1. Effects of disturbed blood flow during exercise on endothelial function: a time course analysis
This study aimed to examine the time course of endothelial function after a single handgrip exercise session combined with blood flow restriction in healthy young men. Nine participants (28±5.8 years) completed a single session of bilateral dynamic handgrip exercise (20 min with 60% of the maximum voluntary contraction). To induce blood flow restriction, a

2. Flow mediated dilation of braquial artery in smokers pregnancy / Dilatação mediada por fluxo da artéria braquial em gestantes tabagistas
There is innumerous health problems associated with smoking habits, among them an increased risk of endothelial dysfunction. Currently, the most used method for noninvasive evaluation of vascular function is flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery determined by ultrasonography. Objectives: To determine at what time the maximum dilatation occurs

3. Analysis of the vasomotor response and metabolic parameters in healthy elders to the use of statin / Análise da resposta vasomotora e parâmetros metabólicos em idosos "saudáveis"ao uso de estatina
The Brazil, where old people make up 7% of the population, will have the sixth greatest population of elderly people in the world. Cardiovascular disease increases significantly as a person grows older and evidences show the importance of the endothelium and hypercholesterolemia in arteriosclerosis. However, it has not been established yet if treating dyslip

4. Ação do vinho tinto sobre o sistema nervoso simpático e função endotelial em pacientes hipertensos e hipercolesterolêmicos / Red wine ingestion action upon sympathetic nervous system and endothelial function in hypertensive and hypercholesterolemic subjects
Introduction: Moderate red wine intake is inversely associated with development of cardiovascular disease. Red wine effects in sympathetic activity and vascular reactivity are not fully understood. Methods: Muscle sympathetic nerve activity and flow mediated dilatation of brachial artery by ultrasound were evaluated in 10 hypercholesterolemic, 9 hypertensive

5. The action of red wine and purple grape juice on vascular reactivity is independent of plasma lipids in hypercholesterolemic patients
Although red wine (RW) reduces cardiovascular risk, the mechanisms underlying the effect have not been identified. Correction of endothelial dysfunction by RW flavonoids could be one mechanism. We measured brachial artery reactivity by high-resolution ultrasonography, plasma lipids, glucose, adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM), and platelet function in 16 h

6. "Função endotelial em adultos jovens com infarto do miocárdio. Influências ambientais e genéticas" / Endothelium function in young adults with myocardial infarction
A disfunção endotelial atua tanto na aterogênese como na precipitação das síndromes coronárias agudas. A redução da biodisponibilidadedo óxido nítrico é expressão de endotélio disfuncional. O mecanismo desta redução não está elucidado. A presença de disfunção endotelialfoi correlacionada com fatores de risco (FR), nitrato sanguíneo e fa

7. Role of the vascular laboratory in the diagnosis of aortic arch occlusive disease: Screening of 2000 patients
A significant difference in bilateral systolic brachial artery pressures and the presence of systolic bruit over a subclavian artery suggests occlusive disease in the innominate or subclavian arteries. Two thousand patients with these signs underwent ultrasonography of the carotid, subclavian, and brachial arteries in our laboratory. Doppler recordings of a

8. Predictors of primary patency failure in Wallstent self-expanding endovascular prostheses for iliofemoral occlusive disease.
We studied the factors that affected the primary patency and the clinical and procedural success of WALLSTENTS (stents) that were used at our institution from 1 March 1994 to 30 October 1995 for the treatment of iliac and femoral artery occlusive disease. This prospective study comprised 63 patients with 82 lesions. Follow-up was performed for a mean duratio

9. Vascular endothelial dysfunction resulting from l-arginine deficiency in a patient with lysinuric protein intolerance
Although L-arginine is the only substrate for nitric oxide (NO) production, no studies have yet been reported on the effect of an L-arginine deficiency on vascular function in humans. Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is a rare autosomal recessive defect of dibasic amino acid transport caused by mutations in the SLC7A7 gene, resulting in an L-arginine defi
