Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a widely accepted index for assessing
atherosclerosis, and is known to be a risk indicator for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular …

Background: Exercise may affect lipid profile which in turn is related to inflammation,
although changes of ceramides, diacylglycerols-DAG and sphingomyelin-SM and their …

Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) has been implicated in atherogenesis on the basis of in vitro studies
and is present in atherosclerotic lesions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate whether changes in the level of
oxidized LDL (oxLDL) over 2-years contribute to the development of subclinical …

Metabolic alterations and cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, are associated
with lifestyle modifications, particularly the increase of physical inactivity and poor eating …

Background Despite lipid-lowering and antiplatelet therapy, the pattern of residual
lipoproteins seems relevant to long-term cardiovascular outcomes. This study aims to …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum
levels of malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MDA-LDL) and …

We studied the effect of regular intense aerobic exercise on the LDL susceptibility to
oxidation and the electronegative LDL proportion (LDL (−)). A group of 38 well-trained …

Low density lipoproteins (LDL) from hypertensive patients are more prone to in vitro
oxidation and undergo a more pronounced oxidation in vivo. Due to the pro-atherogenic …

Atherosclerosis is associated with low-grade inflammation involving circulating monocytes. It
has been shown that the levels of intermediate pro-inflammatory monocytes are associated …
