Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMV) is a physiological measure to non-invasively estimate endothelial function.
These previous cross-sectional and interventional studies demonstrate inconsistent results on the relationship between leptin and endothelial function, possibly because the study subjects or the method used to estimate endothelial function differs.
Similar(58)
Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) measured by brachial artery ultrasonography was used as an estimate of endothelial function at day 1 (acute response) and day 15 (midterm response).
Moreover, such studies have shown that FMD and HV are at best weakly correlated [ 13, 14], suggesting that they reflect different physiologic processes: FMD estimating conduit-artery endothelial function and HV estimating RH and microvascular function [ 15- 17].
Our findings are in line with other studies that found no effect of GLP-1 analogues on peripheral endothelial function estimated by flow-mediated dilation in patients with type 2 diabetes and estimated by RHI in a pre-diabetic population [ 36, 37].
In 10 healthy normotensive subjects (3 f/7 m), (age 37±11 yrs), (BMI 24±3 kg/m2) direct recordings of sympathetic action potentials to the muscle vascular bed (MSNA) were performed and endothelial function estimated with the Reactive Hyperaemia- Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (RH-PAT) technique.
Endothelial function was estimated by using the Endo-PAT device (Itamar Medical Ltd., Caesarea, Israel), a noninvasive technology that captures a beat-to-beat plethysmographic recording of the finger arterial pulse wave amplitude (PWA) with pneumatic probes, detecting the peripheral arterial tone.
Endothelial function is often estimated non-invasively by vascular reactivity tests.
It clearly does not exclude the presence of other and possibly more important determinants of endothelial function but provide an estimate of the contribution of LDL-cholesterol lowering to improved endothelial function.
Ultrasound measurements of brachial artery reactivity in response to stagnant ischemia provide estimates of microvascular function and conduit artery endothelial function.
MFR was estimated by MBF changes under adenosine triphosphate infusion and endothelial function by MBF changes under cold pressor testing.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
