Endothelial dysfunction: does it matter? Is it reversible?
Until recently, the endothelium was regarded as a relatively inert cell layer. However, over the past 20 years, research has revealed an extraordinary array of endothelial functions, including control over coagulation, fibrinolysis, arterial tone and vascular growth. Importantly, endothelial dysfunction has been implicated as a key event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, coronary vasocons...
متن کاملNeuropsychiatric Disorders in Cushings Syndrome
Glucocorticoids are crucial in the initiation and consolidation of the stress response. Patients with active Cushing’s syndrome (CS) are exposed to excessive endogenous glucocorticoid levels. In these patients, psychopathology is often being observed. The most common co-morbid disorder is major depression, but to a lesser extent mania and anxiety disorders have also been reported. A severe clin...

متن کاملPolycystic ovary syndrome is associated with endothelial dysfunction.
BACKGROUND We recently reported endothelial dysfunction as a novel cardiovascular risk factor associated with insulin resistance/obesity. Here, we tested whether hyperandrogenic insulin-resistant women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who are at increased risk of macrovascular disease display impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation and whether endothelial function in PCOS is associated...
