29 Moreover, adiponectin reduces the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) from brain endothelial cells in response to oxidative stress, modulating BBB function. 30 Judging from previous evidences ...

Cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and osteoblasts were stimulated with adiponectin (1 or 10 μg ml −1) or IL-1β (0.1 ng ml −1) in the presence or absence of ...

Adiponectin is a peptide hormone secreted by the adipocytes. Other cells such as skeletal and cardiac myocytes as well as endothelial cells also produce adiponectin. This hormone plays a key role ...

Experimental and clinical studies suggest that there is an evolving role for endothelial progenitor cells in neoangiogenesis and rejuvenation of the endothelial monolayer. 6,12,17 The presence of ...

Adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, plays a doubly important role in preserving pancreatic function: in lean people, it protects beta cells, which make insulin, and in obese people, it ...

Endothelial cells -- the cells that line blood vessels -- grown alongside leukemia cells become corrupted and rescue the cancer cells from many chemotherapy drugs, a study found. Endothelial cells ...

Cardiovascular risk factors contribute to atherogenesis by inducing endothelial-cell injury and dysfunction. We hypothesized that endothelial progenitor cells derived from bone marrow have a role ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies.
