Abstract: BACKGROUND Endoscopic vein harvest for lower extremity arterial bypass grafting has been questioned due to concern for endothelial damage during procurement. We sought to compare nitric oxide (NO)-mediated endothelial-dependent relaxation (EDR) in vein segments harvested using… read more here.

Abstract: The kynurenine pathway (KP) is the canonical route by which tryptophan is metabolised, almost all of which occurs in the liver, with significant expression of its enzymes also known in the kidney. We generated two… read more here.
