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.

Effects of ouabain on vascular reactivity [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 Ouabain is an endogenous substance occurring in the plasma in the nanomolar range, that has been proposed to increase vascular resistance and induce hypertension. This substance acts on the a-subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase inhibiting the Na+-pump activity.

Cerebral Vascular Reactivity in Frail Older Adults with Vascular Cognitive Impairment
Brain Sciences, 2019 Background: Frailty, a state of increased vulnerability, could play a role in the progression of vascular dementia. We aim to describe the changes in cerebrovascular reactivity of older adults with frailty and vascular-type mild cognitive impairment ...
