Abstract
The lack of pre-clinical large animal models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains a growing, yet unmet obstacle to improving understanding of this complex condition. We examined whether chronic cardiometabolic stress in Ossabaw swine, which possess a genetic propensity for obesity and cardiovascular complications, produces an HFpEF-like phenotype. Swine were fed standard chow (lean; n = 13) or an excess calorie, high-fat, high-fructose diet (obese; n = 16) for ~ 18 weeks with lean (n = 5) and obese (n = 8) swine subjected to right ventricular pacing (180 beats/min for ~ 4 weeks) to induce heart failure (HF). Baseline blood pressure, heart rate, LV end-diastolic volume, and ejection fraction were similar between groups. High-rate pacing increased LV end-diastolic pressure from ~ 11 ± 1 mmHg in lean and obese swine to ~ 26 ± 2 mmHg in lean HF and obese HF swine. Regression analyses revealed an upward shift in LV diastolic pressure vs. diastolic volume in paced swine that was associated with an ~ twofold increase in myocardial fibrosis and an ~ 50% reduction in myocardial capillary density. Hemodynamic responses to graded hemorrhage revealed an ~ 40% decrease in the chronotropic response to reductions in blood pressure in lean HF and obese HF swine without appreciable changes in myocardial oxygen delivery or transmural perfusion. These findings support that high-rate ventricular pacing of lean and obese Ossabaw swine initiates underlying cardiac remodeling accompanied by elevated LV filling pressures with normal ejection fraction. This distinct pre-clinical tool provides a unique platform for further mechanistic and therapeutic studies of this highly complex syndrome.

Abstract
The study of peripheral vasculopathy with chronic metabolic disease is challenged by divergent contributions from spatial (the level of resolution or specific tissue being studied) and temporal origins (evolution of the developing impairments in time). Over many years of studying the development of skeletal muscle vasculopathy and its functional implications, we may be at the point of presenting an integrated conceptual model that addresses these challenges within the obese Zucker rat (OZR) model. At the early stages of metabolic disease, where systemic markers of elevated cardiovascular disease risk are present, the only evidence of vascular dysfunction is at postcapillary and collecting venules, where leukocyte adhesion/rolling is elevated with impaired venular endothelial function. As metabolic disease severity and duration increases, reduced microvessel density becomes evident as well as increased variability in microvascular hematocrit. Subsequently, hemodynamic impairments to distal arteriolar networks emerge, manifesting as increasing perfusion heterogeneity and impaired arteriolar reactivity. This retrograde "wave of dysfunction" continues, creating a condition wherein deficiencies to the distal arteriolar, capillary, and venular microcirculation stabilize and impairments to proximal arteriolar reactivity, wall mechanics, and perfusion distribution evolve. This proximal arteriolar dysfunction parallels increasing failure in fatigue resistance, hyperemic responses, and O2 uptake within self-perfused skeletal muscle. Taken together, these results present a conceptual model for the retrograde development of peripheral vasculopathy with chronic metabolic disease and provide insight into the timing and targeting of interventional strategies to improve health outcomes.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Working from an established database spanning multiple scales and times, we studied progression of peripheral microvascular dysfunction in chronic metabolic disease. The data implicate the postcapillary venular endothelium as the initiating site for vasculopathy. Indicators of dysfunction, spanning network structures, hemodynamics, vascular reactivity, and perfusion progress in an insidious retrograde manner to present as functional impairments to muscle blood flow and performance much later. The silent vasculopathy progression may provide insight into clinical treatment challenges.

Abstract
AIMS Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) demonstrate cardioprotective benefits independent of a glucose lowering effect including preservation of cardiac function during a myocardial ischemia. Sodium‑hydrogen exchanger-1 (NHE-1), has been hypothesized to contribute to the cardiac effects of SGLT2i. We characterized the beneficial effects of acute pre-ischemia exposure to SGLT2i and explored the possibility that these effects are explained by NHE-1 inhibition. METHODS AND RESULTS Swine were anesthetized and instrumented for invasive hemodynamic measurements After baseline data collection, swine received a 15-30 min intravenous infusion of vehicle (DMSO), the SGLT2i canagliflozin (~1 mg/kg), or the NHE-1 inhibitor cariporide (~0.03 mg/kg) ending immediately prior to occlusion of the left circumflex artery. Measurements were obtained at baseline, during a 60-min complete occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery, and during a 2-h reperfusion period. Blood pressure, heart rate, left anterior descending artery flow, and associated myocardial oxygen consumption were unaffected by acute pre-treatment with canagliflozin or cariporide during ischemia and reperfusion. Acute pre-ischemic treatment with canagliflozin significantly increased diastolic filling and stroke work, producing a rightward shift in the Frank-Starling relationship, and also improved cardiac work efficiency relative to untreated control hearts during ischemia. Effects of NHE-1 inhibition with cariporide were modest and dissimilar. Examination of AP-1 cells transfected with wild-type NHE-1 and iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes confirmed dose-dependent-inhibition of NHE-1 activity by cariporide, while canagliflozin had no significant effect on NHE-1 activity. CONCLUSION Acute pre-treatment with SGLT2i produces cardioprotective effects during ischemia, including improved work efficiency. These effects are not explained by NHE-1 inhibition. TRANSLATIONAL PERSPECTIVE SGLT2 inhibitors have been shown to improve cardiac outcomes in patient including reducing myocardial infarction incidence and mortality. The mechanism(s) explaining this effect are not clear. This manuscript demonstrates a protective effect from acute SGLT2i exposure, as short as 15 min, prior to experimental infarction in swine. These effects were independent of NHE1 inhibition. These observations suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors can confer cardioprotective effects on a very short time scale. It is possible that such effects provide an ongoing contribution to ischemic protection even in the setting of chronic treatment.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that (pyr)apelin-13 dose-dependently augments myocardial contractility and coronary blood flow, irrespective of changes in systemic hemodynamics. Acute effects of intravenous (pyr)apelin-13 administration (10 to 1,000 nM) on blood pressure, heart rate, left ventricular pressure and volume, and coronary parameters were measured in dogs and pigs. Administration of (pyr)apelin-13 did not influence blood pressure (P = 0.59), dP/dtmax (P = 0.26), or dP/dtmin (P = 0.85) in dogs. However, heart rate dose-dependently increased > 70% (P < 0.01), which was accompanied by a significant increase in coronary blood flow (P < 0.05) and reductions in left ventricular end-diastolic volume and stroke volume (P < 0.001). In contrast, (pyr)apelin-13 did not significantly affect hemodynamics, coronary blood flow, or indexes of contractile function in pigs. Furthermore, swine studies found no effect of intracoronary (pyr)apelin-13 administration on coronary blood flow (P = 0.83) or vasorelaxation in isolated, endothelium-intact (P = 0.89) or denuded (P = 0.38) coronary artery rings. Examination of all data across (pyr)apelin-13 concentrations revealed an exponential increase in cardiac output as peripheral resistance decreased across pigs and dogs (P < 0.001; R2 = 0.78). Assessment of the Frank-Starling relationship demonstrated a significant linear relationship between left ventricular end-diastolic volume and stroke volume across species (P < 0.001; R2 = 0.70). Taken together, these findings demonstrate that (pyr)apelin-13 does not directly influence myocardial contractility or coronary blood flow in either dogs or pigs.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our findings provide much needed insight regarding the pharmacological cardiac and coronary effects of (pyr)apelin-13 in larger animal preparations. In particular, data highlight distinct hemodynamic responses of apelin across species, which are independent of any direct effect on myocardial contractility or perfusion.

