متن کاملAsymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) and Endothelial Dysfunction: Implications for Atherogenesis
Atherosclerotic coronary heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries, and endothelial dysfunction is considered a precursor phenomenon. The nitric oxide produced by the endothelium under the action of endothelial nitric oxide synthase has important antiatherogenic functions. Its reduced bioavailabilty is the beginning of the atherosclerotic process....
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction in childhood infection.

متن کاملSmoking and cardiovascular disease: mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction and early atherogenesis.
Smoking represents one of the most important preventable risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis. The present review aims at providing a comprehensive summary of published data from clinical and animal studies, as well as results of basic research on the proatherogenic effect of smoking. Extensive search and review of literature revealed a vast amount of data on the influence of cig...
متن کاملVasculitis: Endothelial Dysfunction During Rickettsial Infection
Rickettsial infections cause irreversible damage to the human host and are associated with a high morbidity and high mortality. The mortality rate can be as high as 20 % for Rocky Mountain spotted fever and 30 % for epidemic typhus, which are both diseases that are caused by rickettsiae. Some rickettsiae species, such as Rickettsia prowazekii and Rickettsia rickettsii, are currently considered ...
