Serum Pon-1 Activity but not Q192R Polymorphism is Related to The Extent of Atherosclerosis

, 2012
Aim: Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an antioxidant enzyme located in high density lipoprotein (HDL). PON1 was defined as a protective factor against atherosclerosis.

Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2006
Atherosclerosis is a multifocal, smoldering, immunoinflammatory disease of medium-sized and large arteries fuelled by lipids. Endothelial cells, leukocytes, and intimal smooth muscle cells are the major players in the development of this disease. The most devastating consequences of atherosclerosis, such as heart attack and stroke, are caused by ...

Laminopathies and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2004
Laminopathies are genetic diseases that encompass a wide spectrum of phenotypes with diverse tissue pathologies and result mainly from mutations in the LMNA gene encoding nuclear lamin A/C. Some laminopathies affect the cardiovascular system, and a few (namely, Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy [FPLD2 ...

Availability of Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) as a Screening Tool for Atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2008
Background: A novel index, the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), which reflects the stiffness of the aorta, femoral artery, and tibial artery, was recently developed by measuring brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and blood pressure.

Artery‐on‐Chip Demonstrates Mechanical and Functional Features of Healthy and Diseased Living Smooth Muscle Tissue

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This article details the development of an artery‐on‐chip platform for in vitro arterial disease modeling and therapeutic discovery. It describes the fabrication of a fibrin biomaterial scaffold seeded with iPSC‐derived smooth muscle and endothelial cells, mimicking native artery properties. Two genetic disease models showcase the platform's ability to

Plasma lipoprotein distribution of apoC-III in normolipidemic and hypertriglyceridemic subjects: comparison of the apoC-III to apoE ratio in different lipoprotein fractions

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
In order to assess the relationship between plasma accumulation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and lipoprotein levels of apoC-III and apoE, we have measured apoC-III and apoE in lipoproteins separated according to size (by automated gel ...

Hepatitis B Virus Seropositivity Is Not Associated with Increased Risk of Carotid Atherosclerosis in Taiwanese

, 2008
Background: Chronic infection has been proposed to increase the risk of atherosclerosis in several experimental and epidemiological studies. However, the relationship of chronic hepatitis B vir-us (HBV) infection and atherosclerosis remains Controversial.

Handgrip strength and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in relation to platelet levels among hypertensive elderly Japanese

, 2017
Age-related disruption of microvascular endothelium exacerbates hypertension and sarcopenia; and atherosclerosis is a well-known biological response to vascular endothelial injury.

Soluble CD40 receptor is a biomarker of the burden of carotid artery atherosclerosis in subjects at high cardiovascular risk

, 2022
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The severity of the atherosclerotic burden is hardly quantifiable in subjects at high cardiovascular (CV) risk under intensive pharmacological therapy. Several molecules have been proposed as circulating biomarkers of atherosclerosis,
