Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is a key factor in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases. This manuscript explores the intricate mechanisms contributing to endothelial impairment, including the renin-angiotensin axis, oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Additionally, we examine the impact of pro-inflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules, and autoimmunity on endothelial function. Understanding these mechanisms provides insight into potential therapeutic targets for preventing and managing endothelial dysfunction.
