Endothelial functions in Behçet’s disease
Rheumatology International, 2005Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis, capable of involving all types of vessels. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) has been previously documented in BD. The aim of the study was to see whether ED was more prominent in Behçet's patients with vascular involvement (VI) than in those without.

It has been shown that the presence of well-preserved brachial artery vasoreactivity predicts the absence of coronary artery disease. The recent findings that coronary endothelial dysfunction is associated with an increased risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack in middle-aged patients without coronary artery disease support the concept that ...

Exercise and endothelial function
Coronary Artery Disease, 2000Regular exercise has many benefits for health and has been found to result in a lower incidence of cardiac events and mortality. The exact mechanism is not known; however, physical activity improves cardiac risk factor profiles and may also lead to an improvement in endothelial function.

AbstractEndothelial cells play a wide variety of critical roles in the control of vascular function. Indeed, since the early 1980s, the accumulating knowledge of the endothelial cell structure as well as of the functional properties of the endothelial cells shifted their role from a passive membrane or barrier to a complex tissue with complex functions

Endothelial function in hypertension.
Journal of nephrology, 1997Endothelial dysfunction has been documented both in the forearm and coronary beds of essential hypertensive patients. Impairment in the tonic release of nitric oxide (NO) is secondary to hypertension, while the alteration in agonist-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation seems to be a primary defect caused both by an alteration of the L-arginine-NO

To examine the degree of microvascular endothelial dysfunction in relation to classical cardiovascular risk factors, arterial stiffness, and numbers of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and endothelial microparticles (EMPs), in obese and normal-weight children.Cross-sectional study with 57 obese (15.2±1.4 years) and 30 normal-weight ...

Caveolin regulation of endothelial function
American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2003Caveolae are the sites in the cell membrane responsible for concentrating an array of signaling molecules critical for cell function. Recent studies have begun to identify the functions of caveolin-1, the 22-kDa caveolar protein that oligomerizes and inserts into the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane.

It is well known that diabetes mellitus often combines with hypertension. Diabetes mellitus is associated with endothelial dysfunction. An imbalance of reduced production of nitric oxide or increased production of reactive oxygen species, mainly superoxide, may promote endothelial dysfunction.

Incretins and Preservation of Endothelial Function
Cardiovascular & Hematological Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2012The endothelium is critical for multiple processes occurring on both sides of the vascular wall including regulation of blood flow, maintenance of blood fluidity and control of inflammation. Endothelial dysfunction is an early event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and appears to be a critical determinant of cardiovascular events.
