Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) or Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) is a signal protein produced by cells that stimulates blood vessel formation (vasculogenesis and angiogenesis).[1] Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor was originally known as vascular permeability factor (VPF).

The VEGF family help maintain blood vessel and lymphatic systems.[1]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

Landi et al. (2016) found lower levels of VEGF, IL-7 and IL-16 in 100 long-term ME/CFS patients compared to controls but studies by Horning et al. (2015) and Montoya et al. (2017) did not find this statistically significant.[2][3]
