Sažetak

The endothelium consists of one layer of endothelial cells which cover the inner layer of the blood and lymph vessels. The endothelium is involved in the regulation of vascular tone and structure, inflammation and thrombosis by releasing various agonistic and antagonistic molecules to maintain homeostasis. Endothelial dysfunction signifies defects of the endothelial cells. Many published studies strongly support the hypothesis that endothelial dysfunction is an essential component of atherosclerosis and its presence is a risk factor for the development of various clinical events, such as stroke. The search for specific biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction can have important clinical significance. Identification and monitoring of biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction could contribute to stroke diagnosis, prognosis and development of therapeutic strategies.
