Protective Immunity in Atherosclerosis
… (LDL) are believed to promote development of atherosclerosis. Proinflammatory immune responses can be counterbalanced by immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs). Immunizations of hypercholesterolemic mice with oxidized LDL or peptides derived from the protein part of LDL, apoB-100, …

Differentially expressed genes in aortic cells from atherosclerosis-resistant and atherosclerosis-susceptible pigeons
<p>Representational Difference Analysis (RDA) was used to identify genes that were differentially expressed between White Carneau (WC) and Show Racer (SR) pigeon aortic smooth muscle cells. The gene(s) responsible for atherosclerotic resistance in cultured SR smooth muscle cells (SMC) were …

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Atherosclerosis
… be crucial for the assessment of the severity of atherosclerosis. High-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an emerging imaging technique, which has shown great promise in providing detailed information about plaque pathobiology besides luminal stenosis. Using a special contrast medium …

The Association of Subclinical Atherosclerosis with Incident Heart Failure: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Background: Atherosclerosis plays a central role in the pathophysiology of coronary heart disease (CHD), which is believed to be the most common etiology for heart failure (HF). Greater carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, is associated with left …

ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION IN THALASSEMIA
… a possible role of ineffective erythropoiesis in atherosclerosis pathophysiology. Conclusion In conclusion, this is the largest group of beta thalassemia patients evaluated for atherosclerosis and its risk factors. Atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular disease affects about 1 out of 5 subjects in …

Role of Macrophage Apoptosis in Atherosclerosis.
… of macrophage apoptosis in the development of atherosclerosis remains to be elucidated. Elevated expression of Bax, one of the pivotal pro-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family, has been found in human atherosclerotic plaques. Activation of Bax also occurs in free cholesterol-loaded and …

Studies of Atherosclerosis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
… women with SLE is accelerated lupus-associated atherosclerosis (ALAA). The overarching hypothesis of this study is that the pro-inflammatory immune dysregulation characteristic of SLE is the underlying mechanism for ALAA. The goal was to further understanding of these underlying mechanisms …

IL-25 and B cells in atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of medium and large vessels of the body which is mainly characterized by the formation of lipid rich plaques within the arterial tissue. It is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease leading to clinical manifestations of coronary artery and …

Application of magnetic resonance elastography to atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is the root cause of a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. Although it is a global arterial disease, some of the most severe consequences, heart attack and stroke, are caused by ischemia due to local plaque rupture. The risk of rupture is related to the mechanical properties of …

The Relationship of Coronary Atherosclerosis Progression to Cognition
Subclinical atherosclerosis has been linked to poorer cognitive performance. Most of the literature investigating the relationship between atherosclerosis and cognitive functioning has utilized the carotid artery as an indicator. Few studies have examined the association between cognitive …

A murine model of developmental programming of atherosclerosis
… milieu. \r\nCoronary artery disease secondary to atherosclerosis remains a major cause of death in most societies. Limited human studies indicate a strong association between maternal hypercholesterolemia and increased rates of formation of atherosclerotic lesions in children. It is conceivable …