Abstract
Recognition that coronary blood flow is tightly coupled with myocardial metabolism has been appreciated for well over half a century. However, exactly how coronary microvascular resistance is tightly coupled with myocardial oxygen consumption (MV̇o2) remains one of the most highly contested mysteries of the coronary circulation to this day. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for local metabolic control of coronary blood flow has been confounded by continued debate regarding both anticipated experimental outcomes and data interpretation. For a number of years, coronary venous Po2 has been generally accepted as a measure of myocardial tissue oxygenation and thus the classically proposed error signal for the generation of vasodilator metabolites in the heart. However, interpretation of changes in coronary venous Po2 relative to MV̇o2 are quite nuanced, inherently circular in nature, and subject to confounding influences that remain largely unaccounted for. The purpose of this review is to highlight difficulties in interpreting the complex interrelationship between key coronary outcome variables and the arguments that emerge from prior studies performed during exercise, hemodilution, hypoxemia, and alterations in perfusion pressure. Furthermore, potential paths forward are proposed to help to facilitate further dialogue and study to ultimately unravel what has become the Gordian knot of the coronary circulation.

Abstract
The goal of the present study was to evaluate the effects of SGLT2i on cardiac contractile function, substrate utilization, and efficiency before and during regional myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in normal, metabolically healthy swine. Lean swine received placebo or canagliflozin (300 mg PO) 24 h prior to and the morning of an invasive physiologic study protocol. Hemodynamic and cardiac function measurements were obtained at baseline, during a 30-min complete occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery, and during a 2-h reperfusion period. Blood pressure, heart rate, coronary flow, and myocardial oxygen consumption were unaffected by canagliflozin treatment. Ventricular volumes remained unchanged in controls throughout the protocol. At the onset of ischemia, canagliflozin produced acute large increases in left ventricular end-diastolic and systolic volumes which returned to baseline with reperfusion. Canagliflozin-mediated increases in end-diastolic volume were directly associated with increases in stroke volume and stroke work relative to controls during ischemia. Canagliflozin also increased cardiac work efficiency during ischemia relative to control swine. No differences in myocardial uptake of glucose, lactate, free fatty acids or ketones, were noted between treatment groups at any time. In separate experiments using a longer 60 min coronary occlusion followed by 2 h of reperfusion, canagliflozin increased end-diastolic volume and stroke volume and significantly diminished myocardial infarct size relative to control swine. These data demonstrate that SGLT2i with canagliflozin preserves cardiac contractile function and efficiency during regional myocardial ischemia and provides ischemia protection independent of alterations in myocardial substrate utilization.

Abstract
CONTEXT It is unclear if effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and clinically available GLP-1 agonists on the heart occur at clinical doses in humans, possibly contributing to reduced cardiovascular disease risk. OBJECTIVE To determine whether liraglutide, at clinical dosing, augments myocardial glucose uptake (MGU) alone or combined with insulin compared with insulin alone in metformin-treated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). DESIGN In a randomized clinical trial of patients with T2D treated with metformin plus oral agents or basal insulin, myocardial fuel use was compared after 3 months of treatment with insulin detemir, liraglutide, or combination detemir plus liraglutide added to background metformin. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Myocardial blood flow (MBF), fuel selection, and rates of fuel use were evaluated using positron emission tomography, powered to demonstrate large effects. RESULTS MBF was greater in the insulin-treated groups [median (25th, 75th percentile): detemir, 0.64 mL/g/min (0.50, 0.69); liraglutide, 0.52 mL/g/min (0.46, 0.58); detemir plus liraglutide, 0.75 mL/g/min (0.55, 0.77); P = 0.035 comparing three groups, P = 0.01 comparing detemir groups to liraglutide alone]. There were no evident differences among groups in MGU [detemir, 0.040 µmol/g/min (0.013, 0.049); liraglutide, 0.055 µmol/g/min (0.019, 0.105); detemir plus liraglutide, 0.037 µmol/g/min (0.009, 0.046); P = 0.68 comparing three groups]. There were no treatment-group differences in measures of myocardial fatty acid uptake or handling, and no differences in total oxidation rate. CONCLUSION These observations argue against large effects of GLP-1 agonists on myocardial fuel metabolism as mediators of beneficial treatment effects on myocardial function and ischemia protection.

Abstract
The local metabolic hypothesis proposes that myocardial oxygen tension determines the degree of autoregulation by increasing the production of vasodilator metabolites as perfusion pressure is reduced. Thus, normal physiologic levels of coronary venous PO2, an index of myocardial oxygenation, are proposed to be required for effective autoregulation. The present study challenged this hypothesis through determination of coronary responses to changes in coronary perfusion pressure (CPP 140-40 mmHg) in open-chest swine in the absence (n = 7) and presence of euvolemic hemodilution (~ 50% reduction in hematocrit), with (n = 5) and without (n = 6) infusion of dobutamine to augment MVO2. Coronary venous PO2 decreased over similar ranges (~ 28-15 mmHg) as CPP was lowered from 140 to 40 mmHg in each of the groups. However, coronary venous PO2 was not associated with changes in coronary blood flow (r = - 0.11; P = 0.29) or autoregulatory gain (r = - 0.29; P = 0.12). Coronary zero-flow pressure (Pzf) was measured in 20 mmHg increments and determined to be directly related to vascular resistance (r = 0.71; P < 0.001). Further analysis demonstrated that changes in coronary blood flow remained minimal at Pzf > 20 mmHg, but progressively increased as Pzf decreased below this threshold value (r = 0.68; P < 0.001). Coronary Pzf was also positively correlated with autoregulatory gain (r = 0.43; P = 0.001). These findings support that coronary autoregulatory behavior is predominantly dependent on an adequate degree of underlying vasomotor tone, independent of normal myocardial oxygen tension.

