Effects of stereoisomers of thioctic acid on rat renal vasculature microanatomy [PDF]
Metabolism of oxygen by cells can generate potentially dangerous reactive oxygen species (ROS). Endothelial cells lining vascular luminal surface are an important site of signalling molecules and a ROS target during ischemia, inflammation and other ...

Endothelial expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 is suppressed by postbypass plasma containing increased soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 [PDF]
Endothelial cell dysfunction has been implicated in the inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass, and the upregulation of endothelial cell expression of adhesion molecules might promote leukocyte extravasation in vivo. Soluble endothelial cell adhesion molecules are increased after bypass.

Adiponectin improves coronary no-reflow injury by protecting the endothelium in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
To determine the effect of adiponectin (APN) on the coronary no-reflow (NR) injury in rats with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-sugar-high-fat diet to build a T2DM model.

Immunomodulatory effects of 17-O-acetylacuminolide in RAW264.7 cells and HUVECs : involvement of MAPK and NF-κB pathways [PDF]
The terpenoid 17-O-acetylacuminolide (AA) was shown to inhibit the production of several inflammatory mediators. However, the mechanisms by which this compound elicited its anti-inflammatory activity remain to be elucidated.
