(1) Background: The fundus examination is one of the best and popular methods in the
assessment of vascular status in the human body. Direct viewing of retinal vessels by …

Background Oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) is recognized as one of
the major processes involved in atherogenesis. The in vitro standardized measurement of …

This work presents a controlled study of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) structural changes due to in vitro oxidation with copper ions. The changes …

Residual risk of atherosclerosis remains high despite the use of lipid-lowering therapy with
statins. Nearinfrared spectroscopy intravascular ultrasound imaging (NIRS-IVUS) can …

Lesion composition plays a significant role in atherosclerotic lesion instability and rupture.
Current clinical techniques cannot fully characterize lesion composition or accurately identify …

Objectives: To characterize low-density lipoprotein (LDL) chemical composition and
oxidability in normolipidemic and dyslipidemic patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular …

Background Despite oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) plays important roles in the
pro-inflammatory and atherosclerotic processes, the relationships with metabolic and …

Vulnerable plaques, which are responsible for most acute ischemic events, are presently
invisible to x-ray angiography. Their primary morphological features include a thin or …

A method for monitoring low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation by low-level
chemiluminescence (LL-CL) is described in this study. The kinetic indices obtained with this …

We report the application of the Laguerre deconvolution technique (LDT) to the analysis of in-
vivo time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TR-LIFS) data and the …
