Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 06/24/09
Rehberger P et al. - Systemic sclerosis is a connective tissue disorder with unclear aetiology and pathogenesis. However, there is evidence that microvascular changes belong to the early symptoms of the disease. These are associated with increased serum levels of markers of endothelium activation, such as adhesion molecules and growth factors. The stable prostacyclin analogue iloprost is licensed for vascular symptoms (Raynaud's phenomenon) and was recently shown to exert short-term effects on these markers.
