The Effect of Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) Ethanol Extract on LDL Cholesterol Levels and Foam Cell Number in the Aorta of Male Wistar Rats (Rattus norvegicus) Fed A High-Fat and High-Fructose Diet

JPSCR: Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Clinical Research
A diet high in saturated fat and fructose leads to dyslipidemia, increasing atherosclerosis risk. Although lipid-lowering medications are available, they have certain limitations.

Oxidized LDL activates phospholipase A2 to supply fatty acids required for cholesterol esterification

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
We examined the roles of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in oxidized LDL (oxLDL)-induced cholesteryl ester formation in macrophages. In [3H]oleic acid-labeled RAW264.7 cells and mouse peritoneal macrophages, oxLDL induced [3H]cholesteryl oleate formation with an

Effectiveness of microwave processing approach and green blowing agents usage in foaming natural rubber

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2020
This study mainly concerns the role of foam heating process techniques and its impact on cellular micromorphology, density and gas liberation mechanism of natural rubber foam with distilled water as blowing agent. Three different modes of heating process

Smooth Muscle Cell—Macrophage Interactions Leading to Foam Cell Formation in Atherosclerosis: Location, Location, Location

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Cholesterol-overloaded cells or “foam cells” in the artery wall are the biochemical hallmark of atherosclerosis, and are responsible for much of the growth, inflammation and susceptibility to rupture of atherosclerotic lesions.

Spiromastixones Inhibit Foam Cell Formation via Regulation of Cholesterol Efflux and Uptake in RAW264.7 Macrophages

Marine Drugs, 2015
Bioassay-guided evaluation shows that a deep sea-derived fungus, Spiromastix sp. MCCC 3A00308, possesses lipid-lowering activity. Chromatographic separation of a culture broth resulted in the isolation of 15 known depsidone-based analogues, labeled ...

Foam cells and the pathogenesis of kidney disease [PDF]

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2015
Foam cells in human glomeruli can be encountered in various renal diseases including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy. Although foam cells are key participants in atherosclerosis, surprisingly little is known about their pathogenicity in the kidney. We review our understanding (or lack thereof) of foam cells in the kidney, as
