Alcalase-Based Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Protein Hydrolysates Efficiently Reduce Systolic Blood Pressure in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Studies on antihypertensive chickpea protein hydrolysates have rarely performed in vivo evaluations, limiting the entry of such hydrolysates into functional food development and clinical trials.Thus, our aim was to optimize the hydrolysis conditions to produce an alcalase-based chickpea hydrolysate with a Chillums hypotensive effect in vivo at conv

Blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow oscillations measured with real-time phase-contrast MRI: breathing mode matters

Abstract Background Cervical blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow rates can be quantified with Phase-contrast (PC) MRI, which is routinely used for clinical studies.Previous MRI studies showed that venous and CSF flow alterations are linked to various pathological conditions.Since it is well known that, besides the heart beating, the thoracic J
