Endothelial progenitor cells and burn injury – exploring the relationship

Effect of two different intensity of physical activity on circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in healthy young women

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two different intensities of physical activity on circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in healthy young women. For this purpose, 15 female students from volunteers were randomly selected via questionnaire (group 1: mean age 22 ±1/8 years, BMI 20/81±1/91 kg/m2, n = 8. group 2: mean age 21 ±1/5 years, BMI 20/38 ± 1/66 kg/m2, ...

Simultaneous Effect of Resistance Training and Endothelial Progenitor Cell Injection on the Expression of Vegf Angiogenic Factor and Its Relationship with Insulin Resistance in Diabetic Male Rats Induced By Stz

Background: Exercise and the simultaneous use of progenitor cells is a new strategy aimed for reducing diabetic disorders. One of the known mechanisms is angiogenic disorders caused by diabetes. Therefore, the present study was performed to determine the simultaneous effect of resistance training with endothelial progenitor cell injection on the expression of angiogenic factors in the skeletal ...

Effect of 8-week resistance training on HIF-1α gene expression and Endothelial Progenitor Cells recall of blood after one session of resistance activity in elderly men

Abstract Background and Objectives Dysfunction of endothelial cells is associated with the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Adult endothelial progenitor cells are derived from hematopoietic stem cells capable of forming new blood vessels through a process of angiogenesis. This study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on HIF-1α gene expression and rec...

Endothelial Progenitor Cell Dysfunction in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications for The Genesis of Cardiovascular Diseases

Effect of Scurrula atropurpurea on nitric oxide, endothelial damage, and endothelial progenitor cells of DOCA-salt hypertensive rats

Objective(s):To know whether Scurrula atropurpurea is able to modulate total plasma nitrate/nitrite levels, decrease endothelial damage, and increase endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in hypertensive rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided in 5 groups: control (normotensive) group, Desoxy cortico sterone (DOCA)-salt hypertensive group, and three DOCA-salt hypertensive groups. All 5...
