The artificial endothelium [PDF]
As the world of critical care medicine advances, extracorporeal therapies (ECC) have become commonplace in the management of the high risk intensive care patient. ECC encompasses a wide variety of technologies from hemodialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and plasmapheresis, to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), extracorporeal life support (

The Endothelium in Acromegaly [PDF]
Growth hormone (GH) and insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) excess induce well-known deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system, especially after long-term exposition. Acromegaly, a condition of chronic GH and IGF-1 hypersecretion, is frequently associated to cardiovascular complications, although recent studies have shown a reduction in the ...

Involvement of endothelium-derived relaxing factor in the pressure control of renin secretion from isolated perfused kidney [PDF]
Using isolated rat kidneys perfused at controlled pressure, we examined a potential role of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) in the pressure control of renin secretion.

Effects of prior moderate exercise on postprandial metabolism and vascular function in lean and centrally obese men [PDF]
Objectives: We investigated whether a session of prior exercise could ameliorate postprandial endothelial dysfunction. Background: Endothelial function is impaired after fat ingestion, and this may be related to rises in triglyceride concentrations.

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 ...

Impact of low birth weight and cardiovascular risk factors on endothelial function in early adult life [PDF]
Background: Low birth weight is related to increased risk of coronary heart disease in adults and recently has been associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction in children.

Tetrahydrobiopterin analogues with NO-dependent pulmonary vasodilator properties [PDF]
Reduced NO levels due to the deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) contribute to impaired vasodilation in pulmonary hypertension Due to the chemically unstable nature of BH4 it was hypothesised that oxidatively stable analogues of BR, would be able to ...

Endothelial cells modulate renin secretion from isolated mouse juxtaglomerular cells [PDF]
Utilizing cocultures of mouse renal juxtaglomerular cells with bovine microvascular endothelial cells, we have examined whether endothelial cells exert direct influence on renin secretion from renal juxtaglomerular cells.

MAPK phosphatase-1 represents a novel antiinflammatory target of glucocorticoids in the human endothelium [PDF]
Glucocorticoids are well-established anti- inflammatory drugs thought to mainly act by inhibition of proinflammatory transcription factors like NF-κB.
