Endothelial Lipase: A New Risk Factor for Atherosclerosis?
Background: Receptor-like kinases are a prominent class of surface receptors that regulate many aspects of the plant life cycle. Despite recent advances the function of most receptor-like kinases remains elusive. Therefore, it is paramount to investigate these receptors. The task is complicated by the fact that receptor-like kinases belong to a large monophyletic family with many sub-clades. In...
متن کامل[Endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis].
Mammalian endothelium acts as a mediator in arterial and venous relaxation and contraction. Endothelium-dependent relaxation is due to endothelial release of powerful, non-prostanoid vasodilatory substances. The best known of these is the endothelial factor EDRF identified as nitrous oxide (NO). It is the end result of the metabolism of L-arginine by the NO synthetase of endothelial cells. In a...
متن کاملSalidroside Improves Homocysteine-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction by Reducing Oxidative Stress
Hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases through increased oxidative stress. Salidroside is an active ingredient of the root of Rhodiola rosea with documented antioxidative, antihypoxia and neuroprotective properties. However, the vascular benefits of salidroside against endothelial dysfunction have yet to be explored. The present study, therefore, a...
متن کاملPhysical inactivity increases oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE Sedentary lifestyle is associated with increased cardiovascular events. The underlying molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. An important source of vascular ROS is the NADPH oxidase. METHODS AND RESULTS C57BL6 mice were subjected to regular housing (physical inactivity) or voluntary ...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction: An early marker for atherosclerosis
Since the 80's, vascular endothelium emerged as a complex, local, regulating system of haemostasis, thrombosis and fibrinolysis, immunity, and vasomotricity. Most vessels (except capillaries) are under control of endothelium/smooth muscle complex (and probably adventitia) which allows local adjustment of calibre, as well as, resistance and distribution of the blood flow to the organs. This loca...
