PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundSeveral previous epidemiologic studies have shown that high blood levels of carotenoids may be protective against early atherosclerosis, but results have been inconsistent.

Liraglutide improves metabolic parameters and carotid intima-media thickness in diabetic patients with the metabolic syndrome: an 18-month prospective study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2016
BackgroundLiraglutide, a GLP-1 analogue, exerts several beneficial non-glycemic effects in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2DM), such as those on body weight, blood pressure, plasma lipids and inflammation markers.

Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness as a Marker of Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Adolescents With Severe Haemophilia

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The clinical focus of haemophilia has expanded beyond bleeding outcomes to encompass long‐term comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, it remains unclear when vascular changes begin in this population. Carotid intima‐media thickness (cIMT), a validated, non‐invasive marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, may ...

Association between antibodies to carbamylated proteins and subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients carry a high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The excess of cardiovascular disease cannot be entirely explained by traditional risk factors and the immune system contributes to the development

High cholesterol absorption efficiency interferes with bile acid metabolism and cholesterol elimination from the body

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Elevated low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Variables of whole‐body cholesterol metabolism, for example, high cholesterol absorption efficiency, might also be atherogenic, whereas the role of bile acids is controversial.
