Redox Biology, 2017 Tobacco smoking and hemodynamic forces are key stimuli in the development of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. High laminar flow has an atheroprotective effect on the endothelium and leads to a reduced response of endothelial cells to ...

Nanomechanics of vascular endothelium [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 2014 The mechanical characteristics of endothelial cells reveal four distinct compartments, namely glycocalyx, cell cortex, cytoplasm and nucleus. There is accumulating evidence that endothelial nanomechanics of these individual compartments control vascular physiology.

Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Factor–Mediated Vasodilation in Mouse Mesenteric Vascular Beds
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 The endothelium in rat mesenteric vascular beds has been demonstrated to regulate vascular tone by releasing mainly endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), which is involved in the activation of K+ channels and gap-junctions.

Organ-Specific Endothelial Dysfunction Following Total Body Irradiation Exposure
Toxics, 2022 As the single cell lining of the heart and all blood vessels, the vascular endothelium serves a critical role in maintaining homeostasis via control of vascular tone, immune cell recruitment, and macromolecular transit.

Vascular endothelium in diabetes [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2017 Three decades ago a revolutionary idea was born that ascribed to dysfunctional endothelia some manifestations of diabetes, the Steno hypothesis, so named after the Steno Diabetes Center, Gentofte, in Denmark. Here I briefly outline the accomplishments accrued in the past 15 years to buttress this hypothesis.

Contribution of Oxidative Stress to Endothelial Dysfunction in Hypertension
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 Endothelial dysfunction is the hallmark of hypertension, which is a multifactorial disorder. In the cardiovascular system reactive oxygen species play a pivotal role in controlling the endothelial function and vascular tone.
