We hypothesize that the amount of physical activity correlates with insulin-induced microvascular recruitment during free-fatty acid infusion in skeletal muscle as well as in the heart. In this study we aim to test this hypothesis.
This study aims at (further) revealing the pathophysiology of intestinal IR in man, with a specific interest for the role of proteases and protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), cellular and inflammatory changes, barrier function and intestinal…
1. The primary objective is to assess the effects of four 250 mg PC-mAB (also referred to as "3G10") once monthly intravenous injections on monocyte function ex vivo. The secondary objectives are to:1. assess the functional effects of 3G10…
To gain further insight into the interaction and possibly shared pathophysiological mechanisms of female-specific cardiovascular risk factors and events we will quantify white matter hyperintensities on brain MRI and assess endothelial function in…
The aim of Prevent CardioKids is to evaluate to what extend disturbed vascular function markers are present in children of different weight categories and whether these are age dependent. Also differences * and relationships between * vascular…
To develop pulse transit time into a diagnostic device which can be used to assess an altered cold/heat mediated vasomotor response (CHMV) (central component) and the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) (peripheral component) in CRPS patients.
1. Do body fatness and/or body fat distribution show a linear association withmicrovascular function in normal as well as IGT subjects?2. Is the effect of body composition on the microvasculature mediated by alteredadipokine profile, low-grade…

To describe the differences in macrophage infiltration and mRNA expression of adipocytokines in subcutaneous, omental and perirenal fat tissue in Cushing's syndrome compared to healthy controls.
Effect of SCS on CBF
Measuring the thickness of the microvascular glycocalyx, and make a comparement between lacunar stroke patients and healthy controls.We also compare glycocalyx between patients with and without concomitant silent signs of cSVD on brain MRI.
To assess the feasibility of measuring a course in ischemia and endothelial activation in antecubital venous blood during cooling and recovery in patients Raynaud*s phenomenon, primary and secondary to SSc with and without Pulmonary Arterial…
We aim to study the role of PVAT in regulation of vascular function, tissue perfusion and glucose uptake in muscle. We hypothesize that PVAT determines insulin-induced vasoreactivity when studied ex vivo and correlates with insulin-induced…
To determine the vaginal microbiota composition during preeclampsia
PrimaryImproved woundhealing in 30 days in patients with an open revascularisation of the lower extremities after treatment with 4 dosages of 2 grams ascorbic acid on 4 consecutive days. (First dosage 1 hour preoperative)SecondaryWith preoperative…
We aim to study the role of PVAT in regulation of vascular function, tissue perfusion and glucose uptake in muscle. We hypothesize that PVAT determines insulin-induced vasoreactivity when studied ex vivo and correlates with insulin-induced…
The aim of this study is to investigate if curcumin is detectable when subjects use curcumin supplements in daily life.
To evaluate the potential attenuating effects of an eight-week supplementation with 200 mg OPCs per day on macro- and microvascular function as well as on systemic biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in healthy smoking subjects.
We hypothesize, that during an oral glucose tolerance test, the OPS arterial flow measured sublingual will be comparable within the same subject, but different between young, elderly and type 2 diabetic patients. Objective is to quantify differences…
In this study the effects of a two-week moderately intense-intense physical activity on vascular function, glucose-metabolism, lipid-metabolism and adipose tissue function will be analyzed.