Abstract
This study was designed to identify mechanisms responsible for coronary vasodilation in response to progressive decreases in hematocrit. Isovolemic hemodilution was produced in open-chest, anesthetized swine via concurrent removal of 500 ml of arterial blood and the addition of 500 ml of 37 °C saline or synthetic plasma expander (Hespan, 6% hetastarch in 0.9% sodium chloride). Progressive hemodilution with Hespan resulted in an increase in coronary flow from 0.39 ± 0.05 to 1.63 ± 0.16 ml/min/g (P < 0.001) as hematocrit was reduced from 32 ± 1 to 10 ± 1% (P < 0.001). Overall, coronary flow corresponded with the level of myocardial oxygen consumption, was dependent on arterial pressures ≥ ~ 60 mmHg, and occurred with little/no change in coronary venous PO2. Anemic coronary vasodilation was unaffected by the inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME: 25 mg/kg iv; P = 0.92) or voltage-dependent K+ (K V) channels (4-aminopyridine: 0.3 mg/kg iv; P = 0.52). However, administration of the K ATP channel antagonist (glibenclamide: 3.6 mg/kg iv) resulted in an ~ 40% decrease in coronary blood flow (P < 0.001) as hematocrit was reduced to ~ 10%. These reductions in coronary blood flow corresponded with significant reductions in myocardial oxygen delivery at baseline and throughout isovolemic anemia (P < 0.001). These data indicate that vasodilator factors produced in response to isovolemic hemodilution converge on vascular smooth muscle glibenclamide-sensitive (K ATP) channels to maintain myocardial oxygen delivery and that this response is not dependent on endothelial-derived nitric oxide production or pathways that mediate dilation via K V channels.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) therapies improve cardiac contractile function at rest and in response to adrenergic stimulation in obese swine after myocardial infarction. Obese Ossabaw swine were subjected to gradually developing regional coronary occlusion using an ameroid occluder placed around the left anterior descending coronary artery. Animals received subcutaneous injections of saline or liraglutide (0.005-0.015 mg/kg/day) for 30 days after ameroid placement. Cardiac performance was assessed at rest and in response to sympathomimetic challenge (dobutamine 0.3-10 μg/kg/min) using a left ventricular pressure/volume catheter. Liraglutide increased diastolic relaxation (dP/dt; Tau 1/2; Tau 1/e) during dobutamine stimulation (P < 0.01) despite having no influence on the magnitude of myocardial infarction. The slope of the end-systolic pressure volume relationship (i.e., contractility) increased with dobutamine after liraglutide (P < 0.001) but not saline administration (P = 0.63). Liraglutide enhanced the slope of the relationship between cardiac power and pressure volume area (i.e., cardiac efficiency) with dobutamine (P = 0.017). Hearts from animals treated with liraglutide demonstrated decreased β1-adrenoreceptor expression. These data support that GLP-1 agonism augments cardiac efficiency via attenuation of maladaptive sympathetic signaling in the setting of obesity and myocardial infarction.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as the concurrence of obesity-associated cardiovascular risk factors including abdominal obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertriglyceridemia, decreased HDL cholesterol, and/or hypertension. Earlier conceptualizations of the MetS focused on insulin resistance as a core feature, and it is clearly coincident with the above list of features. Each component of the MetS is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the combination of these risk factors elevates rates and severity of cardiovascular disease, related to a spectrum of cardiovascular conditions including microvascular dysfunction, coronary atherosclerosis and calcification, cardiac dysfunction, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. While advances in understanding the etiology and consequences of this complex disorder have been made, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely understood, and it is unclear how these concurrent risk factors conspire to produce the variety of obesity-associated adverse cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we highlight current knowledge regarding the pathophysiological consequences of obesity and the MetS on cardiovascular function and disease, including considerations of potential physiological and molecular mechanisms that may contribute to these adverse outcomes.

Abstract
The heart is uniquely responsible for providing its own blood supply through the coronary circulation. Regulation of coronary blood flow is quite complex and, after over 100 years of dedicated research, is understood to be dictated through multiple mechanisms that include extravascular compressive forces (tissue pressure), coronary perfusion pressure, myogenic, local metabolic, endothelial as well as neural and hormonal influences. While each of these determinants can have profound influence over myocardial perfusion, largely through effects on end-effector ion channels, these mechanisms collectively modulate coronary vascular resistance and act to ensure that the myocardial requirements for oxygen and substrates are adequately provided by the coronary circulation. The purpose of this series of Comprehensive Physiology is to highlight current knowledge regarding the physiologic regulation of coronary blood flow, with emphasis on functional anatomy and the interplay between the physical and biological determinants of myocardial oxygen delivery. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Our understanding of the pathophysiological basis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) will be accelerated by an animal model that replicates the phenotype of human CTEPH. Sprague-Dawley rats were administered a combination of a single dose each of plastic microspheres and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor antagonist in polystyrene microspheres (PE) + tyrosine kinase inhibitor SU5416 (SU) group. Shams received volume-matched saline; PE and SU groups received only microspheres or SU5416, respectively. PE + SU rats exhibited sustained pulmonary hypertension (62 ± 13 and 53 ± 14 mmHg at 3 and 6 weeks, respectively) with reduction of the ventriculoarterial coupling in vivo coincident with a large decrement in peak rate of oxygen consumption during aerobic exercise, respectively. PE + SU produced right ventricular hypokinesis, dilation, and hypertrophy observed on echocardiography, and 40% reduction in right ventricular contractile function in isolated perfused hearts. High-resolution computed tomographic pulmonary angiography and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry revealed abundant lung neovascularization and cellular proliferation in PE that was distinctly absent in the PE + SU group. We present a novel rodent model to reproduce much of the known phenotype of CTEPH, including the pivotal pathophysiological role of impaired vascular endothelial growth factor-dependent vascular remodeling. This model may reveal a better pathophysiological understanding of how PE transitions to CTEPH in human treatments.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that obesity alters the cardiac response to ischemia/reperfusion and/or glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor activation, and that these differences are associated with alterations in the obese cardiac proteome and microRNA (miRNA) transcriptome. Ossabaw swine were fed normal chow or obesogenic diet for 6 months. Cardiac function was assessed at baseline, during a 30-minutes coronary occlusion, and during 2 hours of reperfusion in anesthetized swine treated with saline or exendin-4 for 24 hours. Cardiac biopsies were obtained from normal and ischemia/reperfusion territories. Fat-fed animals were heavier, and exhibited hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. Plasma troponin-I concentration (index of myocardial injury) was increased following ischemia/reperfusion and decreased by exendin-4 treatment in both groups. Ischemia/reperfusion produced reductions in systolic pressure and stroke volume in lean swine. These indices were higher in obese hearts at baseline and relatively maintained throughout ischemia/reperfusion. Exendin-4 administration increased systolic pressure in lean swine but did not affect the blood pressure in obese swine. End-diastolic volume was reduced by exendin-4 following ischemia/reperfusion in obese swine. These divergent physiologic responses were associated with obesity-related differences in proteins related to myocardial structure/function (e.g. titin) and calcium handling (e.g. SERCA2a, histidine-rich Ca(2+) binding protein). Alterations in expression of cardiac miRs in obese hearts included miR-15, miR-27, miR-130, miR-181, and let-7. Taken together, these observations validate this discovery approach and reveal novel associations that suggest previously undiscovered mechanisms contributing to the effects of obesity on the heart and contributing to the actions of GLP-1 following ischemia/reperfusion.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and voltage-dependent K(+) (KV) channels play key roles in regulating coronary blood flow in response to metabolic, ischemic, and paracrine stimuli. The KV channels responsible have not been identified, but KV7 channels are possible candidates. Existing data regarding KV7 channel function in the coronary circulation (limited to ex vivo assessments) are mixed. Thus we examined the hypothesis that KV7 channels are present in cells of the coronary vascular wall and regulate vasodilation in swine. We performed a variety of molecular, biochemical, and functional (in vivo and ex vivo) studies. Coronary arteries expressed KCNQ genes (quantitative PCR) and KV7.4 protein (Western blot). Immunostaining demonstrated KV7.4 expression in conduit and resistance vessels, perhaps most prominently in the endothelial and adventitial layers. Flupirtine, a KV7 opener, relaxed coronary artery rings, and this was attenuated by linopirdine, a KV7 blocker. Endothelial denudation inhibited the flupirtine-induced and linopirdine-sensitive relaxation of coronary artery rings. Moreover, linopirdine diminished bradykinin-induced endothelial-dependent relaxation of coronary artery rings. There was no effect of intracoronary flupirtine or linopirdine on coronary blood flow at the resting heart rate in vivo. Linopirdine had no effect on coronary vasodilation in vivo elicited by ischemia, H2O2, or tachycardia. However, bradykinin increased coronary blood flow in vivo, and this was attenuated by linopirdine. These data indicate that KV7 channels are expressed in some coronary cell type(s) and influence endothelial function. Other physiological functions of coronary vascular KV7 channels remain unclear, but they do appear to contribute to endothelium-dependent responses to paracrine stimuli.

