Digital vascular responses and serum endothelin-1 concentrations in primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon.
OBJECTIVE To determine circulating endothelin-1 levels (ET-1) in patients with primary or secondary associated Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) under resting conditions and in response to cold provocation. METHODS Patients were categorised as primary RP (18) or scleroderma associated RP (14). Finger blood flow was measured by venous occlusion plethysmography at finger temperatures of 32 degrees C an...
متن کاملIncreased asymmetric dimethylarginine and endothelin 1 levels in secondary Raynaud's phenomenon: implications for vascular dysfunction and progression of disease.
OBJECTIVE To compare microvascular and macrovascular functions in a cohort of patients with primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) who were matched for demographic, risk factor, and severity profiles. METHODS Forty patients with primary or secondary RP matched for vascular risk factors and severity scores underwent testing of endothelial function and cold pressor responsiveness of th...
متن کاملthe association between clinical symptoms, laboratory findings and serum endothelin 1 concentrations, in cirrhotic patients with and without hepatopulmonary syndrome
aim : this study evaluated the association between serum endothelin- 1 level and symptoms, clinical examination, laboratory and cardio-respiratory parameters, in patients with cirrhosis compared to controls. background : cirrhosis is associated with significant portal, pulmonary and systemic vascular abnormities. recent studies have suggested that endothelin -1 may have a significant role in th...
متن کاملVascular responses to endothelin-1 in atherosclerotic primates.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a vasoactive peptide that is released by endothelial cells. This study was performed to determine whether vascular responses to ET-1 are altered by atherosclerosis. ET-1 (1 or 10 nmol) was injected intra-arterially into the perfused hind limb of normal cynomolgus monkeys and monkeys fed an atherogenic diet for 19 months. We calculated the resistance of the total limb and ...
