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 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 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...
متن کاملPhysiology of the endothelium.
In the past, the endothelium was considered to be inert, described as a 'layer of nucleated cellophane', with only non-reactive barrier properties, such as presentation of a non-thrombogenic surface for blood flow and guarding against pro-inflammatory insults. However, it is now becoming clear that endothelial cells actively and reactively participate in haemostasis and immune and inflammatory ...
متن کاملCoxibs and the endothelium.
In this issue of the Journal, Title et al. (1) present the results of the much-awaited randomized double-blind evaluation of rofecoxib on endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). From a cardiovascular standpoint, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors have been the topic of much discussion, debate, and trepidation (2–5). Mechanistically, the concern about the use of the...
