Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be an early change in atherosclerosis. Endocan,
also known as endothelial cell specific molecule-1, is a soluble proteoglycan mainly …

Proteoglycans are a specific subset of glycoproteins found at the cell surface and in the
extracellular matrix, where they interact with a plethora of proteins involved in metabolic …

Background Diabetes is one of the chronic conditions with a high burden all around the
world. Macrovascular and microvascular involvement are among the common mechanisms …

Results Endocan was significantly higher in the T2D group than in the controls. As endocan
concentration rose by 1 unit, the probability for higher HbA 1c concentration increased by …

Epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation may be a molecular mechanism through
which environmental exposures affect health. Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors …

The vascular endothelium is localized at the interface between the blood and surrounding
tissues, playing a pivotal role in the maintenance of tissue-fluid homeostasis and in the …

Background Proinflammatory conditions induced by circulating factors in diabetes play a
pivotal role in endothelial dysfunction and related vascular complications. Endothelial cell …

Thrombotic and embolic complications in the cardiovascular system are evident and
associated with worse prognosis in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients …

We investigated the relationship of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and high-sensitivity C-
reactive protein (hsCRP) levels with direct (endocan) and indirect (carotid intima–media …

Since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, several biomarkers
