Maternal Endothelial Function, Circulating Endothelial Cells and Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Pregnancies Conceived With or Without In Vitro Fertilization
The arterial endothelium’s response to its flow environment is critical to vascular homeostasis. The endothelial glycocalyx has been shown to play a major role in mechanotransduction, but the extent t
Background: Exposure to tobacco or marijuana smoke, or e-cigarette aerosols, causes vascular endothelial dysfunction in humans and rats. We aimed to determine what constituent, or class of constituent
Flow-mediated slowing (FMS) is a non-invasive measure of endothelial function measured through reactive hyperemia-induced changes in pulse wave velocity (PWV). FMS is suggested to mitigate known pitfa
This study tested the hypothesis that endothelium-specific GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH I) overexpression (Tg-GCH) restores age-associated endothelial dysfunction in vivo. Aortic GTPCH I expression and
