background: migraine is a neurovascular disorder and any interventions improving endothelial function may contribute to its treatment and prevention of vascular complications like ischemic stroke. yoga has been shown to have several beneficial effects on cardiovascular systems. however, no randomized controlled studies to date have investigated its effects on endothelial function of migraineurs...

the aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) with that of lovastatin in restoration of endothelia function in the aorta taken form aged n-mair rats. for this purpose, 4 groups of old n-mari rats were used (n=6), normal saline treated control group, lovastatin (10 mg/kg, orally) and fengreek seed powder in normal saline suspension (100 or 500 mg...

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...

background: this study attempted to determine the effects of long-term use of vitamin c on vascular endothelial function. materials and methods: during a pilot clinical trial study conducted at imam hussein hospital (isfahan) in 2014-2015, a total of 40 diabetic patients were selected and then assigned randomly into two 20-subject groups receiving vitamin c and placebo tablets. the patients wer...

endothelial dysfunction and carotid intima-media thickness are 2 indicators of subclinical cardiovascular disease. the aim of study was to analyze brachial flow mediated dilation(fmd)and carotid intima media thickness (cimt)in patients with coronary artery disease, and investigate the relationship between endothelial function, cimt and coronary artery disease risk factors.56 men and women aged ...

background: recent evidences have supported migraine headache and neurally mediated syncope as the especial types of endotheliopathies. to determine endothelial function in patients with migraine headache or those with neurally mediated syncope,the present study was conducted. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 93 consecutive patients aged 5-20 years in four grou...

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...

introduction: endothelial cells are subjected to mechanical forces caused by pulsatile flow and pressure leading to hemodynamic shear stress and circumferential stress on endothelial layer. the study aimed at a quantitative evaluation of endothelial cell morphology by application of cyclic loading. endothelial cells respond to applied loads with adaptation and remodeling. such mechanisms are ma...

Objective: Aging is associated with endothelial dysfunction and arthrosclerosis. This study aimed to assesses the impact of combined circular training (resistance-interval) on endothelial-derived microparticles (EMPs) as a marker of endothelial function and cardiovascular risk factors in overweight elderly men. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, twenty four overweight men aged ...
