Endothelial function assessment in atherosclerosis: Comparison of brachial artery flow‑mediated vasodilation and peripheral arterial tonometry [PDF]

, 2013
INTRODUCTION Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is a key element in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and an important prognostic factor in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the development of reliable,

Changes in endothelial function during educational hospitalization and the contributor to improvement of endothelial function in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Scientific Reports, 2020
Only a few reports have examined vascular endothelial function before and after educational hospitalization and the factors that affect it in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study was to assess vascular endothelial function

Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]

, 2017
Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and

Improving endothelial vasomotor function

BMJ, 2001
The vascular endothelium is a confluent, cellular monolayer that lines the entire vascular compartment at the interface between blood and the vessel wall. This “organ” possesses complex endocrine and paracrine functions and is intimately concerned in controlling vasomotor tone and preventing atherosclerosis and thrombosis.1 Indeed, endothelial ...

Isoflavones and endothelial function [PDF]

Nutrition Research Reviews, 2005
AbstractDietary isoflavones are thought to be cardioprotective due to their structural similarity to oestrogen. Oestrogen is believed to have beneficial effects on endothelial function and may be one of the mechanisms by which premenopausal women are protected against CVD.

Comparison between Fenugreek and Lovastatin in restoration of endothelial function in an experimental old rat model [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2003
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) with that of lovastatin in restoration of endothelia function in the aorta taken form aged N-Mair rats.

Estrogen improves endothelial function [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1998
To determine the effect of estrogen on endothelium-dependent relaxation in the cutaneous microcirculation of women.Three groups of women participated in the study. Group 1 (n = 20) was premenopausal and had a mean age of 39 years (range 24-50 years). Group 2 (n = 9) was postmenopausal and had a mean age of 58 years (range 53-65 years). Group 3 (n = 11)

Insomnia and endothelial function - the HUNT 3 fitness study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Insomnia is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but the underlying mechanisms are not understood. To our knowledge, no previous studies have examined insomnia in relation to endothelial function, an indicator of ...

Profiling the mouse brain endothelial transcriptome in health and disease models reveals a core blood-brain barrier dysfunction module. [PDF]

, 2019
Blood vessels in the CNS form a specialized and critical structure, the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We present a resource to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate BBB function in health and dysfunction during disease.
