Abstract

In human vascular diseases, endothelial dysfunction is a systemic pathological state of the endothelium and can be largely defined as an imbalance between vasoconstricting and vasodilating substances created by/or acting on the endothelium. In a pathological state such as the metabolic disorder, an augmented oxidant capacity combined with declined antioxidant capacity generates an uneven environment resulting in oxidative stress. ROS have been observed to play a foremost role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease.
