Vascular Stiffness in Insulin Resistance and Obesity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are associated with a substantially increased prevalence of vascular fibrosis and stiffness, with attendant increased risk of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease.

Vascular Aging and Arterial Stiffness
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2017 Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) account annually for almost one third of all deaths worldwide. Among the CVD, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is related to more than half of those outcomes.

Arterial stiffness and vascular aging: mechanisms, prevention, and therapy
Signal Transduction and Targeted TherapyCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The central underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases are vascular aging and associated arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness is characterized by structural (e.g.,

Vascular stiffness and diastolic heart failure
Терапевтический архив, 2013 Vascular stiffness is regarded as a result of degenerative processes potentiated by aging, hypertension, and other risk factors. Central hemodynamic changes are one of the serious sequels of high arterial stiffness, which gives rise to a chain of events ...

Targeting Vascular Stiffness. [PDF]
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc BiolArtery stiffening, a biomechanical vascular property closely related to but separate from hypertension, is a strong and independent cardiovascular disease risk factor that also predicts end-organ failure. Decreased aortic compliance elevates the mechanical load on the myocardium, increases peripheral pulse pressure which damages high-flow organs ...

Association of the human gut microbiota with vascular stiffness. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 AbstractGut microbiota metabolites have been mechanistically linked to inflammatory pathway activation and atherosclerosis, which are major causes of vascular stiffness (VS). Aiming to investigate if the gut microbiome might be involved in VS development, we performed a cross-sectional study (n = 3,087), nested within the population-based European ...

Substrate stiffness directs diverging vascular fates [PDF]
Acta Biomaterialia, 2019 Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are excellent cell culture systems for elucidating developmental signals that may be part of the stem cell niche. Although stem cells are traditionally induced using predominately soluble signals, the mechanical environment of the niche can also play a role in directing cells towards differential cell lineages.

Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Aging: Effects of Hypertension
Архивъ внутренней медицины, 2021 This review highlights the relationship of age and arterial hypertension observed in the aging process. The main structural and functional changes underlying the increase in vascular stiffness are analyzed. The similarity of vascular changes in aging and

Exercise, Vascular Stiffness, and Tissue Transglutaminase [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association, 2014 Background Vascular aging is closely associated with increased vascular stiffness. It has recently been demonstrated that decreased nitric oxide ( NO )‐induced S‐nitrosylation of tissue transglutaminase ( TG 2) contributes to age‐related vascular stiffness ...
