Primary objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of oral dipyridamole treatment on the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines will be…
Main study:1. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor improve the insulin-induced microvascular effects in hypertensive patients.2. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor impair the insulin-induced mi-crovascular effects in…
The primary objective of the study is to determine concentration of circulation cytokines na administration of LPS in the presence of iron sucrose (Venofer®), Deferasirox (Exjade®) of placebo.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of atazanavir-induced hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by human endotoxemia.Secondary objectives are:- To determine if the vascular…
Primary objectiveTo identify specific genes in the NO pathway that are turned on or off by inactivity. The results will disclose key-genes in the NO pathway relevant for vascular adaptations. Secondary objectiveTo correlate functional vascular…
Does antagonism of the adenosine receptor by caffeine lead to an increased LPS-induced inflammatory reaction and an increase in (subclinical) tissuedamage?Does the C34T-polymorphism of the enzyme AMP-deaminase lead to a decreased inflammatory…
We aim to study the vasoactive effects of Acetylcholine (NO dependent) in hypertensive patients and normotensive participants. Second, the correlation between the vasoreactivity of Acetylcholine and Angiotensin II will be studied. Third, the…
Primary objective: To determine the effect of hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Secondary Objective(s): - To determine if hyperbilirubinemia shifts the pro-anti…
Primary- To determine the validity of home-based self-monitoring of VC in patients with MND.Secondary- To determine the reliability of home-based self-monitoring of VC in patients with MND.- To evaluate the feasibility of 4-weekly home-based self-…
The primary objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that CRT exerts beneficial effects on the microcirculation by recruitment of capillaries. The secondary objective is to compare the microcirculatory with the hemodynamic parameters and…
