N2 - The vascular endothelium is a key regulator of blood flow thus blood pressure. Endothelial cells play a major role in vascular biology by modulating both vasodilation and vasoconstriction through autocrine, paracrine, and hormonal-like mechanisms and molecules such as nitric oxide, prostacyclin, endothelin, and thromboxane. Whenever these fail, endothelial dysfunction presents and may further associated with the development and evolution of a number of cardiovascular pathologies.
