Protection against vascular aging in Nox2-deficient mice: Impact on endothelial progenitor cells and reparative neovascularization.
BACKGROUND Aging is associated with increased oxidative stress levels and impaired neovascularization following ischemia. Because Nox2-containing NADPH oxidase is a major source of ROS in the vasculature, we investigated its potential role for the modulation of ischemia-induced neovascularization in the context of aging. METHODS AND RESULTS Hindlimb ischemia was surgically induced by femoral ...
متن کاملVascular Aging and Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms and Influences
Vascular aging plays an important role in the mortality of the elderly, but vascular aging can be dependent on other factors such as diseases. Various diseases such as Alzheimer, diabetes, thalassemia, and other diseases affect the mechanisms of vascular aging. It will harm the recovery process of these patients. There are methods for measuring vascular aging such as instrumental measurements a...
متن کاملProgenitor cells and age: can we fight aging with exercise? CHANGES IN VASCULAR MORPHOLOGY
CHANGES IN VASCULAR MORPHOLOGY and function with increasing age clearly are significant contributors to age-related increases in cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition, the presence of CVD risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and smoking, have been shown to cause endothelial dysfunction, an early marker of atherosclerosis and CVD. Regular physical activity is not onl...
متن کاملEndothelial Progenitor Cells Enter the Aging Arena
Age is a significant risk factor for the development of vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. Although pharmacological treatments, including statins and anti-hypertensive drugs, have improved the prognosis for patients with cardiovascular disease, it remains a leading cause of mortality in those aged 65 years and over. Furthermore, given the increased life expectancy of the population in ...
متن کاملProgenitor cells in pulmonary vascular remodeling
Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by cellular and structural changes in the walls of pulmonary arteries. Intimal thickening and fibrosis, medial hypertrophy and fibroproliferative changes in the adventitia are commonly observed, as is the extension of smooth muscle into the previously non-muscularized vessels. A majority of these changes are associated with the enhanced presence of α-SM-a...
