Words similar to vasodilation
Example sentences for: vasodilation
How can you use “vasodilation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A prolonged half time to recovery has been associated with a decreased nitric oxide and prostanoid production [ 8 ] and a loss of endothelium dependent vasodilation [ 9 ] . Reduced vascular reactivity is associated with many diseases that are associated with aging [ 15 16 17 ] . We did not find activity effects on half time to recovery.
Altered vascular function in older individuals is evidenced as impaired endothelial function [ 8 9 10 ] , an altered ratio of endothelin receptors [ 11 ] , and/or altered reactivity of the smooth muscle to sympathetic activity [ 7 12 ] . Reduced endothelial function is related to impaired formation and decreased activation of nitric oxide [ 13 14 ] and is particularly prominent in older subjects with evidence of cardiovascular disease [ 15 ] , diabetes [ 16 ] , or obesity [ 17 ] . Interestingly, aging does not appear to effect endothelium independent vasodilation [ 10 14 ] .
Biological functions attributed to NO include vasodilation [ 47], inhibition of platelet adhesion and aggregation [ 48], reduction of expression of adhesion molecules and chemokines [ 49, 50, 51, 52], and suppression of cell growth and migration [ 53, 54].
Inactivity has been associated with impaired efficiency of peripheral oxygen extraction [ 32 ] and reduced blood flow after cuff ischemia [ 33 ] . Conversely, exercise training results in greater maximal flow capacity [ 31 34 ] . Regular aerobic exercise also prevents the age-associated loss in endothelium dependent vasodilation maintaining maximal flow capacity [ 9 ] . Our findings support previous research that maximal flow capacity is maintained by aerobic exercise and is independent of age.
Acetazolamide, on the other hand, was hypothesized to identify areas of decreased cerebral perfusion following maximal cerebral vasodilation in Fabry disease compared to controls.
