Conclusion: It is feasible to perform diabetes screening using OGTT in outpatients with SHF.
2
The outer medial cells of the ascending aorta form a sleeve populated by SHF-derived SMCs.
3
The spatial regularity of a-actinin in DHF cells was reduced when compared with SHF cells.
4
Interestingly, outer medial cells throughout anterior and posterior ascending aortas were derived from the SHF.
5
These findings support the clinical separation of heart failure patients into SHF and DHF phenotypes.
6
Differences in the occurrence of depositions between the SHF, CRT and DHF models versus control were significant.
7
Activation of MMP-9 was enhanced in the DHF model rats, but the activity was more enhanced in the SHF rats.
8
Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the distribution of SMCs of SHF and CNC origins in the proximal thoracic aorta.
9
This homeodomain transcription factor is a central regulator of cardiac development and is expressed in both the first and second heart fields (FHF and SHF).
