• Up regulation of cystathione ? lyase and Hydrogen sulphide in the myocardium inhibits the progression of isoproterenol-caffeine induced left ventricular hypertrophy in wistar kyoto rats 

  Ahmad, Ashfaq; Sattar, Munavvar A.; Rathore, Hassaan A.; Abdulla, Mohammed H.; Khan, Safia A.; Azam, Maleeha; Abdullah, Nor A.; Johns, Edward J. (PLoS, 2016-03-10)

  Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is an emerging molecule in many cardiovascular complications but its role in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is unknown. The present study explored the effect of exogenous H2S administration in ...
• Cystathione gamma lyase/hydrogen sulphide pathway up regulation enhances the responsiveness of ?1A and ?1B-adrenoreceptors in the kidney of rats with left ventricular hypertrophy 

  Ahmad, Ashfaq; Sattar, Munavvar A.; Azam, Maleeha; Abdulla, Mohammed H.; Khan, Safia A.; Hashmi, Fayyaz; Abdullah, Nor A.; Johns, Edward J. (PLoS, 2016-05-18)

  The purpose of the present study was to investigate the interaction between H2S and NO (nitric oxide) in the kidney and to evaluate its impact on the functional contribution of ?1A and ?1B-adrenoreceptors subtypes mediating ...
• Sex, stress and sleep apnoea: decreased susceptibility to upper airway muscle dysfunction following intermittent hypoxia in females 

  O'Halloran, Ken D.; Lewis, Philip; McDonald, Fiona (Elsevier, 2016-11-21)

  Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a devastating respiratory control disorder more common in men than women. The reasons for the sex difference in prevalence are multifactorial, but are partly attributable to ...
• The role of angiotensin (1-7) in the regulation of renal function in rat models of hypertension 

  Barry, Elaine Fiana (University College Cork, 2017)

  In the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR), where, endogenous renal angiotensin II levels, angiotensin (1-7) levels, and mas receptor expression were similar to normotensive controls, intrarenal angiotensin (1-7) infusion ...
