The endothelium of the arteries has a major role in modulating arterial function.
The endothelium lies between the circulating blood and vascular smooth muscle and is stimulated by mechanical and hormonal signals.
In addition, functionally significant changes in surface expression of these adhesion molecules probably occur primarily during the three-stage process of adhesion to endothelium discussed above.
Effect of endothelium-derived relaxing factor inhibition on the umbilical-placental circulation in fetal lambs in utero.
Regulated by the endothelium, it also plays a conflicting role in inflammatory processes.
The endothelium plays an important role in this transition.
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the immature endothelium on the contractile response.
Thus, the contribution of other endothelium-derived mechanisms and the effect of pregnancy on the vascular response to phenylephrine needs further investigation.
