Mental stress induces transient endothelial dysfunction in humans.
BACKGROUND Mental stress has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality in coronary artery disease and to atherosclerosis progression. Experimental studies have suggested that damage to the endothelium may be an important mechanism. METHODS AND RESULTS Endothelial function was studied in 10 healthy men (aged 50. 4+/-9.6 years) and in 8 non-insulin-dependent diabetic men (aged 52. 0+/-7....
متن کاملMental stress induces prolonged endothelial dysfunction via endothelin-A receptors.
BACKGROUND Mental stress is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and may precipitate myocardial ischemia and infarction. Because endothelial dysfunction is an early manifestation of atherosclerosis, we investigated the impact of mental stress on endothelial function. Methods and Results- The effects of a 3-minute mental stress task on endothelium-dependent vasodilation were studied in healthy subj...
متن کاملSildenafil and endothelial dysfunction in humans.
Although it is well established that ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and pharmacological preconditioning (PPC) protect cardiac myocytes against reversible and irreversible injury and the genesis of cardiac arrhythmias1 in all animal species and humans, the effect of IPC and PPC on endothelial dysfunction has been less thoroughly studied. In this regard, the first article to clearly establish tha...
متن کاملAldosterone Induces Oxidative Stress Via NADPH Oxidase and Downregulates the Endothelial NO Synthesase in Human Endothelial Cells
Aldosterone is traditionally viewed as a hormone regulating electrolyte and blood pressure homeostasis. Recent studies suggest that Aldo can cause microvascular damage, oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. However, its exact cellular mechanisms remain obscure. This study was undertaken to examine the effect of Aldo on superoxide production in human umbilical artery endothelial cel...
متن کاملAldosterone induces acute endothelial dysfunction in vivo in humans: evidence for an aldosterone-induced vasculopathy.
Experimental studies have suggested a role for aldosterone and glucocorticoids in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction. We therefore set out to characterize the acute effects of these hormones on vascular function in vivo in normal humans. A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover study was performed on 16 healthy male volunteers (aged 19-29 years), examining the vascular ...
