carotid compliance, distensibility, and Youngs elastic modulus) from ultrasonography.
The aim of study is impact of additional treatment with new antidiabetic drugs (semaglutide or empagliflozine) compared to control group in T1DM patients - impact on endothelial function measured by FMD and FPF, arterial stiffness - measured by PWV, inflammatory biomarkers, markers of oxidative stress and endothelial progenitor cells (CD 34+/VDRL2, CD 133+/VDRL2) and correlation with glucovariability or time in range, measured with CGM system.
This trial is a single-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-way cross-over phase 1b trial evaluating the pharmacodynamic effect of C21 on endothelial dysfunction and safety in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The aim of this study was to measure whether the flow rate through the brachial artery and inflammatory markers were associated with the development of tissue edema in the surgical intensive care unit patients.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of blood flow restriction applied during nordic hamstring exercise on neuromuscular activation and endothelial function.
