Does antigen challenge induce a supraglottic but not a subglottic edema in the rat larynx?
Allergen challenge induces a marked edema in the epiglottis but not in the subglottic area.
In this study we have identified novel mechanisms that regulate myogenic tone in resistance arteries, which involves microRNA-dependent control of PI3-kinase/Akt signalling and L-type calcium influx. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that transient stimulation by Ang II can have long-lasting effects by potentiating myogenic tone.
