Endothelin-1 in atherosclerosis and other vasculopathies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for both myocardial infarction and stroke. A key aspect of this disease is the imbalance of vasoactive factors. In this concise review, we focus on the role of endothelin-1 in the atherosclerotic process and other vasculopathies. Previously, we have demonstrated that there is a correlation between the expression of endothelin and the underlying atherosclerotic lesion. Immunoreactivity was observed for both ET-1 and ECE-1 in endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages within lesions. Endothelin's role in atherosclerosis must extend from its varying physiological activities, including vasoconstriction, mitogenesis, neutrophil adhesion, and platelet aggregation, and hypertrophy, as well as its propensity to induce the formation of reactive oxygen species. We also discuss regulation of endothelin by angiotensin II, reactive oxygen species, thrombin, aging, and LDL in the cardiovascular system. Finally, we demonstrate the role of endothelin in pulmonary hypertension and transplant associated vasculopathy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
