Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a morbid condition whereby ischemic peripheral muscle causes pain and tissue breakdown. Interestingly, PAD risk factors, e.g. diabetes mellitus, cause endothelial dysfunction secondary to decreased nitric oxide (NO) levels, which...

Passive heat therapy (repeated hot tub or sauna use) reduces cardiovascular risk, but its effects on the mechanisms underlying improvements in microvascular function have yet to be studied. We investigated the effects of heat therapy on microvascular function and...

Supine hypertension affects a majority of patients with autonomic failure; it is associated with end-organdamage and can worsen daytime orthostatic hypotension by inducing pressure diuresis and volume loss during the night. Because sympathetic activation prevents...

Increasing evidence regarding positive effects of exposure to sunlight has led to suggestions that current advice may be overly weighted in favor of avoidance. UV-A has been reported to lower blood pressure, possibly through nitric oxide (NO) production in skin. Here,...

Aims: Previous studies have shown that ultraviolet light can lead to the release of nitric oxide from the skin and decrease blood pressure. In contrast to visible light the local application of ultraviolet light bears a cancer ogenic risk. Here, we investigated...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a physiological signaling molecule, whose biological production is precisely regulated atthe subcellular level. Here, we describe the design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel mitochondria-targeted NO releasers, Rol-DNB-mor and Rol-DNB-pyr, that...