Abstract
To determine the impact of progressive elevations in peripheral vascular disease (PVD) risk on microvascular function, we utilized eight rat models spanning "healthy" to "high PVD risk" and used a multiscale approach to interrogate microvascular function and outcomes: healthy: Sprague-Dawley rats (SDR) and lean Zucker rats (LZR); mild risk: SDR on high-salt diet (HSD) and SDR on high-fructose diet (HFD); moderate risk: reduced renal mass-hypertensive rats (RRM) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR); high risk: obese Zucker rats (OZR) and Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DSS). Vascular reactivity and biochemical analyses demonstrated that even mild elevations in PVD risk severely attenuated nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and caused progressive shifts in arachidonic acid metabolism, increasing thromboxane A2 levels. With the introduction of hypertension, arteriolar myogenic activation and adrenergic constriction were increased. However, while functional hyperemia and fatigue resistance of in situ skeletal muscle were not impacted with mild or moderate PVD risk, blood oxygen handling suggested an increasingly heterogeneous perfusion within resting and contracting skeletal muscle. Analysis of in situ networks demonstrated an increasingly stable and heterogeneous distribution of perfusion at arteriolar bifurcations with elevated PVD risk, a phenomenon that was manifested first in the distal microcirculation and evolved proximally with increasing risk. The increased perfusion distribution heterogeneity and loss of flexibility throughout the microvascular network, the result of the combined effects on NO bioavailability, arachidonic acid metabolism, myogenic activation, and adrenergic constriction, may represent the most accurate predictor of the skeletal muscle microvasculopathy and poor health outcomes associated with chronic elevations in PVD risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the mechanisms by which H2 S modulates coronary microvascular resistance and myocardial perfusion at rest and in response to cardiac ischemia. METHODS Experiments were conducted in isolated coronary arteries and in open-chest anesthetized dogs. RESULTS We found that the H2 S substrate l-cysteine (1-10 mM) did not alter coronary tone of isolated arteries in vitro or coronary blood flow in vivo. In contrast, intracoronary (ic) H2 S (0.1-3 mM) increased coronary flow from 0.49 ± 0.08 to 2.65 ± 0.13 mL/min/g (p < 0.001). This increase in flow was unaffected by inhibition of Kv channels with 4-aminopyridine (p = 0.127) but was attenuated (0.23 ± 0.02-1.13 ± 0.13 mL/min/g) by the KATP channel antagonist glibenclamide (p < 0.001). Inhibition of NO synthesis (l-NAME) did not attenuate coronary responses to H2 S. Immunohistochemistry revealed expression of CSE, an endogenous H2 S enzyme, in myocardium. Inhibition of CSE with β-cyano-l-alanine (10 μM) had no effect on baseline coronary flow or responses to a 15-second coronary occlusion (p = 0.82). CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that exogenous H2 S induces potent, endothelial-independent dilation of the coronary microcirculation predominantly through the activation of KATP channels, however, our data do not support a functional role for endogenous H2 S in the regulation of coronary microvascular resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effects of coronary perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) on vasomotor tone are influenced by an obese phenotype and are distinct from other adipose tissue depots. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of lean and obese coronary PVAT on end-effector mechanisms of coronary vasodilation and to identify potential factors involved. APPROACH AND RESULTS Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed similarities in coronary perivascular adipocyte size between lean and obese Ossabaw swine. Isometric tension studies of isolated coronary arteries from Ossabaw swine revealed that factors derived from lean and obese coronary PVAT attenuated vasodilation to adenosine. Lean coronary PVAT inhibited K(Ca) and KV7, but not KATP channel-mediated dilation in lean arteries. In the absence of PVAT, vasodilation to K(Ca) and KV7 channel activation was impaired in obese arteries relative to lean arteries. Obese PVAT had no effect on K(Ca) or KV7 channel-mediated dilation in obese arteries. In contrast, obese PVAT inhibited KATP channel-mediated dilation in both lean and obese arteries. The differential effects of obese versus lean PVAT were not associated with changes in either coronary KV7 or K(ATP) channel expression. Incubation with calpastatin attenuated coronary vasodilation to adenosine in lean but not in obese arteries. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that lean and obese coronary PVAT attenuates vasodilation via inhibitory effects on vascular smooth muscle K(+) channels and that alterations in specific factors such as calpastatin are capable of contributing to the initiation or progression of smooth muscle dysfunction in obesity.

Abstract
A major challenge facing public health is the increased incidence and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, a clinical condition characterized by excess adiposity, impaired glycaemic control, dyslipidaemia and moderate hypertension. The greatest concern for this syndrome is the profound increase in risk for development of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in afflicted persons. However, ongoing studies suggest that reductions in bulk blood flow to skeletal muscle may not be the primary contributor to the premature muscle fatigue that is a hallmark of PVD. Compelling evidence has been provided suggesting that an increasingly spatially heterogeneous and temporally stable distribution of blood flow at successive arteriolar bifurcations in metabolic syndrome creates an environment where a large number of the pre-capillary arterioles have low perfusion, low haematocrit, and are increasingly confined to this state, with limited ability to adapt perfusion in response to a challenged environment. Single pharmacological interventions are unable to significantly restore function owing to a divergence in their spatial effectiveness, although combined therapeutic approaches to correct adrenergic dysfunction, elevated oxidant stress and increased thromboxane A2 improve perfusion-based outcomes. Integrated, multi-target therapeutic interventions designed to restore healthy network function and flexibility may provide for superior outcomes in subjects with metabolic syndrome-associated PVD.

