The Gradient of Vascular Permeability
The permeability of the venules of the skin of the mouse greatly exceeds that of the capillaries. A mounting gradient of permeability exists along the further portion of the latter. The significance of these facts is discussed with relation to conditions in human skin. The cutaneous venules are differentiated for several functions besides those ordinarily attributed to them, and must be conside...
متن کاملVascular permeability—the essentials
The vasculature, composed of vessels of different morphology and function, distributes blood to all tissues and maintains physiological tissue homeostasis. In pathologies, the vasculature is often affected by, and engaged in, the disease process. This may result in excessive formation of new, unstable, and hyperpermeable vessels with poor blood flow, which further promotes hypoxia and disease p...
متن کاملInhibition of Vascular Permeability
A B S T R A C T Systemic treatment of rats with captopril (50 mg/kg body wt per os), a specific competitive inhibitor of angiotensin 1-converting enzyme, significantly inhibits vascular permeability changes induced by the intradermal injection of the vasoactive mediators histamine, bradykinin, serotonin, and compound 48/80. This effect of captopril is both doseand time-dependent with '60% inhib...
متن کاملVascular permeability: the flow factor
Vascular permeability: the flow factor R ivers rarely run a smooth course. Blood vessels, just like rivers, have turns, tributaries and other obstacles that create eddies and other irregularities in the fl ow. In vessels, such areas of disturbed fl ow are more permeable and more prone to atherosclerotic plaques. Orr et al. (page 719) now reveal that a matrix protein that is abundant at such sit...
متن کاملAscorbic Acid Improves Vascular Permeability in Experimental-Induced Diabetic Rats
Background: The most devastating manifestations of diabetes mellitus are vascular complications. Although there are many factors involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic vasculopathy, many studies suggest a role for glucose–induced oxidative stress. Studies in animal models, have demonstrated that the administration of antioxidants restores normal endothelial functions. The study was designed t...
