TY - JOUR JO - Reumatologia/Rheumatology SN - 0034-6233 VL - 50 IS - 5 PY - 2012 ID - Rzodkiewicz2012 TI - Role of endothelial progenitor cells and redox potential in synovium neovascularisation AB - Increased neovascularization of synovium is a significant element of pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). One of the factors that influence the course of the pathological process is production of reactive oxygen species which influence both the neovascularization process and endothelial progenitor cells metabolism. Abnormalities in production of reactive oxygen species in the course of inflammation may be not only a cause of damage observed in RA, but also one of the factors affecting the course of disease. This publication presents the current state of knowledge about the process of neovascularization, with particular discussion of the importance of redox potential.
