The endothelium causes relaxations of the underlying vascular smooth muscle, by releasing
nitric oxide (NO). The endothelial cells also can evoke hyperpolarization of the vascular …

The endothelium mediates a number of responses (relaxation or contraction) of arteries and
veins from animals and humans. The endothelium-dependent relaxations are due to the …

Endothelium‐dependent contractions contribute to endothelial dysfunction in various animal
models of aging, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In the spontaneously hypertensive …

The endothelium is a crucial regulator of vascular physiology, producing in healthy
conditions several substances with a potent antiatherosclerotic properties. Accordingly, the …

Aging is an important risk factor for the development of many cardiovascular diseases as
