Endothelin-1 and antiangiogenesis [PDF]
Antiangiogenesis, targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has become a well-established treatment for patients with cancer. This treatment is associated with nitric oxide (NO) suppression and a dose-dependent activation of the endothelin system, resulting in preeclampsia-like features, particularly hypertension and renal injury. Studies in

Circulating Levels of Endothelin-1 and Big Endothelin-1 in Patients with Essential Hypertension [PDF]
The role of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the pathogenesis of hypertension (HTN) is not clearly established. There is evidence that its circulating levels are elevated in some forms of experimental and human HTN, but this was not a consistent finding.

Endothelin-1 in Health and Disease
Discovered almost 40 years ago, the potent vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) has a wide range of roles both physiologically and pathologically. In recent years, there has been a focus on the contribution of ET-1 to disease. This has led to the development of various ET receptor antagonists, some of which are approved for the treatment of ...

Endothelin-1 in systemic sclerosis
Introduction: Scleroderma is a systemic disorder with unknown etiology most notably characterized by skin thickening and organ damage. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays a role in skin fibrosis.

Endothelin-1 in systemic sclerosis
We evaluated endothelin-1 (ET-1) plasma levels in patients affected by primary Raynaud’s phenomenon (PRP), as well as in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon (SRP).

Endothelin-1 Role in Human Eye: A Review
Endothelin is a potent vasoactive peptide occurring in three isotypes, ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3. Through its two main receptors, endothelin A and endothelin B, it is responsible for a variety of physiological functions, primarily blood flow control.

Over two decades of research have demonstrated that the peptide hormone endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays multiple, complex roles in cardiovascular, neural, pulmonary, reproductive, and renal physiology. Differential and tissue-specific production of ET-1 must be tightly regulated in order to preserve these biologically diverse actions.

Endothelial dysfunction is considered one of the main mechanisms for the further development of arterial hypertension (AH) and its complications, and endothelin-1 (ЕТ-1) plays one of the key roles in this process.

Endocan, ET-1, and ETAR Expression Profiles in Unicystic Ameloblastoma, Multicystic Ameloblastoma, and Ameloblastic Carcinoma [PDF]
Background: Odontogenic lesions range from simple cysts to benign tumors and carcinomas. Unicystic ameloblastoma is a monocystic lesion and a less aggressive tumor compared to multicystic ameloblastoma.
