Metoprolol improves endothelial function in patients with cardiac syndrome X
Endothelial dysfunction which is manifested by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is an increasingly recognized cause of cardiac syndrome X (CSX) and beta blockers are used for the treatment of this syndrome. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate effects of metoprolol, as a beta blocker, on endothelial function in CSX patients. The study included 25 CSX patients (20 female/ 5 ma...

متن کاملLong-term L-arginine supplementation improves small-vessel coronary endothelial function in humans.
BACKGROUND Coronary endothelial dysfunction is characterized by an imbalance between endothelium-derived vasodilating and vasoconstricting factors and coronary vasoconstriction in response to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine. Thus, the present double-blind, randomized study was designed to test the hypothesis that long-term, 6-month supplementation of L-arginine, the precurso...
متن کاملL-arginine improves endothelial function, independently of arginine uptake, in aortas from chronic renal failure female rats.
Endothelial cell dysfunction (ECD) is a common feature of chronic renal failure (CRF). Defective nitric oxide (NO) generation due to decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity is a crucial parameter characterizing ECD. Decreased activity of cationic amino acid transporter-1 (CAT-1), the selective arginine transporter of eNOS, has been shown to inhibit eNOS in uremia. Recently, ...
متن کاملL - Arginine Improves Vascular Endothelial Function - A Key Component of Cardiovascular Health by Douglas MacKay , ND
Elevated cholesterol is widely accepted as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, with the near-hysteria surrounding high cholesterol and its treatment over the past 30 years, a few important pieces of the cardiovascular health puzzle have been ignored. One important aspect lies in the health ofthe inner layer of cells lining all blood vessels the vascular endothelial c...
