Malaria and Vascular Endothelium
Involvement of the cardiovascular system in patients with infectious and parasitic diseases can result from both intrinsic mechanisms of the disease and drug intervention. Malaria is an example, considering that the endothelial injury by Plasmodium-infected erythrocytes can cause circulatory disorders. This is a literature review aimed at discussing the relationship between malaria and endothel...
متن کاملEndothelium Aging and Vascular Diseases
Aging is a biological process that causes a progressive deterioration of structure and func‐ tion of all organs over the time [1]. According to the United Nation’s report, the number of people aged 60 and over in the world has increased from 8% (200 million) in 1950 to 11% (760 million) in 2005, and it is estimated that this number will further increase to 22% (2 bil‐ lion) in 2050. It is expec...
متن کاملVascular Endothelium-Leukocyte Interaction
To determine the shear force acting on a white blood cell sticking to the endothelium of a blood vessel, the flow field about a single white blood cell in a venule was determined by high-speed motion picture photomicrography. The force acting on the white blood cell was then calculated according to the principles of fluid mechanics. In this paper, the calculation was made using an experimentall...
متن کاملThe Vascular Endothelium in Diabetes
Key Points • The endothelium is a key participant in the homeostasis of the vessel wall. • Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in regulating healthy vascular function. • Reduced local NO bioavailability is a characteristic hallmark of vascular endothelial dysfunction. • Endothelial dysfunction is chiefly driven by oxidative stress and inflammation. • A number of techniques for assessing endothel...
متن کاملEndothelium-dependent Effect of Sesame Seed Feeding on Vascular Reactivity of Streptozotocin-diabetic Rats: Underlying Mechanisms
Cardiovascular disorders continue to constitute major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of sesame (Sesamum indicum L) seed feeding was studied on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Male diabetic rats received sesame seed-mixed food at weight ratios of 3% and 6% for 7 weeks, one week after diabetes in...
