Sepsis is defined as a life‐threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host
response to infection. The endothelial glycocalyx is one of the earliest sites involved during …

The vascular endothelial surface is coated by the glycocalyx, a ubiquitous gel‐like layer
composed of a membrane‐binding domain that contains proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycan …

The glycocalyx is a ubiquitous structure found on endothelial cells that extends into the
vascular lumen. It is enriched in proteoglycans, which are proteins attached to the …

The purpose of this manuscript is to review the role of endothelial glycocalyx (EG) in the field
of critical and perioperative medicine and to discuss possible future directions for …

Along with the recognition of a crucial role played by endothelial dysfunction secondarily
igniting cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal complications, investigational focus has …

The endothelial glycocalyx is a gel-like layer on the luminal side of blood vessels that is
composed of glycosaminoglycans and the proteins that tether them to the plasma …

Microcirculatory alterations play an important role in the early phase of sepsis. Shedding of
the endothelial glycocalyx is regarded as a central pathophysiological mechanism causing …

Objective: The endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) is a dynamic and multicomponent layer of
macromolecules found at the surface of vascular endothelium, which is largely …

Objective To conduct a narrative review of the current literature in reference to the structure
and function of the endothelial glycocalyx (EG) and its contribution to the pathophysiology of …

Endothelial cells line the inner portion of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; a
basal membrane of extracellular matrix lines the extraluminal side of endothelial cells. The …
