Sex differences in vascular and endothelial responses to acute mental stress.
2008
Objective
Our objective was to assess the differences in systemic vascular and endothelial function in response to acute mental stress between men and women. The endothelium plays a pivotal role in vascular homeostasis and the development of atherosclerotic heart disease. The mechanism and presentation of cardiovascular events show a sex-based difference, although the sex difference in the vascular and endothelial response to mental stress is not known.
