Circulating endothelial progenitor cells exhibit diurnal variation.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are circulating bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells that have the potential to promote postnatal neovascularization and endothelial repair.1 Reduced numbers of EPCs have been demonstrated in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and those with cardiac risk factors including smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and increasing age.2...
متن کاملCirculating Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Cerebrovascular Disease
Stroke is associated with high disability and mortality burdens worldwide, but there are few effective and widely available therapies. There is therefore a need to develop treatments that promote the repair and regeneration of ischemic brain tissue. In this regard, a population of adult stem cells-called endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)-has been identified in peripheral blood that could prov...
متن کاملCirculating endothelial progenitor cells in malignant gliomas.
OBJECT Recent experimental work suggests that circulating endothelial progenitor cells (cEPCs) are recruited to the angiogenic vascular system of malignant gliomas. Consequently, the level of cEPCs has been proposed as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis and monitoring of these lesions. The aim of the present study was to examine the level of cEPCs and the level of EPC mobilizing mediators in t...
متن کاملHuman endothelial progenitor cells.
Human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been generally defined as circulating cells that express a variety of cell surface markers similar to those expressed by vascular endothelial cells, adhere to endothelium at sites of hypoxia/ischemia, and participate in new vessel formation. Although no specific marker for an EPC has been identified, a panel of markers has been consistently used as...
متن کاملEffect 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, ...
