Rho-associated kinase activity, endothelial function, and cardiovascular risk factors.
OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular diseases are associated with chronic activation of Rho-associated kinases (ROCKs) and endothelial dysfunction. Both increased ROCK activity and endothelial dysfunction are thought to be closely associated with conventional cardiovascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between ROCK activity, endothelial function, and cardiovasc...
متن کاملRho-associated kinase activity is a predictor of cardiovascular outcomes.
Cardiovascular diseases are associated with chronic activation of Rho-associated kinase. Rho-associated kinase activity is significantly correlated with endothelial function and Framingham risk score. However, there is no information on the prognostic value of Rho-associated kinase activity. We evaluated Rho-associated kinase activity in peripheral leukocytes by Western blot analysis in 633 sub...
متن کاملEndothelial function as a functional expression of cardiovascular risk factors.
Traditional cardiovascular risk (CV) factors based on the Framingham study have been used to estimate the risk of CV events and determine target cholesterol levels for primary prevention. Recently published systematic reviews have, however, demonstrated that the Framingham risk score is limited in certain cohorts and requires adjustment. Indeed, traditional CV risk factors fail to predict the d...
متن کاملSmoking, endothelial function, and Rho-kinase in humans.
OBJECTIVE Smoking is associated with endothelial dysfunction and activated Rho-kinase in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in humans. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the relationship between endothelial function and Rho-kinase activity in forearm VSMCs in healthy young men. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the forearm blood flow (FBF) responses to acetylcholine (ACh), fasudil, a...
