Molecular and Peritoneal Microvascular Changes Cause Peritoneal Membrane Dysfunction by Uremia-Related Mechanisms by Zakaria, El-Rasheid

“…In addition, Enos was found to be upregulated in the experimental groups, as compared with the naïve controls. Conclusions Four major conclusions were drawn from this study. 1) Aging is an independent risk factor for peritoneal microvascular endothelial cell dysfunction; 2) indwelling peritoneal catheter placement compounds a pre-existing age-related endothelial cell dysfunction; 3) Uremia unlike reduction in renal mass and injury causes marked peritoneal microvascular endothelial cell dysfunction as proven by the measurement of proteins involved in the vasodilation and angiogenesis pathways; 4) Uremia unlike aging or indwelling peritoneal catheter enhances the basic permeably of the peritoneal membrane for small solute transport.…”

Omega-3 fatty acid-rich fish oil supplementation prevents rosiglitazone-induced osteopenia in aging mice by Cugno, Chiara

“…Rosiglitazone is an effective insulin-sensitizer, however, associated with bone loss mainly due to increased bone resorption, and bone marrow adiposity, and decreased bone formation. We investigated the effect of the co-administration of fish oil (FO) rich in omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) on rosiglitazone (RSG)-induced bone loss in aging C57BL/6 mice and the mechanisms underlying potential preventive effect. …”
