Summary

The aim of this study is to find out, how far red blood cells reflect age-depended changes in endothelial function.

Detailed description

It will be investigated with determination of endothelial function (measured as flow-mediated vasodilation) and of circulated nitric oxid-pool in red blood cells and in blood plasma, how far red blood cells reflect age-depended changes in endothelial function.
