| Increased Expression of Visfatin in Macrophages of Human Unstable Carotid and Coronary Atherosclerosis | | Atherosclerosis/Lipids News -- 2007-03-05 | Circulation
Tuva B. Dahl, MSc., et al. – Although the participation of inflammation in atherogenesis is widely recognized, the identification of the different components has not been clarified. In particular, the role of inflammation in plaque destabilization is not fully understood...Conclusion: Our findings suggest that visfatin should be regarded as an inflammatory mediator, localized to foam cell macrophages within unstable atherosclerotic lesions, that potentially plays a role in plaque destabilization...more >> |
| Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Atherosclerosis | | Atherosclerosis/Lipids News -- 2007-03-02 | Circulation Research
Nageswara R. Madamanchi, et al. – Increased production of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria, accumulation of mitochondrial DNA damage, and progressive respiratory chain dysfunction are associated with atherosclerosis or cardiomyopathy in human investigations and animal models of oxidative stress...more >> |
| Characterization of the Natural Killer T-Cell Response in an Adoptive Transfer Model of Atherosclerosis | | Atherosclerosis/Lipids News -- 2007-03-02 | American Journal of Pathology
Paul A. VanderLaan, et al. - Natural killer T (NKT) cells have recently been implicated in atherogenesis, primarily for their ability to recognize and respond to lipid antigens. Because the atherosclerotic lesion is characterized by the retention and modification of lipids in the vascular wall, NKT cells may be involved in promoting the local vascular inflammatory response...more >> |
| Effects of anethum graveolens and garlic on lipid profile in hyperlipidemic patients | | Atherosclerosis/Lipids News -- 2007-03-05 | Lipids in Health and Disease
Javad Kojuri, et al. – Hyperlipidemia as a major risk factor of atherosclerosis is treated with different drugs...Conclusion: Anethum has no significant effect on lipid profile, but garlic tablet has significant favorable effect on cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol. Garlic may play an important role in therapy of hypercholesterolemia...more >> |
| Dietary -linolenic acid inhibits proinflammatory cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in hypercholesterolemic subjects | | Atherosclerosis/Lipids News -- 2007-03-05 | American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Guixiang Zhao, et al. – Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. We previously reported that a diet high in alpha linolenic acid (ALA) reduces lipid and inflammatory cardiovascular disease risk factors in hypercholesterolemic subjects...Conclusion: Increased intakes of dietary ALA elicit antiinflammatory effects by inhibiting IL-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha production in cultured PBMCs. Changes in PBMC ALA and eicosapentaenoic acid (derived from dietary ALA) are associated with beneficial changes in TNF-alpha release...more >> |
| Relation of Osteoprotegerin to Coronary Calcium and Aortic Plaque | | Atherosclerosis/Lipids News -- 2007-03-02 | American Journal of Cardiology
Moeen Abedin MD., et al. – Circulating osteoprotegerin (OPG) has been shown to be elevated in patients with vascular disease. The role of OPG as a biomarker for atherosclerosis in a large, unselected population is not well known...Conclusion: Plasma OPG is independently associated with CAC and aortic plaque in an unselected population, suggesting it may be a novel biomarker for atherosclerosis in humans...more >> |
| How To Trap Heart Attack-Inducing Lipoproteins In The Blood | | Cholesterol News From Medical News Today -- 2007-01-05 | | Atherosclerosis is a disease of the blood vessels that causes many problems, including heart attacks. It is caused by a buildup of fat (lipid)-containing macrophages (the rubbish-collecting cells of the immune system) in the arteries. The presence in the blood of high levels of remnant lipoproteins, cholesterol-rich particles that are produced as the large lipoprotein complexes that transport lipids around the body are degraded, potently promotes the development of atherosclerosis.

| Cholesterol In Stroke Patients Exceeds National Guidelines | | Cholesterol News From Medical News Today -- 2007-03-02 | | Many stroke patients have cholesterol higher than national guidelines recommend that, if managed, may have prevented the stroke from happening, according to a study published in the February 27, 2007, issue of Neurology®, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study of 1,040 people hospitalized for stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) found that 27 percent had cholesterol higher than recommended by national guidelines.

| CDC Report Provides First State-Specific Data On Persons Living With Heart Disease | | Cholesterol News From Medical News Today -- 2007-02-16 | | The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released a report that finds a wide range of variation in the prevalence of coronary heart disease (a narrowing of the arteries that feed the heart), heart attack and angina (chest pain that occurs when the heart does not get enough blood). The report provides the first ever information on the percentage of people living with heart disease in all 50 states and U.S. territories. [click link for full article]...more >> |
| HDL Is The New Frontier For Beating Heart Disease | | Cholesterol News From Medical News Today -- 2007-01-23 | | Most people fixate on the wrong number in the cholesterol equation for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
