ANGIOTENSIN II-INDUCED ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION IS TEMPORALLY LINKED WITH INCREASES IN INTEREUKIN-6 AND VASCULAR MACROPHAGE ACCUMULATION

Angiotensin II-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction is Temporally Linked with Increases in Intereukin-6 and Vascular Macrophage Accumulation

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is associated with vascular hypertrophy, endothelial dysfunction and activation of a number of inflammatory molecules, however the linear events involved in the development of hypertension and endothelial dysfunction produced in response to Ang II are not well defined.The goal of this study was to examine the dose- and tempo

Towards a revision of the genus Periclimenes: resurrection of Ancylocaris Schenkel, 1902, and designation of three new genera (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae)

Based on recently published molecular phylogenies of Indo-West Pacific palaemonid shrimps and further Hand Pulse Grip morphological evidence, the systematic position of several species of the polyphyletic genus Periclimenes is revised.The generic name Ancylocaris Schenkel, 1902 is re-established for the anemone-associated P.brevicarpalis.Actinimene
