Endothelium.
Endothelial cells form a subtle monolayer covering the inner surface of the vascular tree. This unique localization allows them to integrate physical and neurohumoral signals from the blood and surrounding tissues to regulate vascular tone, cellular adhesion, inflammation, smooth muscle phenotype and proliferation as well as thromboresistance. Alterations of endothelial atheroprotective functio...
متن کاملLymphatic endothelium
The lymphatic microvasculature is uniquely adapted for the continuous removal of interstitial fluid and proteins, and is an important point of entry for leukocytes and tumor cells. The traditional view that lymphatic capillaries are passive participants in these tasks is currently being challenged. This overview highlights recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underly...
متن کاملGender and the endothelium.
The understanding of the basis of gender differences in vascular function is of critical importance to establish gender targeted interventions in cardiovascular medicine. In this review we concentrate on the central role of the endothelium in respect to gender differences in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. The role of estrogen and its receptors is introduced not only as key playe...
متن کاملEndothelium-derived contracting factors.
The endothelium not only mediates relaxation but is a source of contracting factors. Endothelium-dependent contractions are elicited by physical and chemical stimuli (i.e., hypoxia, pressure, and stretch) and autacoids, local and circulating hormones. The mechanism of endothelium-dependent contractions to hypoxia involves withdrawal of nitric oxide. The endothelial cyclooxygenase pathway can pr...
متن کاملTargeting the Endothelium
The endothelium is an active organ with paracrine-endocrine capabilities that directs a multitude of physiological actions both locally and remotely. Cardiac arrest and resuscitation is a model of whole body ischemia reperfusion injury, interventions that have their basis in cytoprotection, reduction of the inflammatory cascade, fibrinolysis and improvement of microvasculature blood flow target...
