P-185: Expression and Function of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Fallopian Tuben Carrying Ectopic Pregnancy
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic growth factor that is produced by different tissues, including the endometrium and ovary. VEGF is involved in many processes related to reproductive physiology, including angiogenesis, which is essential for implantation and placentation. It has been suggested that VEGF may be the angiogenic factor responsible for the implan...
متن کاملAging and vascular endothelial function in humans.
Advancing age is the major risk factor for the development of CVD (cardiovascular diseases). This is attributable, in part, to the development of vascular endothelial dysfunction, as indicated by reduced peripheral artery EDD (endothelium-dependent dilation) in response to chemical [typically ACh (acetylcholine)] or mechanical (intravascular shear) stimuli. Reduced bioavailability of the endoth...
متن کاملMitochondria, endothelial cell function, and vascular diseases
Mitochondria are perhaps the most sophisticated and dynamic responsive sensing systems in eukaryotic cells. The role of mitochondria goes beyond their capacity to create molecular fuel and includes the generation of reactive oxygen species, the regulation of calcium, and the activation of cell death. In endothelial cells, mitochondria have a profound impact on cellular function under both healt...
متن کاملDesign of a humanized anti vascular endothelial growth factor nanobody and evaluation of its in vitro function
Objective(s): Nanobodies, the single domain antigen binding fragments of heavy chain-only antibodies occurring naturally in camelid sera, are the smallest intact antigen binding entities. Their minimal size assists in reaching otherwise largely inaccessible regions of antigens. However, their camelid origin raises a possible concern of immunogenicity when used for human therapy. Humanization is...
متن کاملRegulation of vascular endothelial barrier function.
The increase in endothelial permeability in response to inflammatory mediators such as alpha-thrombin and histamine is accompanied by cell rounding and interendothelial gap formation, implicating that the predominant transport pathway is a diffusive one [i.e., via cellular junctions (paracellular transport)]. However, the possible contribution by vesicle-mediated transport (i.e., via albumin bi...
