Contribution of Oxidative Stress to Endothelial Dysfunction in Hypertension
Endothelial dysfunction is the hallmark of hypertension, which is a multifactorial disorder. In the cardiovascular system reactive oxygen species play a pivotal role in controlling the endothelial function and vascular tone.

Hydrogen Peroxide Is an Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor in Animals and Humans
Vascular endothelium plays an important role in maintaining vascular homeostasis by synthesizing and releasing several vasodilating factors, such as prostacyclin, nitric oxide (NO), and a yet unidentified endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF).

The NADPH oxidase NOX4 that releases H2O2 can mediate vasoprotective mechanisms under pathophysiological conditions in conductive arteries. However, the role of NOX4 in resistance arteries and in perivascular adipose tissue is not well understood.

ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT VASCULAR REACTIVITY IN DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2
The review presents modern information on the development of disorders of endothelium-dependent vascular reactivity in diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. In type 2 DM, disorders of endothelium-dependent vascular reactivity associated with hyperglycemia and ...

NADPH Oxidase 4: Crucial for Endothelial Function under Hypoxia—Complementing Prostacyclin
Aim: The primary endothelial NADPH oxidase isoform 4 (NOX4) is notably induced during hypoxia, with emerging evidence suggesting its vasoprotective role through H2O2 production. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate NOX4′s significance in endothelial function

Endocardial Endothelium and Cardiac Contractility
Following the observation by Furchgott and Zawadski (1980) about the obligatory role of vascular endothelium in vasomotor tone, several in vitro and in vivo studies provided experimental evidences that cardiac endothelium plays a similar role in ...

Multiple blood-borne pathogens infecting mammals establish close interactions with the host vascular endothelium as part of their life cycles. In this work, we investigate differences in the interactions of three Trypanosoma species: T.

Over the last 40 years, research on the vascular endothelium has provided important clues for the understanding of vascular disease. This new knowledge is finding its way into clinical medicine. In this review we deal with some areas where significant advances in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular research has been achieved and with some of

Endothelin-1 is a key regulator of vascular tone and blood pressure in health and disease. We have recently found that ET-1 production in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) can be promoted by angiotensin II (Ang II) through a novel mechanism ...
