Background: The endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is the carbohydrate-rich luminal lining of
endothelial cells that mediates permeability and blood cell-vessel wall interactions. To …

Endothelial glycocalyx coats healthy vascular endothelium and plays an important role in
vascular homeostasis. Although cerebral capillaries are categorized as continuous, as are …

Purpose: Preeclampsia, in which insufficient trophoblastic invasion is thought to be one of
the underlying mechanisms, is a common pregnancy disorder. Glycodelin is a regulator of …

Objective The pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) is known to be endothelial cell damage;
however, the existence of dysfunction in glomerular endothelial glycocalyx, podocytes and …

Impaired placento-fetal communication is a coherent symptom of exaggerated pre-
eclampsia. The impact of the cellular expression of different glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in …

The endothelial glycocalyx is critically involved in vascular integrity and homeostasis, by
regulating vascular permeability, regulating mechanotransduction, and reducing …

Located on the luminal surface of vascular endothelial cells, the glycocalyx is composed of a
negatively charged mesh of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins and …

BACKGROUND: The onset of many disease processes depends on the function of the
endothelial cell (EC) glycocalyx (GCX) which acts as a flow-dependent barrier to cellular …

A healthy vascular endothelium is coated by a variety of transmembrane and membrane-
bound molecules which, together, constitute the endothelial glycocalyx. The principal …

Abstract Introduction Galectin 2 (gal-2) belongs to the proto type group and consists of two
homologous carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) resulting in multiple sugar binding …
