Angiopoietin-2 is increased in sepsis and inversely associated with nitric oxide-dependent microvascular reactivity

INTRODUCTION: Angiopoietin-2 (ang-2), an angiogenic peptide released by endothelial cell Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs), increases endothelial activation and vascular permeability. Ang-2 is raised in severe sepsis but the mechanisms underlying this are not known. Nitric oxide (NO) inhibits WPB exocytos...
