Effects of dietary polyphenols on vascular endothelium and cardiovascular health (2017)
Thesis
Ehtesham, E. (2017). Effects of dietary polyphenols on vascular endothelium and cardiovascular health. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219556

Introduction: Polyphenols have been suggested as being able to modulate the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are unclear and the literature lacks consistency and reproducibility, with in vitro...

Phosphoproteomic analysis of platelet signalling cascades by flow cytometry (2014)
Thesis
Spurgeon, B. E. J. (2014). Phosphoproteomic analysis of platelet signalling cascades by flow cytometry. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216373

The activation of blood platelets is a critical haemostatic response that serves to prevent haemorrhage, but unregulated platelet activation is associated with arterial thrombosis. Endothelial-derived inhibitors prostacyclin (PGI₂) and nitric oxide (... Read More about Phosphoproteomic analysis of platelet signalling cascades by flow cytometry.

GLP-1R, a novel receptor in platelets; and the use of liraglutide in the treatment of obesity in women with PCOS (2013)
Thesis
Kahal, H. (2013). GLP-1R, a novel receptor in platelets; and the use of liraglutide in the treatment of obesity in women with PCOS. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215983

Studies investigating atherothrombotic risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in particular platelet function and carotid intima-media wall thickness (cIMT), have been confounded by not adequately accounting for obesity. Liraglutide is... Read More about GLP-1R, a novel receptor in platelets; and the use of liraglutide in the treatment of obesity in women with PCOS.

Effect of non-esterified fatty acids on insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk in polycystic ovary syndrome (2013)
Thesis
Aye, M. M. (2013). Effect of non-esterified fatty acids on insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk in polycystic ovary syndrome. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215486

Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR) and obesity coexist in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and contribute to increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. An intrinsic insulin signalling defect is present in skeletal muscle of PCOS and it...

Regulation of blood platelet function by nitric oxide (2013)
Thesis
Wake, J. D. (2013). Regulation of blood platelet function by nitric oxide. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214507

Upon vascular injury, platelets instantly adhere to the exposed extracellular matrix resulting in platelet activation and aggregation to form a haemostatic plug. This self-amplifying mechanism requires a tight control to prevent uncontrolled platelet... Read More about Regulation of blood platelet function by nitric oxide.

The effects of polyphenol rich chocolate on cardiovascular risk and glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (2013)
Thesis
Mellor, D. D. (2013). The effects of polyphenol rich chocolate on cardiovascular risk and glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214543

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterised by increased rates of morbidity and mortality, much of which is related to cardiovascular disease. T2DM is considered to be a non-communicable disease, with its cause and aetiology linked...

Thesis
González Seña, S. (2011). Interventions in patients at high cardiovascular risk. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212418

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of premature death in UK and an important contributor to escalating health costs. The risk of suffering a cardiovascular event is associated with multiple risk factors that can cluster in different pathological...
