The carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) can reflect early atherosclerosis. Oxidative
modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) leads to the formation of several immunogenic …

Aim: We aimed to study the relationship of elevated C reactive protein (CRP) levels (1.0-2.9
or≥ 3.0 mg/L) with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in Chinese adults with normal low …

Background: Atherosclerosis is characterized by infiltration of inflammatory cells from
circulating blood. Blood cell activation could play an important role in plaque formation …

Background We investigated the associations between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(LDL-C) to high-density cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (LDL-C/HDL-C) with structural and …

Exercise is associated with changes in lipids that may protect against coronary heart
disease (CHD). In this study of 28 triathletes, we analyzed acute changes in serum lipid and …

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is
associated with the development of atherosclerosis in vivo. Because endothelial injury …

Objective We investigated the association between cholesterol across the LDL density
range and in the VLDL and IDL particles with the prevalence of inflammatory cells in …

Physical activity is known to induce oxidative stress in individuals subjected to intense
exercise. In this study, we investigated the lipoprotein profile and the plasma antioxidant …

This study was conducted to investigate the role of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in
monocyte/mononuclear cell (MNC) activation during atherogenesis. First, the activity of …

Carotid atherosclerosis is a main risk factor for ischemic stroke. Plaque instability is
determined by the morphological characteristics of the plaque and can be characterized by …