Abstract
Evolution of metabolic syndrome is associated with a progressive reduction in skeletal muscle microvessel density, known as rarefaction. Although contributing to impairments to mass transport and exchange, the temporal development of rarefaction and the contributing mechanisms that lead to microvessel loss are both unclear and critical areas for investigation. Although previous work suggests that rarefaction severity in obese Zucker rats (OZR) is predicted by the chronic loss of vascular nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, we have determined that this hides a biphasic development of rarefaction, with both early and late components. Although the total extent of rarefaction was well predicted by the loss in NO bioavailability, the early pulse of rarefaction developed before a loss of NO bioavailability and was associated with altered venular function (increased leukocyte adhesion/rolling), and early elevation in oxidant stress, TNF-α levels, and the vascular production of thromboxane A2 (TxA2). Chronic inhibition of TNF-α blunted the severity of rarefaction and also reduced vascular oxidant stress and TxA2 production. Chronic blockade of the actions of TxA2 also blunted rarefaction, but did not impact oxidant stress or inflammation, suggesting that TxA2 is a downstream outcome of elevated reactive oxygen species and inflammation. If chronic blockade of TxA2 is terminated, microvascular rarefaction in OZR skeletal muscle resumes, but at a reduced rate despite low NO bioavailability. These results suggest that therapeutic interventions against inflammation and TxA2 under conditions where metabolic syndrome severity is moderate or mild may prevent the development of a condition of accelerated microvessel loss with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that has been shown to have hemodynamic and cardioprotective capacity in addition to its better characterized glucoregulatory actions. Because of this, emerging research has focused on the ability of GLP-1 based therapies to drive myocardial substrate selection, enhance cardiac performance and regulate heart rate, blood pressure and vascular tone. These studies have produced consistent and reproducible results amongst numerous laboratories. However, there are obvious disparities in findings obtained in small animal models versus those of higher mammals. This species dependent discrepancy calls to question, the translational value of individual findings. Moreover, few studies of GLP-1 mediated cardiovascular action have been performed in the presence of a pre-existing comorbidities (e.g. obesity/diabetes) which limits interpretation of the effectiveness of incretin-based therapies in the setting of disease. This review addresses cardiovascular and hemodynamic potential of GLP-1 based therapies with attention to species specific effects as well as the interaction between therapies and disease.

Abstract
Coronary perivascular adipose tissue is a naturally occurring adipose tissue depot that normally surrounds the major coronary arteries on the surface of the heart. Although originally thought to promote vascular health and integrity, there is a growing body of evidence to support that coronary perivascular adipose tissue displays a distinct phenotype relative to other adipose depots and is capable of producing local factors with the potential to augment coronary vascular tone, inflammation, and the initiation and progression of coronary artery disease. The purpose of the present review is to outline previous findings about the cardiovascular effects of coronary perivascular adipose tissue and the potential mechanisms by which adipose-derived factors may influence coronary vascular function and the progression of atherogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To use the OZR model of the metabolic syndrome to determine the impact of dilator stimuli on MA of GA and MCA. We tested the hypothesis that increased oxidant stress and TxA2 exacerbate MA, and prevent its blunting with dilator stimuli, in OZR. METHODS GA/MCA from OZR and LZR was pressurized ex vivo. MA was determined under control conditions and following challenge with acetylcholine, hypoxia, and adenosine. Responses were also evaluated after pre-treatment with TEMPOL (antioxidant) and SQ-29548 (PGH2 /TxA2 receptor antagonist). RESULTS MA was increased (and dilator responses decreased) in GA/MCA from OZR, dependent on the endothelium and ROS. In GA, the impact of ROS on MA and dilator effects was largely via TxA2 , while in MCA, this appeared was more dependent on NO bioavailability. Intrinsic responses of GA/MCA to carbacyclin, U46619, and NO donors were similar between strains. CONCLUSIONS A developing ROS-based endothelial dysfunction in MCA and GA of OZR contributes to an enhanced MA of these vessels. Although treatment of GA/MCA with TEMPOL attenuates MA in OZR, the mechanistic contributors to altered MA, distal to ROS, differ between the two resistance vessels.

Abstract
Previous investigations indicate that diminished functional expression of voltage-dependent K(+) (KV) channels impairs control of coronary blood flow in obesity/metabolic syndrome. The goal of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that KV channels are electromechanically coupled to CaV1.2 channels and that coronary microvascular dysfunction in obesity is related to subsequent increases in CaV1.2 channel activity. Initial studies revealed that inhibition of KV channels with 4-aminopyridine (4AP, 0.3 mM) increased intracellular [Ca(2+)], contracted isolated coronary arterioles and decreased coronary reactive hyperemia. These effects were reversed by blockade of CaV1.2 channels. Further studies in chronically instrumented Ossabaw swine showed that inhibition of CaV1.2 channels with nifedipine (10 μg/kg, iv) had no effect on coronary blood flow at rest or during exercise in lean swine. However, inhibition of CaV1.2 channels significantly increased coronary blood flow, conductance, and the balance between coronary flow and metabolism in obese swine (P < 0.05). These changes were associated with a ~50 % increase in inward CaV1.2 current and elevations in expression of the pore-forming subunit (α1c) of CaV1.2 channels in coronary smooth muscle cells from obese swine. Taken together, these findings indicate that electromechanical coupling between KV and CaV1.2 channels is involved in the regulation of coronary vasomotor tone and that increases in CaV1.2 channel activity contribute to coronary microvascular dysfunction in the setting of obesity.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) has insulin-like effects on myocardial glucose uptake which may contribute to its beneficial effects in the setting of myocardial ischemia. Whether these effects are different in the setting of obesity or type 2 diabetes (T2DM) requires investigation. We examined the cardiometabolic actions of GLP-1 (7-36) in lean and obese/T2DM humans, and in lean and obese Ossabaw swine. GLP-1 significantly augmented myocardial glucose uptake under resting conditions in lean humans, but this effect was impaired in T2DM. This observation was confirmed and extended in swine, where GLP-1 effects to augment myocardial glucose uptake during exercise were seen in lean but not in obese swine. GLP-1 did not increase myocardial oxygen consumption or blood flow in humans or in swine. Impaired myocardial responsiveness to GLP-1 in obesity was not associated with any apparent alterations in myocardial or coronary GLP1-R expression. No evidence for GLP-1-mediated activation of cAMP/PKA or AMPK signaling in lean or obese hearts was observed. GLP-1 treatment augmented p38-MAPK activity in lean, but not obese cardiac tissue. Taken together, these data provide novel evidence indicating that the cardiometabolic effects of GLP-1 are attenuated in obesity and T2DM, via mechanisms that may involve impaired p38-MAPK signaling.

