We have studied the influence of bilateral carotid ischemia-reperfusion on the indices of the functional and morphological condition of the vascular endothelium of the brain hypothalamolimbic complex. It has been established that a decrease of the density of endothelial location in an early ischemic-reperfusion period in the control rats has a relative characterstipulated by edema of cells whereas on the 12-th day of observation an increase of the absolute density of cells takes place. During both periods of observation there is an increased content of the tjtal RNA in the capillary endotheliocytes of all the structures. An early reaction of the morpho-functional states of endotheliocytes to ischemic-reperfusion is absent in animal with diabetes mellitus, exept the vessels of the ventromedial hypothalamus while a late one is restricted by a growth content in RNA cells.

Tissue-specific endothelial cells (ECs) are critical for the homeostasis of pancreatic islets and most other tissues. In vitro recapitulation of islet biology and therapeutic islet transplantation both require adequate vascularization, which remains a challenge. Using human reprogrammed vascular ECs (R-VECs), human islets were functionally vascularized in vitro, demonstrating responsive, dynamic glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and Ca influx.

Apelin, a (neuro) vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling water balance and cardiovascular functions. Apelin and its receptor co-localize with vasopressin in magnocellular vasopressinergic neurons. Apelin receptors (Apelin-Rs) are also expressed in the collecting ducts of the kidney, where vasopressin type 2 receptors are also present.

The present study aims to examine the effect of 4 h of continuous sitting on cerebral endothelial function, which is a crucial component of cerebral blood flow regulation. We hypothesized that 4 h of sitting may impair cerebral endothelial function similarly to how it affects lower limb vasculature. Thirteen young, healthy participants were instructed to remain seated for 4 h without moving their lower limbs.

The glycocalyx is an essential structural and functional component of endothelial cells. Extensive hemodynamic changes cause endothelial glycocalyx disruption and vascular dysfunction, leading to multiple arterial and venous disorders. Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a common disorder of the lower extremities with major health and socio-economic implications, but complex pathophysiology.

Background: Vascular endothelial dysfunction (VED) is one of the main pathogenic events in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Previous studies have demonstrated that the ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) can ameliorate PAH, but the mechanism by which Rg1 affects pulmonary VED in hypoxia-induced PAH remains unclear.
Methods: Network pharmacology, molecular docking and other experiments were used to explore the mechanisms by which Rg1 affects PAH.
