Angiotensin converting enzyme and vascular endothelial growth factor responses to exercise training in claudicants: the role of ace inhibition

, 2009
Exercise training is well recognised as an effective treatment for intermittent claudication. The mechanism underlying exercise induced improvements is multi-factorial but remains poorly understood.

Angiotensin II induces soluble fms-Like tyrosine kinase-1 release via calcineurin signaling pathway in pregnancy [PDF]

, 2007
Maternal endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia is associated with increased soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a circulating antagonist of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor.

Angiogenesis-dependent and independent phases of intimal hyperplasia.

, 2004
BACKGROUND: Neointimal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is a primary cause of occlusive vascular disease, including atherosclerosis, restenosis after percutaneous interventions, and bypass graft stenosis. Angiogenesis is implicated in the

Structural and functional analysis of the heparin-binding domain of VEGF164.

, 2006
Several of the multitude of functions attributed to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) are coordinated by its various isoforms, which are generated as a result of alternative splicing from a single gene. Despite the fact that the VEGF isoforms

Endothelial cell impact on smooth muscle cell properties: role of hemodynamic forces [PDF]

, 2009
The vascular endothelium is a dynamic cell monolayer located at the interface of the vessel wall and bloodstream, where it regulates the physiological effects of humoral and hemodynamic stimuli on vessel tone and remodelling.

Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors in male fertility

, 1999
Objective: To determine the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor in the seminal fluid, the presence of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors Flt-1 and KDR in spermatozoa, and the predictive value of seminal vascular endothelial ...

The role of the VirB/VirD4/Bep system in "Bartonella henselae"-triggered vascular proliferation [PDF]

, 2009
Bartonella henselae (Bh) rarely shows any symptoms in its feline reservoir host but is responsible for a number of clinical outcomes during infection of the human incidental host. Bh shares with B. quintana (Bq) and B.

Exploring the Molecular Modalities in the Pathogenesis of Diabetic Kidney Disease with a Focus on the Potential Therapeutic Implications

Biomedicines
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease worldwide, affecting approximately 40% of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 30% of those with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). As the prevalence

Defenders and Challengers of Endothelial Barrier Function

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Regulated vascular permeability is an essential feature of normal physiology and its dysfunction is associated with major human diseases ranging from cancer to inflammation and ischemic heart diseases. Integrity of endothelial cells also play a prominent

Growth Differentiation Factor 6 Promotes Vascular Stability by Restraining Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Signaling

, 2018
The assembly of a functional vascular system requires a coordinated and dynamic transition from activation to maturation. High vascular endothelial growth factor activity promotes activation, including junction destabilization and cell motility ...
