The article "The Vascular Endothelium and Human Diseases" by Peramaiyan Rajendran et al. discusses the critical role of endothelial cells in various human diseases. Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by reduced vasodilation, proinflammatory state, and prothrombotic properties, is associated with cardiovascular diseases, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney failure, cancer, and severe viral infections. The endothelium's functions include maintaining blood flow, regulating coagulation, promoting thrombosis and thrombolysis, and controlling vascular tone and growth. Endothelial dysfunction can be caused by factors such as free radicals, oxidative stress, and environmental factors like obesity, smoking, and high glucose intake. The article highlights the importance of early detection and treatment of endothelial dysfunction to prevent the progression of these diseases. Pharmacological interventions, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, statins, insulin sensitizers, and agents targeting nitric oxide synthase, have shown promise in improving endothelial function. Further research is needed to develop targeted therapies for endothelial dysfunction.The article "The Vascular Endothelium and Human Diseases" by Peramaiyan Rajendran et al. discusses the critical role of endothelial cells in various human diseases.
