Abstract

The endothelium, long considered merely an inert, semipermeable membrane between blood and the vessel wall, is now viewed as an important, large and highly active endocrine organ which is responsible for a number of vital physiological functions. In this editorial we will discuss the important role of the endothelium and endothelial (dys)function in health and disease, with particular focus on postmenopausal cardiovascular disease and preeclampsia.
