This apparent improvement for shiftworkers was counteracted by a concomitant irregularity produced by greater organizational requirements for flexibility. The balance of this interaction was found to have a critical impact on employees.
These results suggest that pharmacological inhibition of PARP prevents the development of endothelial dysfunction in rats with hyperhomocysteinemia which may represent a novel approach to improve vascular dysfunction associated with hyperhomocysteinemia.
