The microcirculation, comprised of less than 100 μm–diameter arterioles, capillary beds, and
draining venules, performs essential homeostatic functions, including oxygen delivery and …

The endothelial glycocalyx is increasingly considered as an intravascular compartment that
protects the vessel wall against pathogenic insults. The purpose of this study was to …

The endothelial cell (EC) surface is coated with a layer of polysaccharides linked to
membrane-bound and trans-membrane proteoglycans that comprise the glycocalyx, which …

BACKGROUND Endothelial glycocalyx (EG) plays an essential role in endothelium integrity
and may be compromised by hemorrhagic shock. The effects of currently available …

The impact of the glycocalyx on microcirculatory oxygen dist... : Current Opinion in
Anesthesiology The impact of the glycocalyx on microcirculatory oxygen distribution in critical …

The vascular endothelium is crucial for the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. Moreover,
in sepsis, endothelial cells can acquire new properties and actively participate in the host's …

Age-related microvascular dysfunction is well characterized in rodents and humans, but little
is known about the properties of the microvascular endothelial glycocalyx in advanced age …

Peritubular capillary (PTC) rarefaction is commonly detected in chronic kidney disease
(CKD) such as hypertensive nephrosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy. Moreover, PTC …

OBJECTIVE: Inflammatory stimuli profoundly increase the vulnerability of the vessel wall to
atherogenesis. The endothelial glycocalyx, a layer of glycosaminoglycans and …

Abnormal microvascular perfusion, including decreased functional capillary density and
increased blood flow heterogeneity, is observed in early stages of the systemic inflammatory …
