Teaching Human Anatomy (HLSC 120) Human Physiology II (HLSC 128) Pharmacotherapeutics for Healthcare Professionals (HLSC 220) Research Paul's research centres on understanding the mechanisms regulating blood vessel smooth muscle contraction and relaxation with particular focus on the role of the single layer of cells that line all blood vessels, the endothelium. Endothelial cells release a wide variety of chemicals that can cause contraction or relaxation, with nitric oxide being one of the most important of the relaxing agents. His interest includes elucidating the mechanisms that control the release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells. This interest extends to understanding how blood vessels lose the ability to release nitric oxide in human health conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, that can have serious deleterious effects on blood vessel function. | Physiology, electrophysiology, ion channels, pharmacology, smooth muscle, blood vessels, blood vessel reactivity, endothelium, nitric oxide, diabetes mellitus-induced damage to blood vessels
