18. Endothelin-1 in the regulation of vascular function and glucose metabolism in insulin resistance
Abstract : Insulin resistance plays a major role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by reduced bioactivity of nitric oxide and increased activity of the vasoconstrictor and pro-inflammatory peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1), is present in insulin-resistant states and is an important factor promoting the development of cardiovascular complications in patients with insulin resistance.

19. The importance of endothelin-1 for vascular function in patients with atherosclerosis and healthy controls
Abstract : Background: Atherosclerosis is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which is an early sign with prognostic implications in patients with coronary artery disease. Atherosclerosis is also associated with enhanced expression of the vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1). READ MORE
