Far from simply lining the inner surface of blood vessels, the cellular monolayer that
comprises the endothelium is a highly active organ that regulates vascular tone. In health …

Endothelial cells release both relaxing and contracting factors that modulate vascular
smooth muscle tone and also participate in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension …

Endothelium-derived nitric oxide is not only a potent vasodilator but also inhibits platelet
aggregation, smooth muscle cell proliferation, monocyte adhesion and adhesion molecule …

The vascular endothelium synthesizes and releases a spectrum of vasoactive substances
like nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET). In hypertension, the delicate balance of …

Endothelial cells are known to have important regulatory effects on the cardiovascular
system through the release of vasodilator and vasoconstrictor factors [1]. In small arteries …

In the last decade, significant advances have occurred in our understanding of the presence
