Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO PROMOTE, SUPPORT, AND FACILITATE MERITORIOUS BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED BY INVESTIGATORS AT THE PHOENIX VA HEALTH CARE SYSTEM THAT CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE FOR VETERANS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
RESEARCHERS ARE WORKING TO DETERMINE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE APOLIPOPROTEIN (APO) C PROTEOFORMS AND PATTERNS OF DYSLIPIDEMIA, ATHEROSCLEROSIS, AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (CVD) RISK. THIS IS THE FIRST LARGE STUDY EVALUATING FORMS OF APOC-I, APOC-II AND APOC-III AND CVD RISK. THIS GRANT IS A SUBAWARD FROM ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY WITH THE PRIME AWARD BEING GRANTED BY THE NIH.
RESEARCHERS ARE STUDYING THE ROLE OF METHIONINE SULFOXIDE (METSO) AND ADVANCED GLYCATION ENDPRODUCTS (AGE) IN MACROVASCULAR AND MICROVASCULAR DISEASE IN TYPE 2 DIABETES. THIS IMPORTANT RESEARCH PROGRAM FUNDED BY THE NIH HAS TWO SPECIFIC AIMS. ONE IS TO CONFIRM PREVIOUS FINDINGS OF AN INVERSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN METSO AND CVD FROM THE VADT TRIAL IN THE ACCORD TRIAL. THE OTHER AIM IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER AGE PREDICTS INCIDENT DIABETES KIDNEY DISEASE.
THE DOD-FUNDED STUDY FOR VASCULAR DYSFUNCTION AND VASCULAR INFLAMMATION IN TBI-MEDIATED COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION IS INVESTIGATING THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY ON COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND TESTS THE HYPOTHESIS THAT AN EARLY TBI MAKES PEOPLE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CEREBROVASCULAR DYSFUNCTION AFTER THEY ARE DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES. THESE EVENTS LEAD TO A GREAT PREDISPOSITION OF DEMENTIA.
