Coronary artery hypoxic vasorelaxation is augmented by perivascular adipose tissue through a mechanism involving hydrogen sulfide and cystathionine-β-synthase (2018)
Journal Article
Donovan, J., Wong, P., Garle, M., Alexander, S. P., Dunn, W. R., & Ralevic, V. (in press). Coronary artery hypoxic vasorelaxation is augmented by perivascular adipose tissue through a mechanism involving hydrogen sulfide and cystathionine-β-synthase. Acta Physiologica, Article e13126. https://doi.org/10.1111/apha.13126

Aim: Hypoxia causes vasodilatation of coronary arteries which protects the heart from ischaemic damage through mechanisms including the generation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), but the influence of the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) and myocardium i...

A role for the sodium pump in H2O2-induced vasorelaxation in porcine isolated coronary arteries (2014)
Journal Article
Wong, P., Garle, M., Alexander, S., Randall, M., & Roberts, R. (2014). A role for the sodium pump in H2O2-induced vasorelaxation in porcine isolated coronary arteries. Pharmacological Research, 90, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phrs.2014.09.004

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been proposed to act as a factor for endothelium-derived hyperpolar-ization (EDH) and EDH may act as a ‘back up’ system to compensate the loss of the NO pathway. Here,the mechanism of action of H2O2in porcine isolated cor... Read More about A role for the sodium pump in H2O2-induced vasorelaxation in porcine isolated coronary arteries.

Tonic modulation of spinal hyperexcitability by the endocannabinoid receptor system in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain (2010)
Journal Article
Sagar, D. R., Staniaszek, L. E., Okine, B. N., Woodhams, S., Norris, L. M., Pearson, R. G., …Chapman, V. (2010). Tonic modulation of spinal hyperexcitability by the endocannabinoid receptor system in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain. Arthritis and Rheumatism, 62(12), https://doi.org/10.1002/art.27698

Objective. To investigate the impact of an experimental model of osteoarthritis (OA) on spinal nociceptive processing and the role of the inhibitory endocannabinoid system in regulating sensory processing at the spinal level. Methods. Experiment... Read More about Tonic modulation of spinal hyperexcitability by the endocannabinoid receptor system in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain.
