Circulation, 2005 A growing body of evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular events. Endothelial dysfunction can be regarded as a syndrome that exhibits systemic manifestations associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The concept of endothelial dysfunction should be extended beyond the conduit vessels into the vascular

Vascular Health in American Football Players: Cardiovascular Risk Increased in Division III Players
International Journal of Vascular Medicine, 2016 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]
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.

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2002 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]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2007 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

Circulation, 2004 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
Journal of Men's Health, 2022 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.

MicroRNA miR-378-3p is a novel regulator of endothelial autophagy and function
Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology Plus, 2023 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.

Bilirubin and Endothelial Function
Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2019 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.
