Nanomaterials and nanoparticles: Sources and toxicity [PDF]
This review is written with the goal of informing public health concerns related to nanoscience, while raising awareness of nanomaterials toxicity among scientists and manufacturers handling them. We show that humans have always been exposed to nanoparticles and dust from natural sources and human activities, the recent development of industry and ...

The Role of Costimulatory Receptors of the Tumour Necrosis Factor Receptor Family in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is mediated by both the innate and adaptive immune responses. T lymphocytes, that together with B cells are the cellular effectors of the adaptive immune system, are currently endowed with crucial ...

Separation and characterization of plasma lipoproteins of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)
A group of 14 adult male rhesus monkeys was maintained on a low cholesterol–high fat diet. Periodically, animals were fasted and blood samples were taken for characterization of the plasma lipoproteins.

Improved Surgical Technique for Heterotopic Aortic Transplantation in Mice [PDF]
Transplant arteriosclerosis is the main limitation for long-term survival of solid organ transplant recipients. Animal models would provide invaluable tools to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of transplant ...

The effect of periodontal treatment for atherosclerotic indicator:cardio ankle vascular index(CAVI) [PDF]
Independent from hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, a classical risk factor for arteriosclerosis, it has been shown that various types of chronic inflammationmay be involved in the development of arteriosclerosis.

Thin-layer electrophoresis of serum lipoproteins
A method is described for semiquantitative study of serum lipoproteins, with particular reference to the very low density fractions involved in transport of triglycerides. Serum samples were subjected to electrophoresis in thin layers of starch granules;

An efficient chromatographic system for lipoprotein fractionation using whole plasma
We have validated a semi-automatic procedure for the efficient isolation of plasma lipoproteins from 300 μl of whole plasma (actual injection volume 200 μl) by Fast Phase Liquid Chromatography (FPLC).
