Sexual Dimorphism In Rat Vascular Function Of Type I And Type Ii Diabetes: Role Of Edrfs, Roshanak Rahimian
Sexual Dimorphism In Rat Vascular Function Of Type I And Type Ii Diabetes: Role Of Edrfs, Roshanak Rahimian
Science Seminar Series
Dr. Roshanak Rahimian, professor of physiology and pharmacology in the Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences will tell us about her work on understanding the mechanisms underlying the interaction of sex and diabetes in vasculature.
Over the past decade, diabetes and obesity have reached epidemic levels in developed countries, and has become one of the most serious and challenging health problems in the 21st century. Several studies suggest that diabetes affects male and female vascular beds differently. However, the mechanisms underlying the interaction of sex and diabetes in vasculature remain to be investigated. We have shown that …

Design Of Novel Ion Channel Modulators, Vladimir Yarov-Yarovoy
Science Seminar Series
Function and modulation of neuronal sodium channels are critical for the neuromodulation of electrical excitability and synaptic transmission in neurons - the basis for many aspects of signal transduction, learning, memory and physiological regulation. Mutations in neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel genes are responsible for various human neurological disorders. Furthermore, human neuronal voltage-gated sodium channels are primary targets of therapeutic drugs used as local anesthetics and for treatment of neurological and cardiac disorders. Yarov-Yarovoy's lab is working on rational design of novel therapeutically useful blockers of voltage-gated sodium channels for treatment of pain and epilepsy. Serious, chronic pain affects at least …
