Growth control in capillary endothelium.
The phenomenon of angiogenesis depends upon several biological processes including enzymatic degradation of matrix, chemotaxis, lumen formation, tissue remodeling, and matrix control of differentiation. These processes are expressed in a sequential order during the growth of a capillary and during its regression. Capillary endothelial cells and endothelial cells of embryonic and fetal origin ha...
متن کاملTranscytosis of albumin in capillary endothelium
We have used a variety of immunocytochemical procedures to localize albumin in transit through the capillary endothelium of the murine myocardium and thereby identify endothelial cell structures involved in albumin efflux. The most informative results were obtained with a protocol that included (a) removal of endogenous albumin by perfusion of the heart with PBS supplemented with 14 mM glucose,...
متن کاملElectrical resistance of a capillary endothelium
The electrical resistance of consecutive segments of capillaries has been determined by a method in which the microvessels were treated as a leaky, infinite cable. A two-dimensional analytical model to describe the potential field in response to intracapillary current injection was formulated. The model allowed determination of the electrical resistance from four sets of data: the capillary rad...
متن کاملVascular wall growth control: the role of the endothelium.
The current state of our knowledge of the control of endothelial growth and the role of endothelial injury in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis can be summarized as follows: 1. Endothelial cells can be grown in plasma-derived serum in the absence of exogenous growth factors. This is quite different from the growth requirements of most other nontransformed cells. These factors may, however, pr...
متن کاملPulmonary capillary endothelium-bound angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in humans.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary endothelium has metabolic functions including the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II by angiotensin-converting ectoenzyme (ACE). In this study, we have validated an indicator-dilution technique that provides estimations of dynamically perfused capillary surface area (DPCSA) in humans, and we have characterized pulmonary endothelial ACE in vivo. METHODS AND RESU...
