Does endothelin receptor A blockade ameliorate hypothermic ischemia-reperfusion-related microhemodynamic disturbances during liver transplantation in the rat?
Our results indicate that the ET(A) antagonism ameliorates hypothermic I/R-related microhemodynamic disturbances during OLT in the rat, suggesting that application of an ET(A) antagonist to liver grafts may have therapeutic potential in human liver transplantation.
Low levels of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D are independently predictive for fatal strokes, suggesting that vitamin D supplementation is a promising approach in the prevention of strokes.
