Let’s Talk is especially helpful for students who:
Have a specific concern and would like to consult with someone about it. Would like on-the-spot consultation rather than ongoing counseling. Would like to consult with a CS staff member about what actual therapy looks like. Would like to meet with one of our CS identity-based specialists. Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like some ideas about what to do.How does Let’s Talk work?
Let’s Talk will be offered via Zoom and/or in satellite locations across campus. As a drop-in service, there is no need to schedule an appointment and no paperwork to be completed. Students are seen individually on a first-come, first-served basis at the times listed below. There may be a wait in the Zoom waiting room if the Let’s Talk staff member is meeting with another student. Please wait and we will be with you as soon as we can. Let’s Talk appointments are brief (usually between 15-30 minutes) and are meant to be used on an as-needed basis.
10:00–11:30 a.m.
Talk title: "Aging in the Coronary Microcirculation: Influence of Sex, Mitochondria, and Cell Therapy Interventions”
Abstract of talk:
In aging post-menopausal women, Coronary Microvascular Disease (CMD) leads to hyperconstricted tone, reduced perfusion and chronic micro-ischemia with angina. This is in line with our previous data that show that aged female rats exhibit dilatory dysfunction similar to males, but show hyperconstriction to agonists in opposition to what was observed in males as they age. We have shown an age-related increase in coronary microvascular ROS alongside increased prooxidant gene and protein expression associated with blunted vasodilation. Adipose Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) is a heterogenous cell population that reduces vascular ROS to improve vasodilation. Oxidative stress with aging may be mediated by mitochondrial dysfunction, including fission/fusion imbalance. This presentation will describe our efforts in reversing age-related coronary microvascular dysfunction in aging females via SVF therapy and our most recent use of a mitochondrial-targeted diet to alter fission/fusion relationship.
