Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) induces a wide range of cellular
responses to produce atherosclerotic lesion, but key factors determining the
response are not understood. In this study, purified...
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as well as a lipid disorder. Atherosclerotic plaque formed in vessel walls may cause ischemia, and the rupture of vulnerable plaque may result in fatal...
It has been hypothesized that blood infusion of reconstituted HDL (rHDL) is a possible therapeutic strategy for the treatment of coronary artery disese. To compare short-term anti-inflammatory activity of wildtype...
The balance between tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) regulates fibrinolysis. PAI-1 expression increases in atherosclerotic arteries and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are one...
BACKGROUND: Scavenger receptors are thought to be involved in the recognition of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and oxidized erythrocyte (oxRBC). However, there are controversies about the kind of receptors...
