Summary: Insufficient sleep is associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased cardiovascular risk, while regular aerobic exercise can improve endothelial function and reduce cardiovascular risk. In this study, aerobic exercise training was found to enhance endothelium-dependent vasodilation and reduce ET-1-mediated vasoconstriction in adults with habitual insufficient nightly sleep, regardless of changes in sleep duration. Regular aerobic exercise can potentially mitigate the cardiovascular risk associated with insufficient sleep-related endothelial dysfunction.

Summary: Pulegone and menthol are the most abundant monoterpenes found in Calamintha nepeta (49.41%) and Mentha piperita (42.85%) extracts, respectively. In vitro, both pulegone and menthol act as strong anti-inflammatory molecules and exert cytotoxicity. In vivo, both pulegone and menthol exert a transient anti-hyperalgesic effect on mechanical and thermal stimuli.

Summary: Research found that using over-the-counter topical analgesic cream during skin cooling can attenuate cold-induced vasoconstriction and enhance heat loss. It was also revealed that applying the analgesic cream can accelerate core body heat loss in exercise-induced hyperthermia. Therefore, topical cutaneous analgesics containing vasodilatory agents could be an effective tool for enhancing the cooling effects of skin cooling for hyperthermia.

Summary: PFI-3 exerts a relaxation effect on rat mesenteric arteries independent of endothelium. This vasodilatory effect is attributed to its inhibition of VDCCs and ROCCs on vascular smooth muscle cells.

Summary: Pulmonary hypertension is a serious disease characterized by vasoconstriction and remodeling of the pulmonary arterioles, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular hypertrophy. Current pharmacological therapies focus on pulmonary vasodilation but are not universally successful. Therefore, researchers are exploring novel approaches to reverse pulmonary vascular pathology and structural remodeling.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of exercise-induced muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) on passive leg movement (PLM)-induced vasodilation, predominantly mediated by nitric oxide (NO). The results showed that exercise-induced sympathetic excitation significantly attenuated PLM-induced vasodilation, highlighting the dominant role of sympathetic nerve activity in regulating skeletal muscle vascular conductance.

Summary: In this study, the effects of using an over-the-counter analgesic cream containing 20% methyl salicylate and 6% L-menthol during exercise-induced hyperthermia were examined. The results showed that the cutaneous application of the cream enhanced body heat loss and reduced mean arterial pressure during temperate-water immersion.

Summary: Xylazine is an emerging adulterant in opioid-positive overdose deaths in the United States. It depresses vital functions and causes hypotension, bradycardia, hypothermia, and respiratory depression. This study found that xylazine exacerbates the life-threatening effects of opioids by worsening brain hypoxia.

Summary: The dual-wavelength optoacoustic imaging system allows 3D visualizations of arteriovenous anastomoses in rabbit ears with high resolution, providing structural and spectral information to distinguish between veins and arteries. Monitoring of a rabbit ear under temperature-induced shunting demonstrated the potential of this technique for functional arteriovenous anastomosis monitoring.

Summary: The study found that whole-body heat acclimation can increase finger vasodilatory response during cold-water immersion and enhance rewarming rate of the hand, potentially improving local cold tolerance. However, daily hand immersion in warm water did not contribute to any changes in the CIVD response.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the suppressive effects of magnolin, an ERK inhibitor substance derived from Magnolia denudata seeds, on the symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). The results showed that magnolin administration exerted an analgesic effect on CIPN-induced cold allodynia and inhibited ERK phosphorylation in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). These results suggest that magnolin could be developed as an alternative treatment to suppress paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain symptoms.
