Diet and Endothelial Function [PDF]

Biological Research, 2004
Endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest events in atherogenesis. A consequence of endothelial damage is a lower availability of nitric oxide (NO), the most potent endogenous vasodilator.

Endothelial-erythrocyte glycocalyx exchange enables liquid biopsies of endothelial function [PDF]

Nature Communications
The luminal surface of blood vessels is covered by a hydrated mesh of sugars and proteins termed the endothelial glycocalyx. The glycocalyx forms a permeability barrier and helps regulate leucocyte migration.

Endothelial Functions [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2017
The endothelium plays important roles in modulating vascular tone by synthesizing and releasing a variety of endothelium-derived relaxing factors, including vasodilator prostaglandins, NO, and endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization factors, as well as endothelium-derived contracting factors.

Trace Elements Open a New Direction for the Diagnosis of Atherosclerosis

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Abnormal or excessive accumulation of adipose tissue leads to a condition called obesity. Long-term positive energy balance arises when energy intake surpasses energy expenditure, which increases the risk of metabolic and other chronic diseases, such as ...
