The endothelial glycocalyx has a profound influence at the vascular wall on the transmission
of shear stress, on the maintenance of a selective permeability barrier and a low hydraulic …

Hyaluronan (HA) is a ubiquitous glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular matrix. It is present
in the endothelial glycocalyx covering the apical surface of endothelial cells. The endothelial …

The glycocalyx is a layer coating the luminal surface of vascular endothelial cells. It is vital
for endothelial function as it participates in microvascular reactivity, endothelium interaction …

Abstracts Background The number of studies measuring breakdown products of the
glycocalyx in plasma has increased rapidly during the past decade. The purpose of the …

Albuminuria is commonly used as a marker of kidney disease progression, but some
evidence suggests that albuminuria also contributes to disease progression by inducing …

Background The availability of handheld, noninvasive sublingual video-microscopes allows
for visualization of the microcirculation in critically ill patients. Recent studies demonstrate …

The endothelium is the largest organ in the body and recent studies have shown that the
endothelial glycocalyx (eGCX) plays a major role in health and disease states. The integrity …

Microvascular dysfunction (MVD) is considered a crucial pathway in the development and
progression of cardiometabolic and renal disease and is associated with increased …

Changes in endothelial glycocalyx are one of the earliest changes in development of
cardiovascular disease. The endothelial glycocalyx is both an important biological modifier …

We investigated microcirculatory perfusion disturbances following cardiopulmonary bypass
in the early postoperative period and whether the course of these disturbances mirrored …
