β-Arrestin 2 mediates arginine vasopressin-induced IL-6 induction via the ERK1/2-NF-κB signal pathway in murine hearts
Evidence to date suggests that β-arrestins act beyond their role as adapter proteins. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) may be a factor in inflammation and fibrosis in the pathogenesis of heart failure. In the presen...

VEGFA SNPs and transcriptional factor binding sites associated with high altitude sickness in Han and Tibetan Chinese at the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Mountain sickness (MS) occurs among humans visiting or inhabiting high altitude environments. We conducted genetic analyses of seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of VEGFA gene ...

Proteomic analysis of mitochondrial proteins in cardiomyocytes from rats subjected to intermittent hypoxia
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) markedly enhances cardiac tolerance against ischemia/reperfusion injury, but its mechanism and molecular basis remain unclear. For exploring the expression of mitochondrial proteins i...

Inducible nitric oxide synthase contributes to intermittent hypoxia against ischemia/reperfusion injury
To investigate the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-derived nitric oxide (NO) in the cardioprotection of intermittent hypoxia (IH) against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.

Postnatal development in intermittent hypoxia enhances resistance to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in male rats
To assess the tolerance of rats that developed from birth in intermittent hypoxia (IH) to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion, we set up a reproducible model in our laboratory. IH rats were raised 60 days from...
