Obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide and is higher in women than men. High body mass index is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and an impaired perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) anticontractile function associated with PVAT inflammation have been demonstrated in obesity. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is expressed in immune and endothelial cells (EC) and its activat…
Increase in sympathetic nervous system is associated with beta-adrenoceptor (beta-AR) hyperactivation. This hyperactivation can be performed using chronic treatment with a non-selective beta-AR agonist, isoproterenol (ISO). We have previously demonstrated that ISO-treated rats show enhanced vasoconstrictor response induced by phenylephrine, impairment of nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability,…
The decline of anurans populations worlwide indicates that their environment has been impacted by pollutants as xenoestrogens. This pollutant reaches water bodies mainly by domestic effluent and runoff of the syntetic estrogen, the 17-alpha-ethynilestradiol (EE2). EE2 is widely employed as a hormone therapy after menopause and to prevent pregnancy. The syntetic strogen is more persistent …
