Endothelial Dysfunction and Atherosclerosis
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1989There is increasing evidence that the vascular endothelium is an important functional component of the blood vessel wall, actively participating in normal vascular physiology as well as the pathogenesis of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Markers of Endothelial Dysfunction
cclm, 2000AbstractThe endothelium is a functional barrier between vessel wall and blood stream. Assuming the total human vascular and capillary system occupies a surface area of more than 1,000 m2which is covered by 1013endothelial cells, the complex role of the endothelium for hemostasis and immunological and metabolic processes becomes obvious.

Obesity and Endothelial Dysfunction
Seminars in Vascular Medicine, 2005Obesity is becoming more prevalent in the developed world because of the abundance of food and the decrease of physical activity. Obesity is a risk factor for a host of diseases from arthritis to cardiovascular disease. The precise mechanisms by which obesity promotes cardiovascular disease are not well understood but are likely to include metabolic ...

Endothelial Dysfunction and Hypertension
Hypertension, 2014The role of the vascular endothelium for hypertension development is not trivial to define. A quiescent healthy endothelium continuously releases potent vasodilators in response to the flowing blood, which have the potential to lower vascular resistance directly.

Endothelial microparticles as markers of endothelial dysfunction
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2004Endothelial microparticles (EMP) are small vesicles released from disturbed endothelial cells (EC). Owing to the central importance of EC injury in thrombotic and inflammatory conditions, assay of EMP as a marker of EC disturbance has come under intensive development by several laboratories.

Endothelial Dysfunction in Preeclampsia
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 1998Several years ago the hypothesis was advanced that alterations of endothelial function could explain much of the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Since that time, extensive data have been generated to support the hypothesis. Markers of endothelial activation can be demonstrated in women with overt preeclampsia.

Endothelial Dysfunction in Uraemia
Blood Purification, 2002Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic renal failure (CRF). The endothelium plays a central role in the control of many aspects of vascular function, and abnormalities may contribute to the generation of atherosclerosis.

Endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerosis
1994Endothelial regulation of vasomotor tone occurs largely via the release of nitric oxide or a closely related compound. This process is strikingly altered in a variety of disease states, and alterations of vasomotion may be responsible for the development of hypertension, altered tissue perfusion, and an enhanced propensity for vasoconstriction in ...

[Obesity and endothelial dysfunction].
Giornale italiano di cardiologia (2006), 2006The endothelium plays a crucial role in modulating vascular function and structure. In healthy conditions, nitric oxide produced by endothelial cells exerts not only vasodilating properties, but also several other protective actions toward the vessel wall against the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
