A Lipid-Structured Model of Atherosclerotic Plaque Macrophages with Lipid-Dependent Kinetics [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Atherosclerotic plaques are fatty growths in artery walls that cause heart attacks and strokes. Plaque formation is orchestrated by macrophages that are recruited to the artery wall to consume and remove blood-derived lipids, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL).

Extracellular matrix contributes to macrophage foam cell formation and atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2002
During early atherogenesis, low density lipoprotein (LDL) induces the accumulation of cholesterol and oxysterols in arterial macrophages, and in the subendothelial accumulation of atherogenic lipoproteins in extracellular matrix (ECM), takes place ...

Pathophysiology of elevated ascites fluid cholesterol in malignant ascites [PDF]

, 1992
The existence of marked elevations of ascitic fluid cholesterol has been observed in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis compared to patients with cirrhosis and has been found useful in differential diagnosis.

Liver Transplantation to Provide Low-Density-Lipoprotein Receptors and Lower Plasma Cholesterol in a Child with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]

, 1984
A six-year-old girl with severe hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis had two defective genes at the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor locus, as determined by biochemical studies of cultured fibroblasts.

Self-Organization and Chaos in the Metabolism of Hemostasis in a Blood Vessel [PDF]

Ukr. J. Phys., Vol. 61, N 7, p.648-655 (2016), 2017
A mathematical model of the metabolic process of formation of the hemostasis in a blood-carrying vessel is constructed. As distinct from the earlier developed model of the multienzyme prostacyclin-thromboxane system of blood, this model includes, for the first time, the influence of the level of "bad cholesterol", i.e., low-density lipoproteins (LDLs),

Maternal obesity is associated with the formation of small dense LDL and hypoadiponectinemia in the third trimester [PDF]

, 2013
Context: Maternal obesity is associated with high plasma triglyceride, poor vascular function, and an increased risk for pregnancy complications. In normal-weight pregnant women, higher triglyceride is associated with increased small, dense low-density ...

Oxysterols in Vascular Cells and Role in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Implication of Oxysterols and Phytosterols in Aging and Human Diseases, 1440, Springer International Publishing, pp.213-229, 2024, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology
Atherosclerosis is a major cardiovascular complication of diseases associated with elevated oxidative stress such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In these situations, low density lipoproteins (LDL) undergo oxidation. Oxidized LDL display proatherogenic activities through multiple and complex mechanisms which lead to dysfunctions of vascular ...

Blood rheology, cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiovascular disease: The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study [PDF]

, 2000
The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) showed that pravastatin reduced the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events in 6,595 middle-aged hypercholesterolaemic men aged 45-64 years without prior myocardial infarction followed for an ...

Effect of a novel nutraceutical combination on serum lipoprotein functional profile and circulating PCSK9 [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: A beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk may be obtained by improving lipid-related serum lipoprotein functions such as high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and serum cholesterol loading capacity (CLC) and by ...

Bifurcation analysis of a free boundary model of plaque formation associated with the cholesterol ratio [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol ratio has been shown a high correlation with the cardiovascular risk assessment. Is it possible to quantify the correlation mathematically? In this paper, we develop a bifurcation analysis for a mathematical model of the plaque formation with a free boundary in the early stage
