Endothelial dysfunction: a comprehensive appraisal
The endothelium is a thin monocelular layer that covers all the inner surface of the blood vessels, separating the circulating blood from the tissues. It is not an inactive organ, quite the opposite.

Microvascular function is impaired in ankylosing spondylitis and improves after tumour necrosis factor a blockade [PDF]
Objectives: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Microvascular function has been linked to several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Inflammation in AS may cause microvascular dysfunction.

Vascular effects of urocortins 2 and 3 in healthy volunteers [PDF]
Background: Urocortin 2 and urocortin 3 are endogenous peptides with an emerging role in cardiovascular pathophysiology. We assessed their pharmacodynamic profile and examined the role of the endothelium in mediating their vasomotor effects in vivo in ...

Augmentation Effect of Certain Vasodilators on Skin Flap Viability—An Experimental Study
The effect of some drugs, inducing vasodilatation, was noted on skin flap survival in rats, 6-hydroxydopamine, which induces chemical sympathectomy, produced marked survival of the flaps.

Sympathetic vasodilatation in human skin
In the decades preceding and following the Second World War, knowledge about the human peripheral circulation increased rapidly. A number of factors contributed. One was the increasing interest in the field and the analytical techniques used initially by Sir Thomas Lewis at the Department of Medicine, University College London, and spread by some of ...

Effects of Intrauterine Isoproterenol Administration on Ovarian Follicular Development in Cows
Background Isoproterenol (ISO) is a nonselective beta‐adrenergic receptor agonist known for its vasodilatory effects. This experiment aims to investigate whether intrauterine ISO administration could alter vascular indices and follicular development in ...
