Aging and the endothelium

Experimental Gerontology, 2004
One link between aging and endothelial function is the inflammatory response. On one hand, the latter shortens the biological engaged by activated leukocytes against invaders or stressing agents. On the other hand, the surveyed tissues become targets of the toxicity of reactive oxygen species, ROS.

Development of the Endothelium

2006
Our understanding of the regulation of vascular development has exploded over the past decade. Prior to this time, our knowledge of vascular development was primarily based on classic descriptive studies. The identification of stem cells, lineage markers, specific growth factors and their receptors, and signalling pathways has facilitated a rapid ...

Restoring the Dysfunctional Endothelium

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2007
Nowadays the endothelium is considered a key determinant of vascular health. NO is the principal mediator of all endothelial protective effects, due to its antiinflammatory, antiproliferative, immunomodulatory and vasorelaxant properties. On the contrary, a growing body of evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular

Save the endothelium

American Intra-Ocular Implant Society Journal, 1978
The health of the corneal endothelium is a critical factor in the final outcome of intraocular surgery . With the advent of intraocular lens implantation, the hazard of inadvertent endothelial trauma is greatly increased. A rigorous technique has been presented which will minimize the risk of such trauma in extracapsular cataract surgery with ...

DIABETES AND THE ENDOTHELIUM

Acta Clinica Belgica, 2007
Abnormal endothelial function plays a pivota role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Due to lack of autoregulation of glucose transport in the presence of high extracellular glucose concentrations, intracellular hyperglycaemia induces a series of metabolic changes that ultimately lead to the genesis of both microvascular complications (the ...

Endothelium and Shock

Pathology - Research and Practice, 1978
The morphology of endothelium is well known from electron-microscopic examination. Aided by new suitable examination methods such as the endothelial culture (Maruyama, 1963; Gimbrone, 1976), the detection of endothelial cells in blood (Herbeuval and Feurot, 1964), and the "Hautchen't-method (Sinapius, 1952; Warren, 1965; Sade and Folkman, 1972; Riese ...

Endothelium and Allotransplantation

Transplantation, 2006
Endothelial cells form the inner lining of blood vessels. The endothelium displays remarkable heterogeneity in structure and function. Phenotypic diversity reflects the ability of the endothelium to meet the demands of the underlying tissue. In addition to their critical role in homeostasis, endothelial cells are affected by, and contribute to, many ...

Endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent skin vasoreactivity in the elderly

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2002
It was demonstrated that endothelium-dependent vasoreactivity, an aspect of endothelial functioning, is impaired in coronary and brachial arteries, and in skeletal muscle resistance vessels of elderly people. However, little data is available about the influence of aging per se on the endothelial function of the skin microcirculation.

The endothelium in atherogenesis

Lupus, 2000
The focus of this article is an overview of the endothelial changes that initiate and perpetuate the process of atherogenesis. The endothelium can undergo a series of changes which allow it to participate in the inflammatory response; this is known as endothelial cell activation (ECA).
