Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Aims: Low plasma testosterone levels have been shown to predict worse outcome in men with severe atherosclerotic disease. We hypothesized that a low plasma testosterone level affects disease risk through changes in gene expression in atherosclerotic ...

Potential circulating biomarkers of atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in patients in the early recovery period of atherothrombotic stroke [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2023 Despite the informative value of ultrasound examination of atherosclerotic vascular lesions, predicting the plaque vulnerability remains difficult. Circulating blood biomarkers could provide additional criteria that would allow better determination of ...

Macrophage death in atherosclerosis: potential role in calcification
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Cell death is an important aspect of atherosclerotic plaque development. Insufficient efferocytosis of death cells by phagocytic macrophages leads to the buildup of a necrotic core that impacts stability of the plaque.

Stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques: an update [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2013 The majority of coronary thrombi (∼75%) is caused by plaque rupture .1,2 Prototype of the rupture-prone plaque contains a large, soft, lipid-rich necrotic core with a thin and inflamed fibrous cap, so-called thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) ( Figure 1 ).3,4 Other common features include expansive remodelling, large plaque size, plaque haemorrhage ...

MicroRNAs in the Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2013 BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNA, miR) are noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by hindering translation. miRNA expression profiles have been shown to differ in vivo and in vitro in many cellular processes associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque segmentation [PDF]
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005 Atherosclerosis is the major cause of heart attack and stroke in the western world. In this paper we present a computerized method for segmenting the athrerosclerotic carotid plaque from ultrasound images. The method uses the blood flow image first to detect the initial contour of the plaque, and then despeckle filtering and snakes to deform the ...

Effects of norepinephrine on plaque hypoxia in atherosclerotic rabbits
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 BackgroundHypoxia plays a vital role throughout the whole process of atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque formation, which may be induced by a reduced oxygen supply.

The Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Atherosclerotic Plaque Instability
Mediators of Inflammation, 2020 Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) belongs to the MMP family and has been widely investigated. Excessive MMP-9 expression can enhance extracellular matrix degradation and promote plaque instability.
