Numerous studies have shown that the formation of foam cells is of vital importance in the
process of atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of …

Aims The accumulation of lipids in macrophages contributes to the development of
atherosclerosis. Cholesterol efflux of lipid-loaded macrophages mediated by ATP binding …

Resveratrol has been shown to exert anti-atherosclerotic effects. 5'AMP-activated protein
kinase (AMPK) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) play key roles in foam cell …

Aims: γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter, acts on GABA
receptors to play an important role in the modulation of macrophage functions. The present …

Foam cells are the main pathological components of atherosclerosis. Therapies reducing
foam cell formation can effectively prevent atherosclerotic diseases and cardiovascular …

The accumulation of cholesterol in macrophages could induce the formation of foam cells
and increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis. We wonder if quercetin, one of …

Background Foam cell formation and apoptosis are closely associated with atherosclerosis
pathogenesis. We determined the effect of salidroside on oxidized low-density lipoprotein …

Cholesterol accumulation in macrophages leads to the formation of foam cells and
increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis. We have verified whether hydroxytyrosol …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation condition resulting from the interaction between
lipoproteins, monocyte-derived macrophages, T lymphocytes, and other cellular elements in …

Aims Accumulation of foam cells in the intima is a hallmark of early-stage atherosclerotic
lesions. Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) has been reported to exert anti-oxidative and anti …
