Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Microvascular Permeability

Microcirculation, 1999
ABSTRACTVascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are endogenously produced vascular cytokines which result in angiogenesis, vasodilatation, and increased microvascular permeabilityin vivo. They are endothelial specific and result in mitosis, migration, stress fiber formation and increased permeability of endothelial cells in culture.

Vascular endothelial growth factors and progression of periodontal diseases.

The Journal of Periodontology, 1999
BACKGROUND Tissues become hemorrhagic and edematous coincident to periodontal diseases; however, there is little information concerning the biologic mechanisms which may produce these changes.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Cervical Carcinoma

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1999
To quantitate vascular endothelial growth factor of cervical carcinoma and elucidate its clinical correlation.Intratumoral protein levels of vascular endothelial growth factor were measured in 104 cervical cancer patients and in 30 cervical tissue specimens of benign gynecologic diseases as controls. The concentrations were correlated with clinical and

Vascular endothelial cadherin and vascular endothelial growth factor in periodontitis and smoking

Oral Diseases, 2014
ObjectiveThis study investigated the vascularization in periodontal disease process via revealing: (i) vascular endothelial cadherin (VE‐cadherin) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) productions in periodontitis and (ii) the impact of smoking on this phenomenon.Materials and MethodsFifteen smokers and 15 non‐smokers with/without periodontitis

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

2003
The striking structural and anatomical parallels between the vasculature and the nervous system is reflected by the fact that these two organ systems appear to use related mechanisms during their development. Thus, it is not surprising that an increasing number of vascular biologists and researchers in the neuroscience field are fascinated by molecules

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and its Receptors

Retina, 1994
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a highly specific mitogen for vascular endothelial cells and an angiogenic factor that is structurally related to platelet derived growth factor (PDGF). It is also known as the vascular permeability factor (VPF) because it efficiently potentiates the permeabilization of blood vessels. Five types of VEGF mRNA

Effects of Finasteride on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 2002
Finasteride has been shown to reduce prostate bleeding in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The mechanisms behind this are not known, but it has been suggested that finasteride reduces bleeding by inhibiting angiogenesis in the prostate. Studies in animals have shown that castration rapidly induces involution of the prostate vasculature,

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A in Intraocular Vascular Disease

Ophthalmology, 2013
The vascular beds supplying the retina may sustain injury as a result of underlying disease such as diabetes, and/or the interaction of genetic predisposition, environmental insults, and age. The vascular pathologic features observed in different intraocular vascular diseases can be categorized broadly as proliferation, exemplified by proliferative ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Signaling in Tumour Vascularization: Potential and Challenges.

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2017
Angiogenesis is defined as the physiological process by which new blood vessels develop from pre-existing vessels; either by sprouting or intussusception.

Hypertension and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors

2015
The members of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) are the principal regulators of angiogenesis and vascular biology. The specific growth factor of the endothelial cells is VEGF, which produces nitric oxide (NO) from endothelial cells causing vasodilation.
