ENDOTHELIAL GLYCOCALYX — POTENTIAL VASCULAR BIOMARKER: DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC TARGET IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Abstract

Endothelium glycocalyx (EG) is a highly organized protecting complex of the vessels. Damage of EG is one of the first pathogenetic mechanisms of a range of pathologies onset, and primarily cardiovascular diseases. Current paper focuses on the structure, functioning of EG normally and in pathology, and on the possibility to apply EG as potential vascular biomarker, target for therapy.
