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 …

Endothelial dysfunction is a key event in cardiovascular disease. Measurement of
endothelial dysfunction in vivo presents a major challenge, but has important implications …

BACKGROUND: Elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and its
oxidative modification have been described to be involved in the process of atherogenesis …

Pre-eclamptic toxaemia (PET) may be associated with both endothelial dysfunction (ED) and
sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). It was hypothesised that females with PET would …

The vascular endothelium plays a crucial role in the regulation of vascular homeostasis and
in preventing the initiation and progress of cardiovascular disease by controlling mechanical …

Endothelial dysfunction is a key event in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases
and appears as a strong independent predictor of cardiovascular events. In this context …

To capture the response of an acute intervention, multiple post intervention measurements
of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) must be performed. The effect of repetitive reactive …

Background: Exogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism, caused by long-term thyrotropin (TSH)-
suppressive treatment with levothyroxine (LT4), is associated with several cardiovascular …

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is regulated by multiple mechanisms including
Ca2+/calmodulin binding, protein-protein interactions, phosphorylation, and subcellular …

Angiogenesis is critical to the growth and regeneration of tissue but is also a key component
of tumor growth and chronic inflammatory disorders. Endoglin plays a key role in …
