Does implantation of mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing endothelial nitric oxide synthase improve right ventricular impairments caused by pulmonary hypertension?
Intravenous implantation of MSCs/eNOS may offer ameliorating effects on PH-related RV impairment and survival time.
Postprandial hyperglycemia is associated with enhanced lipid peroxidation and platelet activation in early type 2 diabetes. A moderate decrease in PPG achieved with acarbose causes time-dependent downregulation of these phenomena, suggesting a causal link between early metabolic abnormalities and platelet activation in this setting.