Abstract
A key clinical outcome for peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in patients is a progressive decay in skeletal muscle performance and its ability to resist fatigue with elevated metabolic demand. We have demonstrated that PVD in obese Zucker rats (OZR) is partially due to increased perfusion distribution heterogeneity at successive microvascular bifurcations within skeletal muscle. As this increased heterogeneity (γ) is longitudinally present in the network, its cumulative impact is a more heterogeneous distribution of perfusion between terminal arterioles than normal, causing greater regional tissue ischemia. To minimize this negative outcome, a likely compensatory mechanism against an increased γ should be an increased temporal switching at arteriolar bifurcations to minimize downstream perfusion deficits. Using in situ cremaster muscle, we determined that temporal activity (the cumulative sum of absolute differences between successive values of γ, taken every 20 s) was lower in OZR than in control animals, and this difference was present in both proximal (1A-2A) and distal (3A-4A) arteriolar bifurcations. Although adrenoreceptor blockade (phentolamine) improved temporal activity in 1A-2A arteriolar bifurcations in OZR, this was without impact in the distal microcirculation, where only interventions against oxidant stress (Tempol) and thromboxane A(2) activity (SQ-29548) were effective. Analysis of the attractor for γ indicated that it was not only elevated in OZR but also exhibited severe reductions in range, suggesting that the ability of the microcirculation to respond to any challenge is highly restricted and may represent the major contributor to the manifestation of poor muscle performance at this age in OZR.

Abstract
Previous studies from our laboratory showed that coronary arterioles from type 2 diabetic mice undergo inward hypertrophic remodeling and reduced stiffness. The aim of the current study was to determine if coronary resistance microvessels (CRMs) in Ossabaw swine with metabolic syndrome (MetS) undergo remodeling distinct from coronary conduit arteries. Male Ossabaw swine were fed normal (n = 7, Lean) or hypercaloric high-fat (n = 7, MetS) diets for 6 mo, and then CRMs were isolated and mounted on a pressure myograph. CRMs isolated from MetS swine exhibited decreased luminal diameters (126 ± 5 and 105 ± 9 μm in Lean and MetS, respectively, P < 0.05) with thicker walls (18 ± 3 and 31 ± 3 μm in Lean and MetS, respectively, P < 0.05), which doubled the wall-to-lumen ratio (14 ± 2 and 30 ± 2 in Lean and MetS, respectively, P < 0.01). Incremental modulus of elasticity (IME) and beta stiffness index (BSI) were reduced in CRMs isolated from MetS pigs (IME: 3.6 × 10(6) ± 0.7 × 10(6) and 1.1 × 10(6) ± 0.2 × 10(6) dyn/cm(2) in Lean and MetS, respectively, P < 0.001; BSI: 10.3 ± 0.4 and 7.3 ± 1.8 in Lean and MetS, respectively, P < 0.001). BSI in the left anterior descending coronary artery was augmented in pigs with MetS. Structural changes were associated with capillary rarefaction, decreased hyperemic-to-basal coronary flow velocity ratio, and augmented myogenic tone. MetS CRMs showed a reduced collagen-to-elastin ratio, while immunostaining for the receptor for advanced glycation end products was selectively increased in the left anterior descending coronary artery. These data suggest that MetS causes hypertrophic inward remodeling of CRMs and capillary rarefaction, which contribute to decreased coronary flow and myocardial ischemia. Moreover, our data demonstrate novel differential remodeling between coronary micro- and macrovessels in a clinically relevant model of MetS.

Abstract
The evolution of the metabolic syndrome in afflicted individuals is, in part, characterized by the development of a severely pro-oxidant state within the vasculature. It has been previously demonstrated by many investigators that this increasingly pro-oxidant state can have severe negative implications for many relevant processes within the vasculature, including the coordination of dilator/constrictor tone or reactivity, the structural adaptations of the vascular wall or distal networks, as well as the integrated regulation of perfusion resistance across and throughout the vascular networks. The purpose of this review article is to present the different sources of oxidant stress within the setting of the metabolic syndrome, the available mechanism for attempts at regulation and the vascular outcomes associated with this condition. It is anticipated that this overview will help readers and investigators to more effectively design experiments and interpret their results within the extremely complicated setting of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
The isolated microvessel preparation is an ex vivo preparation that allows for examination of the different contributions of factors that control vessel diameter, and thus, perfusion resistance(1-5). This is a classic experimental preparation that was, in large measure, initially described by Uchida et al.(15) several decades ago. This initial description provided the basis for the techniques that was extensively modified and enhanced, primarily in the laboratory of Dr. Brian Duling at the University of Virginia(6-8), and we present a current approach in the following pages. This preparation will specifically refer to the gracilis arteriole in a rat as the microvessel of choice, but the basic preparation can readily be applied to vessels isolated from nearly any other tissue or organ across species(9-13). Mechanical (i.e., dimensional) changes in the isolated microvessels can easily be evaluated in response to a broad array of physiological (e.g., hypoxia, intravascular pressure, or shear) or pharmacological challenges, and can provide insight into mechanistic elements comprising integrated responses in an intact, although ex vivo, tissue. The significance of this method is that it allows for facile manipulation of the influences on the integrated regulation of microvessel diameter, while also allowing for the control of many of the contributions from other sources, including intravascular pressure (myogenic), autonomic innervation, hemodynamic (e.g., shear stress), endothelial dependent or independent stimuli, hormonal, and parenchymal influences, to provide a partial list. Under appropriate experimental conditions and with appropriate goals, this can serve as an advantage over in vivo or in situ tissue/organ preparations, which do not readily allow for the facile control of broader systemic variables. The major limitation of this preparation is essentially the consequence of its strengths. By definition, the behavior of these vessels is being studied under conditions where many of the most significant contributors to the regulation of vascular resistance have been removed, including neural, humoral, metabolic, etc. As such, the investigator is cautioned to avoid over-interpretation and extrapolation of the data that are collected utilizing this preparation. The other significant area of concern with regard to this preparation is that it can be very easy to damage cellular components such as the endothelial lining or the vascular smooth muscle, such that variable source of error can be introduced. It is strongly recommended that the individual investigator utilize appropriate measurements to ensure the quality of the preparation, both at the initiation of the experiment and periodically throughout the course of a protocol.

