Glutathione S-transferase 8-8 is localized in smooth muscle cells of rat aorta and is induced in an experimental model of atherosclerosis
Praphul Misra,Satish K. Srivastava,Sharad S. Singhal,Sanjay Awasthi,Yogesh C. Awasthi,Paul J. Boor +5 more
TL;DR: The presence of GST8-8 in the vasculature, which is constantly exposed to products of lipid peroxidation, and its induction by AA, suggest that GST9-8 plays a key role in protecting blood vessels against oxidative stress and hence, may be involved in the atherogenic process.

Slow Intramural Heating With Diffused Laser Light: A Unique Method for Deep Myocardial Coagulation
TL;DR: It is proposed that volumetric heating restricted to intramural sites may improve the outcome and safety of postinfarction ventricular tachycardia ablation, especially if delivered at rates that enhance heat conduction and forestall adverse tissue changes.

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase and extracellular matrix deposition by smooth-muscle cells.
TL;DR: In vitro SSAO inhibition produced aberrations in collagen and elastin deposition by heart SMC, suggesting this enzyme may play a protective or modulating role by regulating ECM production during pathologic insult.

Contribution of Serum and Cellular Semicarbazide-Sensitive Amine Oxidase to Amine Metabolism and Cardiovascular Toxicity
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SSAO in FCS contributes to amine metabolism and cytotoxicity to rat cardiovascular cells in vitro and how critical it is to evaluate serum for its role in mechanisms of amine toxicity in vitro & in vivo is demonstrated.

TL;DR: It is found that mice infected with WNV strain H8912 was highly attenuated for neuroinvasiveness and neurovirulence in mice, and induces a low and delayed anti-viral response in mice and preferentially persists in the kidneys.
