Baseline and stimulated nitric oxide (NO) levels were higher, whereas baseline arterial diameter, FMD-stimulated NO increment, and arterial dilatation ratio were lower in Sheehan syndrome (SS) patients than in control subjects. After combination therapy consisting of prednisolone, L-thyroxine, and conjugated estrogen, baseline and stimulated NO levels of SS remained as high, but FMD-stimulated NO, NO increment ratio, and arterial dilatation ratio increased with treatment.

Background: Inflammation is the body's innate reaction to foreign pathogens and serves as a self-regulating mechanism. However, the immune system can mistakenly target the body's own tissues, triggering unnecessary inflammation. For millennia, medicinal plants have been employed for the treatment of diseases.

Investigating the genetic factors influencing human birth weight may lead to biological insights into fetal growth and long-term health. We report analyses of rare variants that impact birth weight when carried by either fetus or mother, using whole exome sequencing data in up to 234,675 participants. Rare protein-truncating and deleterious missense variants are collapsed to perform gene burden tests.
