Function and distribution of circulating human PCSK9 expressed extrahepatically in transgenic mice
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is predominantly expressed in liver and regulates cholesterol metabolism by down regulating liver LDL receptor (LDLR) proteins.

The genetics of cardiovascular disease [PDF]
Recent advances in genotyping technology and insights into disease mechanisms have increased interest in the genetics of cardiovascular disease. Several candidate genes involved in cardiovascular diseases were identified from studies using animal models,

Cardiovascular risk profile and frailty in a population-based study of older British men. [PDF]
Frailty in older age is known to be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, the extent to which frailty is associated with the CVD risk profile has been little studied.

Experimental Rodent Models of Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases, as the most common non-communicable disease in the world, cause a high mortality rate today and bring a serious medical burden to countries worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Experimental rodent models are

Zebrafish Models of Cancer Therapy-Induced Cardiovascular Toxicity
Purpose of review: Both traditional and novel cancer therapies can cause cardiovascular toxicity in patients. In vivo models integrating both cardiovascular and cancer phenotypes allow for the study of on- and off-target mechanisms of toxicity arising ...

A method to construct a points system to predict cardiovascular disease considering repeated measures of risk factors [PDF]
Current predictive models for cardiovascular disease based on points systems use the baseline situation of the risk factors as independent variables. These models do not take into account the variability of the risk factors over time.
