Chloride Channel-Targeted Therapy for Secretory Diarrheas |
Analyzes Enterocyte Cl− channels, which represent an attractive class of targets for diarrhea therapy, as they are the final, rate-limiting step in enterotoxin-induced fluid secretion in the intestine. |
Antisecretory drug therapy has considerable potential in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with infectious and some drug-induced and other diarrheas. |

Endothelial Cell Dysfunction and the Pathobiology of Atherosclerosis |
Traces the evolution of the concept of endothelial cell dysfunction, focusing on recent insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie its pivotal roles in atherosclerotic lesion initiation and progression. |
The development of pharmacomimetics of the natural, flow-mediated vasoprotective endothelial phenotype would appear to be a potentially fruitful strategy. |
