## Abstract Endothelial cell dysfunction plays an important role in the development and progression of cardiovascular and other disease. The purpose of this review is to discuss some of the genetic diseases known to adversely affect endothelial function. Although the list is exhaustive, we focus ou
## Abstract Adiponectin (APN)βmediated cyclooxygenase (COX)β2 induction is known to have various protective effects on cardiovascular diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of APNβmediated COXβ2 induction and its protection against ironβmediated injury in hepatocytes are still unclear. Herein,
The protective effect of dietary saturated fatty acids against the development of alcoholic liver disease has long been known, but the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. We examined the involvement of the adipocyte hormone adiponectin. Circulating adiponectin levels were significantl
