Impaired vasocontractile responses to adenosine in chorionic vessels of human term placenta from pregnant women with pre-existing and gestational diabetes (2018)
Journal Article
Razak, A. A., Leach, L., & Ralevic, V. (2018). Impaired vasocontractile responses to adenosine in chorionic vessels of human term placenta from pregnant women with pre-existing and gestational diabetes. Diabetes and Vascular Disease Research, 15(6), 528-540. https://doi.org/10.1177/1479164118790904

Background: There is clinical and experimental evidence for altered adenosine signalling in the fetoplacental circulation in pregnancies complicated by diabetes, leading to adenosine accumulation in the placenta. However, the consequence for fetoplac...

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...
