Background: The assumption that atherosclerosis involves an autoimmune response to
oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is based on the presence of immunocompetent cells and …

Introduction Cardiac-cerebral vascular diseases (CCVDs) are global health problems due to
the characteristic of high mortality. It is found that atherosclerosis (AS), a main cause of …

The present paradigm of atherogenesis proposes that low density lipoproteins (LDLs) are
trapped in subendothelial space of the vascular wall where they are oxidized. Previously, we …

Oxidized LDL is highly atherogenic as it stimulates macrophage cholesterol accumulation
and foam cell formation, it is cytotoxic to cells of the arterial wall and it stimulates …

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between monocyte to high-
density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and carotid atherosclerostic plaque in patients …

Modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a well-known risk marker for diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that native LDL particles …

Background Epidemiological studies and animal experiments have provided evidence
supporting the role of lipid peroxidation in atherogenesis and cardiovascular diseases …

Aims: To determine whether lipoprotein subclasses are associated with the carotid intima-
media thickness (IMT) in Chinese population. Patients & methods: Total cholesterol (TC) …

Background Exercise-based rehabilitation improves general cardiovascular fitness. The
impact on the microvascular system has been studied in less detail. We measured changes …

The examination of monocyte phagocytosis of modified lipoproteins is important to the
understanding of plaque deposition and the development of atherosclerosis. Current …
