Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a decreased level of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and adiponectin. Experimental studies suggest a potential link between hypoadiponectinaemia and the depletion of the EPC level. This study investigated the relationships b

## Abstract Endothelial dysfunction is involved in various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to reβendothelialization and neoβvascularization, and the increase of EPCs in peripherial circulation benefits the prognosis of cardiovascular d
## Abstract Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) is expressed in the brain and may play an important role there in the degradation of the amyloid beta peptide (AΞ²). Our results show that cultured human cerebrovascular endothelial cells (HCECs), a primary component of the bloodβbrain barrier, express IDE
