The Glomerular Endothelium Restricts Albumin Filtration

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
Inflammatory activation and/or dysfunction of the glomerular endothelium triggers proteinuria in many systemic and localized vascular disorders. Among them are the thrombotic microangiopathies, many forms of glomerulonephritis, and acute inflammatory ...

On Top of the Alveolar Epithelium: Surfactant and the Glycocalyx [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Gas exchange in the lung takes place via the air-blood barrier in the septal walls of alveoli. The tissue elements that oxygen molecules have to cross are the alveolar epithelium, the interstitium and the capillary endothelium.

Role of albumin in the preservation of endothelial glycocalyx integrity and the microcirculation: a review

open access: yesAnnals of Intensive Care, 2020
The endothelial glycocalyx comprises a complex layer of membrane-bound proteoglycans, secreted glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins, glycolipids and bound plasma proteins such as albumin and antithrombin associated with the endothelial surface.

Endothelial Damage and the Microcirculation in Critical Illness

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Endothelial integrity maintains microcirculatory flow and tissue oxygen delivery. The endothelial glycocalyx is involved in cell signalling, coagulation and inflammation.

Protectin conjugates in tissue regeneration 1 restores lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary endothelial glycocalyx loss via ALX/SIRT1/NF-kappa B axis

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2021
Background Endothelial glycocalyx loss is integral to increased pulmonary vascular permeability in sepsis-related acute lung injury. Protectin conjugates in tissue regeneration 1 (PCTR1) is a novel macrophage-derived lipid mediator exhibiting potential ...

Alterations in heparan sulfate proteoglycan synthesis and sulfation and the impact on vascular endothelial function

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2022
The glycocalyx attached to the apical surface of vascular endothelial cells is a rich network of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins with instrumental roles in vascular homeostasis.

Assessment of pulmonary edema: principles and practice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pulmonary edema increasingly is recognized as a perioperative complication affecting outcome. Several risk factors have been identified, including those of cardiogenic origin, such as heart failure or excessive fluid administration, and those related to ...
