... transcriptional effects on several physiological systems (e.g. endothelial permeability, angiogenesis and immune regulation) which involved contributions by both CRF receptor subtypes. Overall, our results indicate that the gill CRF system is more active in hypoosmotic environments and directly contributes...

... ( P crit ), higher regulation index (RI)] after only 1 day of air exposure, and these changes were strongly associated with the change in hematocrit and dorsal cutaneous angiogenesis. Additionally, we found that 1 h of air exposure induced the expression of four angiogenesis-associated genes – vegfa...

... mortality at early stages mainly results from defects in cardiovascular development, we focused on heart formation and angiogenesis. We found that high-salt exposure enhanced the risk of abnormal heart tube looping and blood congestion in the heart chamber. In the presence of high salt, both ventricular...

... secretion), water movement into and out of the brain, cell migration(angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, wound healing) and neural function (sensory signaling, seizures). A subset of aquaporins that transport both water and glycerol, the `aquaglyceroporins', regulate glycerol content in epidermal, fat and other...

... begins after about 1 week of hypoxic exposure and is completed by 3 weeks. Hypoxic angiogenesis is controlled by activation of downstream genes by Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 and Angiopoietin-2. The processes that increase capillary density are reversible upon restoration of the ambient oxygen...

However, adjustments in Type II fibre size paralleled the muscle hypertrophy in rat and atrophy in hamster. Cold-induced angiogenesis was present...
