Measurement of retinal vessel widths from fundus images based on 2-D modeling [PDF]
Changes in retinal vessel diameter are an important sign of diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Obtaining precise measurements of vascular widths is a critical and demanding process in automated retinal image analysis ...

Studies on the regulation of plasma cholesterol levels in squirrel monkeys of two genotypes
Certain individual squirrel monkeys (“hyporesponders”) are able to remain normocholesterolemic when fed diets containing cholesterol (0.5 mg/kcal). Other squirrel monkeys (“hyperresponders”) when fed the same diet become hypercholesterolemic. The purpose

Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α polymorphisms and postprandial lipemia in healthy men
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that plays a key role in lipid and glucose homeostasis. This study evaluated whether variants of PPARα are associated with postprandial lipemia. Subjects were
