Background: Patients with treatment-resistant hypertension have a worse cardiovascular prognosis compared to those who achieve their target levels of blood pressure (BP). One of biochemical and clinical markers of a decreased response to antihypertensive

The mechanism by which hyperuricemia induced-endothelial dysfunction contributes to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is not yet fully understood. In the present study, we used uric acid (UA) to trigger endothelial dysfunction in cultured endothelial cells,

Molecular mechanisms underlying pharmacological stimulation of eNOS expression and eNOS activity
Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) generated by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is a key regulator of endothelial function. Vascular NO induces vasodilation, inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion, prevents oxidative modification of LDL cholesterol, limits vascular smooth-muscle-cell proliferation, and decreases the expression of proinflammatory ...

Signal transduction of eNOS activation [PDF]
Consistent with its classification as a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent enzyme the constitutive endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) can be activated by receptor-dependent and -independent agonists as a consequence of an increase in the intracellular concentration of free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and the association of the Ca2+/calmodulin complex with eNOS ...

Sex-specific eNOS activity and function in human endothelial cells
Clinical and epidemiological data show that biological sex is one of the major determinants for the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Upregulation and Activation of eNOS by Resveratrol [PDF]
To the Editor: Wallerath et al1 reported that the stilbene derivative trans-resveratrol, an ingredient of red wine, stimulates acute nitric oxide (NO) release from vascular endothelial cells and induces upregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene expression after 24 to 72 hours incubation.

“Non alcoholic fatty liver disease and eNOS dysfunction in humans”
BackgroundNAFLD is associated to Insulin Resistance (IR). IR is responsible for Endothelial Dysfunction (ED) through the impairment of eNOS function. Although eNOS derangement has been demonstrated in experimental models, no studies have directly shown ...

Effects of resveratrol on eNOS in the endothelium and the perivascular adipose tissue
Under physiological conditions, nitric oxide (NO) is produced in the vasculature mainly by the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS). Experiments using gene‐disrupted mice have demonstrated that eNOS has antihypertensive, antithrombotic, and antiatherosclerotic
