Central to this role is the production of endothelium – derived nitric oxide (EDNO), synthesized by endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Endothelial dysfunction, manifested as impaired EDNO bioactivity, is an important early event in the development of various vascular disease, including hypertension, diabetes, genesis of tumors and atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is an early feature of atherosclerosis vascular disease, characterized by a decrease in nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and a concomitant increase in vascular superoxide (O2 . -) formation. Loss of NO bioavailability precedes the development of overt atherosclerosis and is an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. Indeed, decreased NO and enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been recognized as major determinants of age-associated endothelial dysfunction. The degree of impairment of EDNO bioactivity is a determinant of future vascular complications. Accordingly, growing interest exists in the pathologic mechanism involved. However it is clear that immunologic mechanisms operating in the context of common cardiovascular risk factors lead to impaired endothelial function, mainly as a consequence of decreased NO bioavailability and excessive oxidative stress. The work submitted in this thesis describes on one side studies aimed to investigate cellular mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction and vascular damages driven by oxidative stress in the context of aging, hypertension and atherosclerosis using in vitro models. In addition, we desired to evaluate the efficacy of reducing agents such as flavonoid to monitor whether they actually have an action to recover from the cellular oxidative damage by these natural compounds and how real is their action at the level of microcirculation in vitro models. On the other side, we present studies focused on the pathophysiology of microcirculation as far as functional aspects are concerned in the context to better understand the functioning of the Renin- Angiotensin-System in particular if the Angiotensin IV is involved in mechanisms of oxidative stress and in Calcium intracellular levels.Item Approccio metodologico per lo studio di malte ed intonaci archeologici del Mediterraneo(2013-11-04) De Luca, Raffaella; Pantano, Pietro; Crisci, Gino Mirocle; Miriello, DomenicoItem Approccio multidisciplinare applicato allo studio delle interazioni tra nanoparticelle e substrati lapidei di diversa natura finalizzato alla conservazione di monumenti di interesse storico-artistico(2013-11-04) Rovella, Natalia; Pantano, Pietro; Crisci, Gino Mirocle; La Russa, Mauro FrancescoItem Arm growth and regeneration in octopus (Octopus vulgaris and Eledone moschata)(Università della Calabria, 2020-02-07) Baldascino, Elena; Cerra, Carmela; Fiorito, GrazianoItem Aspetti citotassonomici, embriologici e morfologici del genere taraxacum Wigg.

In front of climate change and other disturbances coming from human activities, it is of fundamental importance to watch and check stability status of ecosystems. Ground beetles, good bioindicators, by their community composition, functional groups and morphometric sensitivity, provide indicators on habitat conservation evaluation and contribute to identify little changes among areas looking similar. The analisys of biodiversity could be improved by considering the above factors, enhancing the functional role of single species of the community.Item Carabid beetles as natural antagonists of the olive fly Bactrocera oleae Rossi 1790(2014-03-20) Odoguardi, Rosalba; Canonaco, Marcello; Zetto, Tullia; Bonacci, TeresaItem Caratteri neotettonici del bordo nord orientale dell’Arco Calabro(2010) Folino Gallo,Michele; Russo,Franco; Tansi,CarloItem Caratterizzazione composizionale di materiali lapidei geologici ed archeologici finalizzata all'individuazione della provenienza dei litotipi del parco archeologico di Sibari(2009) Francolino, Sonia; Russo, Franco; Crisci, Gino Mirocle; Miriello, DomenicoItem Caratterizzazione del proteoma di fragola durante la maturazione ed in diversi genotipi(2013-10-24) Bianco,Linda; Musacchio,Aldo; Perrotta,GaetanoItem Caratterizzazione idrogeochimica, isotopica e geologica delle aree termali della Calabria Settentrionale(2014-11-26) Vespasiano, Giovanni; Pantano, Pietro; Apollaro, Carmine; Muto, Francesco; De Rose, Rossana
