Persons with neurologically motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI) have a marked loss of
bone mineral density (BMD) of the long bones of the lower extremities, predisposing them to …

The endothelin-B (ET B ) receptor is a key regulator of vascular endothelial function in women.
We have previously shown that the ET B receptor mediates vasodilation in young women, …

Age-related memory loss shares similar risk factors as cardiometabolic diseases including
elevated serum triglycerides (TGs) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and …

The endothelin system plays an important role in mediating vascular function. The endothelin-B
receptor (ET B R) on endothelial cells mediates vasodilation via nitric oxide production. …

Study design Retrospective cohort. Objective This report identified the serum triglyceride (TG)
concentrations in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and able-bodied (AB) individuals …

Objective: The rate of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) loss at the knee (distal femur (DF)
and proximal tibia ) and hip (femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH)) was determined in …

In addition to lung volume restriction, individuals with chronic tetraplegia exhibit reduced
airway caliber and bronchodilator responsiveness similar to persons with asthma. In asthma, …

Objective: In addition to lung volume restriction, persons with chronic tetraplegia demonstrate
obstructive airway physiology evinced by pharmacologically-induced bronchodilation. We …

Modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors induce the release of proinflammatory cytokines and
reactive oxygen species from circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), …

Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) have increased adiposity that may predispose to
cardiovascular disease compared to those who are able-bodied (AB). The purpose of this study …