Abstract
Pulmonary particulate matter (PM) exposure has been epidemiologically associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but the mechanistic foundations for this association are unclear. Exposure to certain types of PM causes changes in the vascular reactivity of several macrovascular segments. However, no studies have focused upon the systemic microcirculation, which is the primary site for the development of peripheral resistance and, typically, the site of origin for numerous pathologies. Ultrafine PM--also referred to as nanoparticles, which are defined as ambient and engineered particles with at least one physical dimension less than 100 nm (Oberdorster et al. 2005)--has been suggested to be more toxic than its larger counterparts by virtue of a larger surface area per unit mass. The purpose of this study was fourfold: (1) determine whether particle size affects the severity of postexposure microvascular dysfunction; (2) characterize alterations in microvascular nitric oxide (NO) production after PM exposure; (3) determine whether alterations in microvascular oxidative stress are associated with NO production, arteriolar dysfunction, or both; and (4) determine whether circulating inflammatory mediators, leukocytes, neurologic mechanisms, or a combination of these play a fundamental role in mediating pulmonary PM exposure and peripheral microvascular dysfunction. To achieve these goals, we created an inhalation chamber that generates stable titanium dioxide (TiO2) aerosols at concentrations up to 20 mg/m3. TiO2 is a well-characterized particle devoid of soluble metals. Sprague Dawley and Fischer 344 (F-344) rats were exposed to fine or nano-TiO2 PM (primary count modes of approximately 710 nm and approximately 100 nm in diameter, respectively) at concentrations of 1.5 to 16 mg/m3 for 4 to 12 hours to produce pulmonary loads of 7 to 150 microg in each rat. Twenty-four hours after pulmonary exposure, the following procedures were performed: the spinotrapezius muscle was prepared for in vivo microscopy, blood samples were taken from an arterial line, and various tissues were harvested for histologic and immunohistochemical analyses. Some rats received a bolus dose of cyclophosphamide 3 days prior to PM exposure to deplete circulating neutrophils and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed in separate groups of rats exposed to identical TiO2 loads. No significant differences in BAL fluid composition based on PM size or load were found in these rats. Plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-18, IL-13, and growth-related oncogene (GRO) (also known as keratinocyte-derived-chemokine [KC]) were altered after PM exposure. In rats exposed to fine TiO2, endothelium-dependent arteriolar dilation was significantly decreased, and this dysfunction was robustly augmented in rats exposed to nano-TiO2. This effect was not related to an altered smooth-muscle responsiveness to NO because arterioles in both groups dilated comparably in response to the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Endogenous microvascular NO production was similarly decreased after inhalation of either fine or nano-TiO2 in a dose-dependent manner. Microvascular oxidative stress was significantly increased among both exposure groups. Furthermore, treatment with antioxidants (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdine-N-oxyl [TEMPOL] plus catalase), the myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor 4-aminobenzoic hydrazide (ABAH), or the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NADPH oxidase) inhibitor apocynin partially restored NO production and normalized arteriolar function in both groups. Neutrophil depletion restored dilation in PM-exposed rats by as much as 42%. Coincubation of the spinotrapezius muscle with the fast sodium (Na+) channel antagonist tetrodotoxin (TTX) restored arteriolar dilation by as much as 54%, suggesting that sympathetic neural input may be affected by PM exposure. The results of these experiments indicate that (1) the size of inhaled PM dictates the intensity of systemic microvascular dysfunction; (2) this arteriolar dysfunction is characterized by a decreased bioavailability of endogenous NO; (3) the loss of bioavailable NO after PM exposure is at least partially caused by elevations in local oxidative stress, MPO activity, NADPH oxidase activity, or a combination of these responses; and (4) circulating neutrophils and sympathetic neurogenic mechanisms also appear to be involved in the systemic microvascular dysfunction that follows PM exposure. Taken together, these mechanistic studies support prominent hypotheses that suggest peripheral vascular effects associated with PM exposure are due to the activation of inflammatory mechanisms, neurogenic mechanisms, or both.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that the metabolic syndrome is associated with impaired skeletal muscle arteriolar function, although integrating observations into a conceptual framework for impaired perfusion in peripheral vascular disease (PVD) has been limited. This study builds on previous work to evaluate in situ arteriolar hemodynamics in cremaster muscle of obese Zucker rats (OZR) to integrate existing knowledge into a greater understanding of impaired skeletal muscle perfusion. In OZR cremaster muscle, perfusion distribution at microvascular bifurcations (γ) was consistently more heterogeneous than in controls. However, while consistent, the underlying mechanistic contributors were spatially divergent as altered adrenergic constriction was the major contributor to altered γ at proximal microvascular bifurcations, with a steady decay with distance, while endothelial dysfunction was a stronger contributor in distal bifurcations with no discernible role proximally. Using measured values of γ, we found that simulations predict that successive alterations to γ in OZR caused more heterogeneous perfusion distribution in distal arterioles than in controls, an effect that could only be rectified by combined adrenoreceptor blockade and improvements to endothelial dysfunction. Intravascular (125)I-labeled albumin tracer washout from in situ gastrocnemius muscle of OZR provided independent support for these observations, indicating increased perfusion heterogeneity that was corrected only by combined adrenoreceptor blockade and improved endothelial function. These results suggest that a defining element of PVD in the metabolic syndrome may be an altered γ at microvascular bifurcations, that its contributors are heterogeneous and spatially distinct, and that interventions to rectify this negative outcome must take a new conceptual framework into account.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome is associated with elevated peripheral vascular disease risk, characterized by mismatched blood flow delivery/distribution and local metabolism. The obese Zucker rat (OZR) model of the metabolic syndrome exhibits myriad vascular impairments, although their integrated impact on functional hyperaemia remains unclear. In this study, arterial pressor responses and skeletal muscle perfusion were assessed in lean Zucker rats (LZRs) and OZRs during adrenergic stimulation (phenylephrine), challenge with thromboxane (U46619) and endothelium-dependent dilatation (methacholine). The OZRs were hypertensive compared with the LZRs, but this was abolished by adrenoreceptor blockade (phentolamine); pressor responses to U46619 were similar between strains and were abolished by blockade with the prostaglandin H(2)/thromboxane A(2) receptor antagonist, SQ-29548. Depressor reactivity to methacholine was impaired in OZRs, but was improved by antioxidant treatment (TEMPOL). Across levels of metabolic demand, blood flow to in situ gastrocnemius muscle was restrained by adrenergic constriction in OZRs, although this diminished with increased demand. Oxygen extraction, reduced in OZRs compared with LZRs across levels of metabolic demand, was improved by TEMPOL or SQ-29548; treatment with phentolamine did not impact extraction, and neither TEMPOL nor SQ-29548 improved muscle blood flow in OZRs. While oxygen uptake and muscle performance were consistently reduced in OZRs versus LZRs, treatment with all three agents improved outcomes, while treatment with individual agents was less effective. These results suggest that contributions of vascular dysfunction to perfusion, oxygen uptake and muscle performance are spatially distinct, with adrenergic constriction impacting proximal resistance and endothelial dysfunction impacting distal microvessel-tissue exchange. Further, these data suggest that increasing skeletal muscle blood flow in OZRs is not sufficient to improve performance, unless distal perfusion inhomogeneities are rectified.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia is defined as excessively high plasma cholesterol levels, and is a strong risk factor for many negative cardiovascular events. Total cholesterol levels above 200 mg/dl have repeatedly been correlated as an independent risk factor for development of peripheral vascular (PVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD), and considerable attention has been directed toward evaluating mechanisms by which hypercholesterolemia may impact vascular outcomes; these include both results of direct cholesterol lowering therapies and alternative interventions for improving vascular function. With specific relevance to the microcirculation, it has been clearly demonstrated that evolution of hypercholesterolemia is associated with endothelial cell dysfunction, a near-complete abrogation in vascular nitric oxide bioavailability, elevated oxidant stress, and the creation of a strongly pro-inflammatory condition; symptoms which can culminate in profound impairments/alterations to vascular reactivity. Effective interventional treatments can be challenging as certain genetic risk factors simply cannot be ignored. However, some hypercholesterolemia treatment options that have become widely used, including pharmaceutical therapies which can decrease circulating cholesterol by preventing either its formation in the liver or its absorption in the intestine, also have pleiotropic effects with can directly improve peripheral vascular outcomes. While physical activity is known to decrease PVD/CAD risk factors, including obesity, psychological stress, impaired glycemic control, and hypertension, this will also increase circulating levels of high density lipoprotein and improving both cardiac and vascular function. This review will provide an overview of the mechanistic consequences of the predominant pharmaceutical interventions and chronic exercise to treat hypercholesterolemia through their impacts on chronic sub-acute inflammation, oxidative stress, and microvascular structure/function relationships.

