Is pulmonary blood pressure , not flow , associated with net endothelin-1 production in the lungs of patients with congenital heart disease and normal pulmonary vascular resistance?
This study shows that pulmonary blood pressure and not flow is associated with net endothelin-1 production in patients with congenital heart disease and normal pulmonary vascular resistance.
In diabetes BM thickening develops in retinal and glomerular capillaries in a correlated manner. Tight glycemic control may be beneficial in preventing the pathologic development of capillary BM thickening and FN overexpression in retinal and renal tissues, two target tissues of diabetic microangiopathy.
