Chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection potentiates adipose tissue macrophage polarization toward an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype and contributes to diabetes progression in a diet-induced obesity model [PDF]

, 2016
Chronic obesity and Chagas disease (caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi) represent serious public health concerns. The interrelation between parasite infection, adipose tissue, immune system and metabolism in an obesogenic context, has not been ...

Association between ideal cardiovascular health and the atherogenic index of plasma

Medicine, 2016
The American Heart Association aims to improve cardiovascular health by encouraging the general population to meet 7 cardiovascular health behaviors and factors. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is an important index. Our aim is to evaluate the relationship between ideal cardiovascular health and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in middle ...

Rapid Remodeling of the Human Gut Microbiome in Response to Short‐Term Animal Product Restriction and Associations with Host Molecular Phenotypes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A real‐world model of structured animal product restriction practiced for religious reasons reveals the dynamic adaptability of the human gut microbiome to dietary change and uncovers reductions in diversity and rare taxa loss. Integrated microbiome, metabolomic, and proteomic analyses uncover coordinated taxonomic and molecular shifts and identify ...

Relationship between the atherogenic index of plasma and arthritis in American adults: Findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005–2018

Journal of International Medical Research
Objective Arthritis is an acute or chronic inflammatory joint disease characterized by pain and stiffness that typically worsen with aging. It is often accompanied with joint rigidity, cartilage degeneration, and pathological changes, such as monocyte ...

Visceral, general, abdominal adiposity and atherogenic index of plasma in relatively lean hemodialysis patients

BMC Nephrology, 2018
Background Obesity is a well-established risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, it is unknown which measure of adiposity best relates to atherosclerosis in relatively lean maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.

The anti-atherogenic effects of thiazolidinediones [PDF]

, 2007
The thiazolidinediones (TZDs) rosiglitazone (ROS) and pioglitazone (PIO) are insulin-sensitising agents widely used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thiazolidinediones significantly improve glycaemic control in diabetics by reduced

Effect of Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) on progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with elevated triglycerides (200-499 mg/dL) on statin therapy: Rationale and design of the EVAPORATE study. [PDF]

, 2018
Despite reducing progression and promoting regression of coronary atherosclerosis, statin therapy does not fully address residual cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Quantitative proteomics identifies clusterin as a novel biomarker for atherosclerosis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates the proposed mechanism. In advanced atherosclerotic lesions, upregulated CLU on the cell surface activates low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1). This interaction triggers the phosphorylation and activation of AKT.

Atherogenic index of plasma is a novel and strong predictor associated with fatty liver: a cross-sectional study in the Chinese Han population

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2019
Background Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been reported to be an important predictor for coronary artery disease and obesity. However, few studies has yet systematically evaluated the association between AIP and Fatty Liver (FL) and its advantage ...

LIPID SPECTRUM IN PATIENTS WITH ESSENTIAL ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AND HEALTHY PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT NOS2 GENE ALLELIC VARIATIONS

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2020
The plasma lipid profile was analyzed in healthy people and patients with essential arterial hypertension (EAH) (stages I–II) with different allelic variations in the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) gene polymorphic markers (rs1800482 and ...
