Practice and knowledge of dietary supplement consumption among Indonesian adults post-delta wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Increasing dietary supplement (DS) consumption was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, including during the post-Delta wave period. This study aimed to measure the practice of DS consumption and respondents' knowledge of DS. An internet-based survey was distributed from October-December 2021 and obtained 541 valid and completed responses.

Natural Bioactive Compounds Targeting NADPH Oxidase Pathway in Cardiovascular Diseases.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, in both developed and developing countries. According to the WHO report, the morbidity and mortality caused by CVD will continue to rise with the estimation of death going up to 22.2 million in 2030.

"A Step and a Ceiling": mechanical properties of Ca spark vasoregulation in resistance arteries by pressure-induced oxidative activation of PKG.

We investigated the biomechanical relationship between intraluminal pressure within small mesenteric resistance arteries, oxidant activation of PKG, Ca sparks, and BK channel vasoregulation. Mesenteric resistance arteries from wild type (WT) and genetically modified mice with PKG resistance to oxidative activation were studied using wire and pressure myography. Ca sparks and Ca transients within vascular smooth muscle cells of intact arteries were characterized using high-speed confocal microscopy of intact arteries.
