Elevated Serum Trimethylamine N-Oxide Predicts Impaired Vascular Reactivity in Patients with Hypertension [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground/Objectives: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota-derived metabolite influenced by diet, has been linked to cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction, an early sign of vascular damage, is common in hypertension.

Lipoprotein(a) levels predict endothelial dysfunction in maintenance hemodialysis patients: evidence from vascular reactivity index assessment [PDF]
Renal FailureBackground Patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) present endothelial dysfunction (ED), which is characterized by impaired vasodilation and a pro-inflammatory state. Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) has pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic properties.

Microparticles from patients with metabolic syndrome induce vascular hypo-reactivity via Fas/Fas-ligand pathway in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Microparticles are membrane vesicles with pro-inflammatory properties. Circulating levels of microparticles have previously been found to be elevated in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS).

VASCULAR REACTIVITY AND VEGETATIVE REGULATION IN SMOKING ADOLESCENTS
Российский кардиологический журнал, 2010 Vascular reactivity and heart rate variability (HRV) were assessed in smoking adolescents at rest and during physical stress test. In total, 75 adolescents aged 16-18 years, were examined: 45 smokers and 30 healthy, physically active non-smokers.
