Vascular cytoprotection, autoimmune disease, and premature atherosclerosis by Justin C Mason

“…Endothelial injury and apoptosis leads to endothelial dysfunction, which is closely associated with increased generation of reactive oxygen species, reduced endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase, increased consumption, and impaired synthesis of NO. Systemic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus are associated with endothelial dysfunction, increased aortic stiffness, and accelerated atherogenesis. …”
