The effects of a mushroom-egg white blend product on endothelial health and cardiovascular biomarkers
… mushroom-egg white blend product consumption on endothelial health and cardiovascular biomarkers. In a randomized, single-blind, crossover trial, forty overweight and obese adults consumed an egg whites only (EWO) control product and a mushroom-egg white blend (MEWB) treatment product daily for 6 …

The effect of freeze dried whole watermelon powder on endothelial function and vascular health in older adults
… powder on cardiovascular biomarkers and endothelial health. In a 16-week double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled study design, 38 men and women between the ages of 45 to 79 years old consumed whole freeze dried watermelon powder or placebo powder (control). An EndoPATⓇ was used to …

Circulating progenitor cells in atrial fibrillation: Relationship to endothelial dysfunction, thrombogenesis and inflammation
… confers a hypercoagulable state. Disruption of endothelial homeostasis (damage vs. repair) is thought to be central to this process. The endothelium appears to be damaged both by AF and various other vascular diseases (e.g. hypertension) that frequently co-exist with the arrhythmia, with similar …

Elucidating the underlying mechanisms of diabetic endotheliopathy using patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells
… biomarkers. The ability to generate functional endothelial cells (ECs) from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is a novel and powerful tool for cell-based therapies. Human iPSC-derived ECs (iPS-ECs) have a broad range of clinical applications including cell-based therapy, disease modelling …

Endothelial Signal Transduction Pathways Mediating Thrombin and Histamine Stimulation of NO-production. Role of AMP-activated protein kinase
Healthy, normally functioning endothelium is critical for maintenance of vascular homeostasis. Endothelial dysfunction, on the other hand, is a key early step in numerous vascular diseases. A vascular surface that normally is thromboresistant, antiinflammatory, vasodilatory and antiproliferative …

Prevention of stroke: risk stratification and targeted and novel therapies
… effect of allopurinol on cerebrovascular health. This study included 14 participants who had impaired baseline cerebrovascular nitric oxide bioavailability. Allopurinol led to a significant improvement in responses to NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) when compared to placebo (p=0.032, …
