When Is Atherosclerosis Not Atherosclerosis? [PDF]
To the Editor: When is atherosclerosis not atherosclerosis? In the last decade, there have been 2 revolutions in the study of atherosclerosis. On the one hand, a more sophisticated appreciation of the relationship between the morphology and fate of human atherosclerotic plaques and clinical outcomes has been developed.

The data presented in this article describe an effect of N-acetylneuraminic acid and/or quercetin on the inflammatory proteins expressions (TNF-α, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and MOMA-2) and the N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) levels of apolipoprotein E-deficient mice

Alcohol and atherosclerosis [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is manifested as coronary artery disease (CAD), ischemic stroke and peripheral vascular disease. Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with reduction of CAD complications. Apparently, red wine offers more benefits than any other kind of drinks, probably due to flavonoids. Alcohol alters lipoproteins and the coagulation system.

Probucol treatment results in an increase in plasma concentrations of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) which may account, in part, for the effects of this agent on plasma concentrations of HDL cholesterol. We have examined the mechanism by which

Targeting inflammation to reduce cardiovascular disease risk: a realistic clinical prospect? [PDF]
Data from basic science experiments is overwhelmingly supportive of the causal role of immune-inflammatory response(s) at the core of atherosclerosis, and therefore the theoretical potential to manipulate the inflammatory response to prevent ...

Atherosclerosis, a disease of the large arteries, is the primary cause of heart disease and stroke. In westernized societies, it is the underlying cause of about 50% of all deaths. Epidemiological studies have revealed several important environmental and genetic risk factors associated with atherosclerosis.

Phosphatidylserine in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Purpose of review It is now widely acknowledged that phosphatidylserine is a multifunctional bioactive lipid. In this review, we focus on the function of phosphatidylserine in modulating cholesterol metabolism, influencing inflammatory response and regulating coagulation system, and discuss promising phosphatidylserine-based ...

Stable isotope tracer studies of apoprotein flux in rodent models present difficulties as they require working with small volumes of plasma. We demonstrate the ability to measure apoprotein flux by administering either 2H- or 18O-labeled water to mice ...
