    • Decreased numbers of endothelial progenitor cells in patients in the early stages of systemic sclerosis 

      Andrigueti, Fernando V. [UNIFESP]; Arismendi, Maria I. [UNIFESP]; Ebbing, Pamela C. C. [UNIFESP]; Kayser, Cristiane [UNIFESP] (Elsevier B.V., 2015-03-01)
      Introduction: Microangiopathy and endothelial dysfunction are present in the early stages of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Defective vasculogenesis mediated by bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) might be ...

    • Effects of simvastatin/ezetimibe on microparticles, endothelial progenitor cells and platelet aggregation in subjects with coronary heart disease under antiplatelet therapy 

      Camargo, Luciano M.[UNIFESP]; França, Carolina Nunes [UNIFESP]; Izar, Maria Cristina de Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Bianco, Henrique Tria [UNIFESP]; Lins, Liliane S.; Barbosa, Simone Pinto de Melo [UNIFESP]; Pinheiro, Luiz Fernando Muniz [UNIFESP]; Fonseca, Francisco Antonio Helfenstein [UNIFESP] (Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2014-05-02)
      It is not known whether the addition of ezetimibe to statins adds cardiovascular protection beyond the expected changes in lipid levels. Subjects with coronary heart disease were treated with four consecutive 1-week courses ...

    • Endothelial Progenitor Cell Mobilization and Platelet Microparticle Release Are Influenced by Clopidogrel Plasma Levels in Stable Coronary Artery Disease 

      Franca, Carolina N. [UNIFESP]; Pinheiro, Luiz F. M. [UNIFESP]; Izar, Maria C. O. [UNIFESP]; Brunialti, Milena K. C. [UNIFESP]; Salomao, Reinaldo [UNIFESP]; Bianco, Henrique T. [UNIFESP]; Kasmas, Soraia H. [UNIFESP]; Barbosa, Simone P. [UNIFESP]; Nucci, Gilberto de; Fonseca, Francisco A. H. [UNIFESP] (Japanese Circulation Soc, 2012-03-01)
      Background: Increased numbers of endothelial (EMP) and platelet (PMP) microparticles have been related to cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery disease. Little is known about the early effects of statins and ...

    • Imbalance between endothelial progenitors cells and microparticles in HIV-infected patients naive for antiretroviral therapy 

      Silva, Érika Ferrai Rafael da [UNIFESP]; Fonseca, Francisco Antonio Helfenstein [UNIFESP]; Franca, Carolina Nunes [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Paulo Roberto Abrão [UNIFESP]; Izar, Maria Cristina de Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Salomao, Reinaldo [UNIFESP]; Camargo, Luciano Monteiro de [UNIFESP]; Tenore, Simone de Barros [UNIFESP]; Lewi, David Salomao [UNIFESP] (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011-08-24)
      Background: Cardiovascular events have been reported among HIV-infected patients following antiretroviral therapy. However, the role of HIV itself in determining vascular damage is less described. Chronic inflammatory state ...

    • Intrauterine growth restriction-induced deleterious adaptations in endothelial progenitor cells: possible mechanism to impair endothelial function 

      Oliveira, Vanessa [UNIFESP]; Souza, Livia Victorino de [UNIFESP]; Fernandes, Tiago; Silva Júnior, Sebastião Donato; Carvalho, Maria Helena Catelli de; Akamine, Eliana Hiromi; Michelini, Lisete Compagno; Oliveira, Edilamar Menezes de; Franco, Maria do Carmo Pinho [UNIFESP] (Cambridge Univ Press, 2017)
      Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) can induce deleterious changes in the modulatory ability of the vascular endothelium, contributing to an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in the long term. However, ...

    • Statins and stroke: potential mechanisms for neurovascular protection 

      Fonseca, Francisco Antonio Helfenstein [UNIFESP]; Franca, Carolina Nunes [UNIFESP]; Póvoa, Rui Manuel dos Santos [UNIFESP]; Izar, Maria Cristina de Oliveira [UNIFESP] (Revista De Neurologia, 2010-11-01)
      As the average human lifespan is increasing worldwide, ischemic stroke became one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity, particularly in emerging countries. Significant decrease in the rates of first and ...
