Impact of ADMA, endothelial progenitor cells and traditional cardiovascular risk factors on pulse wave velocity among prediabetic individuals
BACKGROUND Central arterial stiffness represents a well-established predictor of cardiovascular disease. Decreased circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), increased asymmetric dimethyl-arginine (ADMA) levels, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and insulin resistance have all been associated with increased arterial stiffness. The correlations of novel and traditional cardiovascular...
متن کاملVitamin D concentrations, endothelial progenitor cells, and cardiovascular risk factors.
Our study aimed to establish the association of vitamin D status with the level of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) and to demonstrate the effect of vitamin D on the level of lipoproteins responsible for increased cardiovascular risk and high blood pressure. 41 healthy adults were selected. EPCs were defined as CD34+/KDR+ cells, and CACs we...
متن کاملEvaluation of circulating endothelial progenitor cells in cardiovascular risk.
ndothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are immature cells that have the capacity to proliferate, migrate, and differentiate into endothelial lineage cells. Embryological research has clarified that embryonic hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and EPCs are derived from a common precursor (ie, hemangioblast) and share many surface marker antigens such as Flk-1 (VEGFR2), Tie-2, c-Kit, Sca-1, AC133 (CD133...
متن کاملEndothelial progenitor cells in cardiovascular disorders.
The important role of the vascular endothelium in cardiovascular health is increasingly recognized. However, mature endothelial cells possess limited regenerative capacity. There is therefore much interest in circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) among the scientific community, especially into their purported role in maintenance of endothelial integrity and function, as well as postna...
متن کاملEndothelial progenitor cells in cardiovascular diseases.
Endothelial dysfunction has been associated with the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Adult endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are derived from hematopoietic stem cells and are capable of forming new blood vessels through a process of vasculogenesis. There are studies which report correlations between circulating EPCs and cardiovascular risk factors. There are also s...
