G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 and endothelial dysfunction: molecular insights and pathophysiological mechanisms
Smooth muscle cells (SMC) and endothelial cells are the major cell types in blood vessels. The principal function of vascular SMC in the body is to regulate blood flow and pressure through contraction and relaxation. The endothelium performs a crucial role in maintaining vascular integrity by achieving whole-organ metabolic homeostasis via the production of factors associated with vasoconstrict...

probiotics are live microbial feed supplement and can provide health benefit to the host if administered in sufficient amounts. the most predominant species that have been used as probiotic include lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. proper administration of probiotics could be efficient in the treatment of various disorders. however; their mechanism of action is poorly understood. the effects of ...
متن کاملReciprocal relationships between insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction: molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms.
Endothelial dysfunction contributes to cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease, which are also characterized by insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a hallmark of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, which are also characterized by endothelial dysfunction. Metabolic actions of insulin to promote glucose d...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular and endocrine-metabolic diseases: an update.
The endothelium plays a vital role in maintaining circulatory homeostasis by the release of relaxing and contracting factors. Any change in this balance may result in a process known as endothelial dysfunction that leads to impaired control of vascular tone and contributes to the pathogenesis of some cardiovascular and endocrine/metabolic diseases. Reduced endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) ...
متن کاملChildhood origins of endothelial dysfunction.
A therosclerosis is a chronic vascular inflammatory disease, characterised by lipid accumulation, and cellular infiltration and proliferation in the arterial wall. Vascular endothelial dysfunction plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of the atherosclerotic process; the development of techniques that allow detection of endothelial function and early structural vascular disease...
