High impact information on Thoracic Arteries

  • There was also a significantly more frequent FDG uptake in the large thoracic arteries in case-patients compared with controls (43% versus 0%; P = 0.03) [1].
  • Electrophoretic analyses of the products of cell-free translation of elastin mRNA isolated from 17-day chick-embryo thoracic arteries have demonstrated that the elastin mRNA codes for polypeptides that are slightly larger than the cellular tropoelastin polypeptides synthesized and secreted by matrix-free artery cells [2].
  • METHODS: The change in mean diameter of the proximal thoracic artery was assessed by quantitative angiography after selective injections of acetylcholine and nitroglycerin [3].
  • RESULTS: The thoracic artery showed a 6.8% (P <. 001) and 9.0% (P <.001) increase in mean diameter after acetylcholine and nitroglycerin administration, respectively [3].
  • Oxygen tension (pO2) was measured in upper thoracic arteries and in muscular foci at the celiac bifurcation from atherosclerosis-susceptible White Carneau and atherosclerosis-resistant Show Racer pigeons at 6, 12, and 24 weeks of age [4].
 

Biological context of Thoracic Arteries

 

Anatomical context of Thoracic Arteries

  • Haemoglobin (10(-5) M, incubated with the artery for 5 min, significantly reduced the level of cGMP in all vessels with endothelium: 35.3 +/- 4.4 (basilar), 16.0 +/- 2.1 (ear), 14.0 +/- 1.9 (common carotid) and 8.7 +/- 1.2 pmol/g tissue (thoracic artery) [6].