Abstract
PURPOSE A growing body of epidemiologic evidence links oral health, periodontal disease and cardiovascular health. While underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms are unclear, several studies have suggested a sub-acute inflammatory state, also implicated in the etiology of cardiovascular disease. The objective of the current study was to investigate associations between self-reported dental hygiene (brushing, flossing, preventive care and overall dental health), cardiovascular disease risk factors and systemic inflammation. METHODS 128 adults from 5 different rural counties in West Virginia participated in a comprehensive, community-based health screening that included anthropometric assessments, collection of a blood specimen and completion of a questionnaire about dental hygiene practices and oral health. RESULTS Univariate analysis demonstrated multiple statistically significant associations between self-reported dental hygiene and cardiovascular disease risk factors and markers of systemic inflammation. In regression analysis, after controlling for demographic and cardiovascular disease risk factor covariates, self-reported dental hygiene demonstrated statistically significant and independent associations with adiponectin, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP) and cellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated associations between dental hygiene and systemic inflammation, independent from BMI and blood cholesterol. Future studies should investigate whether periodontal-related systemic inflammation begins before the onset of clinical disease. Results from this and other studies highlight the importance of dental hygiene in overall systemic health, and are beginning to collectively suggest that regular dental hygiene care is an integral part of comprehensive health care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of epidemiologic evidence links oral health, obesity, and cardiovascular health, though few studies have reported on these relationships in children. While underlying mechanisms are unclear, adult studies have suggested sub-acute systemic inflammation, also implicated in the etiology of both obesity and cardiovascular disease. This study investigated associations between self-reported dental hygiene, obesity, and systemic inflammation in children. METHODS 128 children < 19 years of age from rural counties in West Virginia participated in a community-based health screening that included anthropometric assessments, blood collection, and a questionnaire about dental hygiene and self-assessed oral health. RESULTS Participants ranged from 3.0-18.7 years. Univariate analysis demonstrated an association between parent-reported dental hygiene, including frequency of preventive dental care and parent-assessed overall dental health, and markers of systemic inflammation but not obesity. In multivariable regression, parent-assessed overall dental health and obesity were independent predictors of systemic inflammation, after adjustment for age, gender, and parent education. CONCLUSIONS This is the first known study of the association between dental hygiene, obesity, and systemic inflammation in children. These results highlight the importance of preventive dental care in overall, systemic health in children and are consistent with previous reports in adults.

Abstract
Genetic familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) are characterized by elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (FH) and LDL/triglycerides (FCH), with mouse models represented by LDL receptor (LDLR) and apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene deletion mice, respectively. Given the impact of FH and FCH on health outcomes, we determined the impact of FH/FCH on vascular structure in LDLR and ApoE mice. LDLR, ApoE and control mice were utilized at 12-13 and 22-23 weeks when gracilis arteries were studied for wall mechanics and gastrocnemius muscles were harvested for microvessel density measurements. Conduit arteries and plasma samples were harvested for biochemical analyses. Arteries from ApoE and LDLR exhibited blunted expansion versus control, reduced distensibility and left-shifted stress versus strain relation (LDLR > ApoE). Microvessel density was reduced in ApoE and LDLR (ApoE > LDLR). Secondary analyses suggested that wall remodeling in LDLR was associated with cholesterol and MCP-1, while rarefaction in ApoE was associated with tumor necrosis factors-alpha, triglycerides and vascular production of TxA(2). Remodeling in ApoE and LDLR appears distinct; as that in LDLR is preferential for vascular walls, while that for ApoE is stronger for rarefaction. Remodeling in LDLR may be associated with cellular adhesion, while that in ApoE may be associated with pro-apoptotsis and constrictor prostanoid generation.

Abstract
One clinical intervention against the negative outcomes associated with atherothrombotic vascular disease (AVD) is low-dose, chronic aspirin therapy. However, epidemiological studies suggest that recurrence of adverse vascular events with aspirin therapy is growing and associated with therapy duration. The contributors to this outcome are unclear and include poor patient compliance and aspirin-resistant platelet thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2)) production. Based on previous results in hypercholesterolemic mice, we hypothesized that elevated aspirin-insensitive arachidonic acid (AA)-induced TxA(2) production by the vascular endothelium contributes to aspirin resistance in AVD independent of platelet behavior. AA-induced dilation was blunted in aortic rings and in arterioles from apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene deletion mice (vs. C57/Bl6/J), partially due to elevated TxA(2) production. Acute inhibition of cyclooxygenases or TxA(2) synthase attenuated the increased TxA(2) production in ApoE and LDLR and improved AA-induced dilation, responses that were mirrored by chronic treatment with low-dose aspirin of 16 wk duration. However, this effect was not temporally stable, and, with longer-duration therapy, the beneficial impact of aspirin on outcomes diminished. A similar, though less robust, pattern to the impact of chronic aspirin therapy on vascular outcomes was identified with chronic antioxidant treatment (TEMPOL). These results suggest that in dyslipidemic mice, the beneficial impact of chronic aspirin therapy on improving vascular outcomes decay with time and that a contributing element to subsequent negative vascular events may be the development of aspirin-resistant TxA(2) production by the vasculature itself.
