Endothelial dysfunction is a process in which the endothelium secretes substances that promote atherosclerotic plaque build-up rather than the protective substances that prevent this build-up. It is the earliest detectable stage of cardiovascular disease. The good news is that this condition is treateble and even reversible.
What else can I help you with?
Is Endothelial dysfunction reversible?
In general, endothelial dysfunction can be treated. Treatments include life style modifications, certain medications such as Statins or vasodilators (of the ACE-Inhibitor or ARB families) which can improve or even reverse endothelial dysfunction. There are several new lines of drugs investigated by Pharma companies to treat endothelial dysfunction and its underlying causes
What is the link between endothelial dysfunction and heart disease?
Endothelial dysfunction is associated with most cardiovascular diseases, especially coronary artery disease, which can lead to a heart attack. Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be an early marker of coronary artery disease as it usually precedes it decades before any signs or symptoms appear. In fact, many investigators in the cardiovascular field view endothelial dysfunction as the disease whose clinical manifestation is cardiovascular disease.
What pathologies are associated with endothelial cell dysfunction?
Thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and hypertensive vascular lesions.
What has the author Shauna M Dauphinee written?
Shauna M. Dauphinee has written: 'Endothelial dysfunction and inflammation' -- subject(s): Diseases, Physiopathology, Vascular endothelium, Pathophysiology, Inflammation, Pathology, Endothelial Cells, Vascular Endothelium, Cardiovascular system
Is there a link between autism and endothelial dysfunction?
It is unknown how autism is linked to endothelial dysfunction but there is evidence that something is going on. A variation of the MET gene was more common in children the the GI form of autism.

What cells have the greatest automaticity?
ENDOTHELIAL
Cell forming the capillary wall?
Endothelial cells also known as epithernal tissue.
How could we find reliable supplier for human endothelial cells?
Endothelial cells form the inner lining of a blood vessel and provides an anticoagulant barrier between the vessel wall and blood. Endothelial cells also generate an antithrombotic surface that facilitates transit of plasma and cellular constituents throughout the vasculature. As a selective permeability barrier, the endothelial cell is a unique multifunctional cell with critical basal and inducible metabolic and synthetic functions. The endothelial cell reacts with physical and chemical stimuli within the circulation and regulates hemostasis, vasomotor tone, and immune and inflammatory responses. In addition, the endothelial cell is pivotal in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis.
What part of speech is dysfunction?
Dysfunction is a noun
What is endothelial reticulum?
There is no specific term "endothelial reticulum" in biology. It may be a misunderstanding or a term used in a specific context or field. If you provide more context, I can help clarify.
What causes increased permeability of the endothelial-capsular membrane?
Increased permeability of the endothelial-capsular membrane can be caused by factors such as inflammation, trauma, or infection. These conditions can disrupt the tight junctions between endothelial cells, leading to leakage of fluid and proteins from the blood vessels into the surrounding tissues.
Difference between epithelial and endothelial cell?
Endothelial and epethelilal cells are the two different cell types which sandwich together the tissue. On the blood side is the endothelial cells (endo, meaning inside), and on the outer side are the epethelial cells. For example the epethelial cell layer are the cells that coat the intetestine wall, and thus absorb nutrients and the the endothelial cells are the cells that face the blood,and release those nutrients into the blood.
