To gain further insight into the interaction and possibly shared pathophysiological mechanisms of female-specific cardiovascular risk factors and events we will quantify white matter hyperintensities on brain MRI and assess endothelial function in…
We hypothesize that the amount of physical activity correlates with insulin-induced microvascular recruitment during free-fatty acid infusion in skeletal muscle as well as in the heart. In this study we aim to test this hypothesis.
This study aims at (further) revealing the pathophysiology of intestinal IR in man, with a specific interest for the role of proteases and protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), cellular and inflammatory changes, barrier function and intestinal…
1. To identify presymptomatic and symptomatic profiles including (early) disease stages and early biomarkers of disease progression and to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms, we will investigate RVCL patients at different ages (both symptomatic…
Measuring the thickness of the microvascular glycocalyx, and make a comparement between lacunar stroke patients and healthy controls.We also compare glycocalyx between patients with and without concomitant silent signs of cSVD on brain MRI.
To develop pulse transit time into a diagnostic device which can be used to assess an altered cold/heat mediated vasomotor response (CHMV) (central component) and the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) (peripheral component) in CRPS patients.
1. Do body fatness and/or body fat distribution show a linear association withmicrovascular function in normal as well as IGT subjects?2. Is the effect of body composition on the microvasculature mediated by alteredadipokine profile, low-grade…

To describe the differences in macrophage infiltration and mRNA expression of adipocytokines in subcutaneous, omental and perirenal fat tissue in Cushing's syndrome compared to healthy controls.
To identify some of the mechanisms in patients in remission of Cushing*s syndrome that contribute to the persistence of visceral obesity, systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, sarcopenia, a low muscle oxidative capacity and increased risk of…
Our overall objective is to better understand the role of regulatory B cells in disease pathogenesis and to better predict disease flares in order to individualize treatment.
1. To assess neuroimaging hallmarks of RVCL disease stages;2. To evaluate cerebrovascular reactivity as a biomarker of endothelial (dys)function in RVCL patients, in migraine patients and healthy controls;3. To identify shared pathophysiological…
We hypothesize, that during an oral glucose tolerance test, the OPS arterial flow measured sublingual will be comparable within the same subject, but different between young, elderly and type 2 diabetic patients. Objective is to quantify differences…
In this study the effects of a two-week moderately intense-intense physical activity on vascular function, glucose-metabolism, lipid-metabolism and adipose tissue function will be analyzed.
We aim to study the role of PVAT in regulation of vascular function, tissue perfusion and glucose uptake in muscle. We hypothesize that PVAT determines insulin-induced vasoreactivity when studied ex vivo and correlates with insulin-induced…

To determine the vaginal microbiota composition during preeclampsia
To assess the feasibility of measuring a course in ischemia and endothelial activation in antecubital venous blood during cooling and recovery in patients Raynaud*s phenomenon, primary and secondary to SSc with and without Pulmonary Arterial…
The primary objective is to determine and compare the microvascular status between middle-aged women with and without migraine. Secondary objectives include a determination of the agreement and reproducibility of two devices which measure the blood…
1. to describe NVC findings in patients with pediatric (systemic) auto-immune/-inflammatory diseases:- Juvenile systemic/localized sclerosis (jSSc/lSc)- Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE)- Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM)- Juvenile…
