Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common complex clinical syndrome
for which there are currently few evidence-based therapies. As patients with HFpEF very …

Aims Chemerin has been recently identified as a vasoactive adipokine implicated in blood
pressure regulation. In this context, we evaluated whether chemerin could influence …

Decreased leptin-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation has been reported in
spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Here, we report leptin-induced vasoconstriction in …

Background While chemerin has been shown to increase proliferation and migration of
systemic vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contributing therefore to the development of …

Background: The adipokine chemerin has been recently reported to increase aortic contractile
response to endothelin-1, which is a potent pulmonary vasoconstrictor. In the present …

Background: Proliferation, resistance to apoptosis and migration of pulmonary artery
smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) are characteristic pathogeneses of vascular remodeling in …

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common and complex syndrome
with high mortality and morbidity rates for which there are currently no evidence-based …

Introduction Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a clinical condition associated with
sustained elevations in pulmonary arterial pressure, leading to right ventricular failure. The …
