Endothelial cell-specific loss of eNOS differentially affects endothelial function.
The endothelium maintains and regulates vascular homeostasis mainly by balancing interplay between vasorelaxation and vasoconstriction via regulating Nitric Oxide (NO) availability.

The endothelial barrier in all organ beds allows the free exchange of water, but is restrictive to varying degrees to the transport of solutes such as albumin. For example, in the brain microvessels, the endothelial barrier restricts the transport of protein, whereas in fenestrated and continuous endothelial cells of the renal and lung endothelial ...

Vascular Health in American Football Players: Cardiovascular Risk Increased in Division III Players
Studies report that football players have high blood pressure (BP) and increased cardiovascular risk. There are over 70,000 NCAA football players and 450 Division III schools sponsor football programs, yet limited research exists on vascular health of ...

Isoflavones and endothelial function [PDF]
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.

The endothelium regulates vascular homeostasis by elaborating a variety of paracrine factors that act locally in the blood vessel wall and lumen.1 Under normal conditions, the sum total effect of these endothelial factors is to maintain normal vascular tone, blood fluidity, and limit vascular inflammation and smooth muscle cell proliferation.

Treatment of Periodontitis and Endothelial Function [PDF]
Systemic inflammation may impair vascular function, and epidemiologic data suggest a possible link between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease.We randomly assigned 120 patients with severe periodontitis to community-based periodontal care (59 patients) or intensive periodontal treatment (61). Endothelial function, as assessed by measurement of the

Common conditions predisposing to atherosclerosis, such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, are associated with endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function has largely been assessed as endothelium-dependent vasomotion, at least in part based on the assumption that impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation also reflects the

Seasonal variations in vascular endothelial function and physical activity in men
Vascular endothelial function, which plays an important independent role in the onset of cardiovascular disease, often changes seasonally, with functional deterioration generally occurring during the winter.

Bilirubin and Endothelial Function
Bilirubin is a fundamental metabolic end product of heme degradation. Despite acting as a cytotoxic metabolite at high concentrations, bilirubin at physiological concentrations has antioxidant effects, such as scavenging reactive oxygen species, leading to a decrease in oxidative stress.

MicroRNA miR-378-3p is a novel regulator of endothelial autophagy and function
Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process in which cytoplasmic materials are internalized into an autophagosome that later fuses with a lysosome for their degradation and recycling.
