Endothelium-independent dilation in children and adolescents
… response to sublingual NTG (0.3 mg) in youth. Endothelium-independent dilation (EID) was measured in 198 healthy (113 males, 85 females) youth (6-18 yrs) via ultrasound imaging of the brachial artery following NTG administration up to 5-min. Time to peak EID was 4-min, 28-sec, following NTG …

Differential effects of fatty acids on the endothelium
… such as blood pressure, arterial stiffness and endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Aim: To investigate the impact of dietary fat composition on endothelial function and associated markers of vascular health. Methods: The effects of oils rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic …

DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR AND LINEAGE PLASTICITY OF THE PULMONARY VENOUS ENDOTHELIUM
Repair of the pulmonary vascular bed and the origin of new vasculature remains underexplored despite the critical necessity to meet oxygen demands after injury. Given their critical role in angiogenesis in other settings, we investigated the role of venous endothelial cells in endothelial …

Regulation of leukocyte adhesion to endothelium / by Jennifer Ruth Gamble.
… enhances the adhesion of neutrophils to the endothelium by an action both on the neutrophil and on the endothelial cell.

Design and nondestructive imaging of a bioengineered vascular graft endothelium
… vascular graft is development of a confluent endothelium on the lumen that is able to resist detachment under physiologic fluid flow. In addition, methodologies used to assess the growth and maturation of the endothelium in a noninvasive and dynamic manner are severely lacking. Therefore, the …

Basal Release of Endothelium-derived Nitric Oxide in Thyropathologic Rat Aorta
… At steady state, methylene blue (MB) (10 mM), an endotheliumderived nitric oxide (EDNO) inhibitor, was added and rings were allowed to contract further. At steady state, a high PI3 dose (10 mM) was added to produce maximum contraction. Irrespective of the sacrifice method, the basal release of …

Histone Deacetylase 7 and Transcriptional Regulatory Networks of the Vascular Endothelium
Cells respond to stimuli in part through the modulation of gene expression. Signal transduction from the environment to the nucleus culminates in the activation of factors that modify chromatin structure to either facilitate or inhibit gene transcription. Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and …

Heterogeneity in the vascular endothelium enables parallel processing of multiple stimuli
The endothelium is a complex network of cells that lines the entire vasculature and it controls virtually all cardiovascular functions. Changes in the behaviour of endothelial cells underly almost all cardiovascular disease. To regulate cardiovascular function, the endothelium integrates hundreds …

A study of platelets and the endothelium in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
… IPF and vascular disease. Platelets and the endothelium play an important role in maintaining vascular integrity, patency and function. In addition to their role in haemostasis, platelets have significant inflammatory and pro-fibrotic potential. Platelets and the lung have a close …

The role of acute phosphate supplementation in endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilation
Phosphate is a mineral component of the human diet that is essential for life. However, elevated blood phosphate levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and death in the general population. The mechanisms through which phosphate may be detrimental to cardiovascular health remain unclear, …

Plasma membrane calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4) and inflammation of the aortic endothelium
… adhesive interactions between leukocytes and the endothelium. Immune cell infiltration is often involved in the initiation and progression of several vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis. Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4) belongs to a family of transmembrane ion transporters that …

Single cell transcriptomics of the retinal vascular endothelium in health and diabetes
… to better understand the biology of the retinal endothelium and retinal vasculature and how this becomes dysfunctional within a diabetic milieu. A single cell RNA-sequencing workflow was established to uncover novel insights into retinal vascular biology including the expression of novel …
