OBJECTIVE: Nitric oxide (NO), catalyzed by inducible NO synthase (iNOS), may be
important in the pathophysiologic characteristics of many vascular diseases. Although there …

Inflammation has been implicated as a contributing factor in the development of abdominal
aortic aneurysms (AAA). Quercetin, a natural flavonoid with anti-inflammatory properties, is …

To estimate when an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) may rupture, it is necessary to
understand the forces responsible for this event. We investigated the wall stresses in an AAA …

The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is a complex process in which
atherosclerosis and inflammation play a leading role. Cytokines are important mediators of …

Objectives to investigate the presence of Chlamydia pneumoniae in the wall of abdominal
aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and in the aortas of patients without a history of cardiovascular …

Cytosol levels of cytokines [interleukins 1b, 6, 8 (IL-1b, 6, 8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)]
in aneurysm walls were evaluated in a prospective non-randomized study of 57 patients …

There is growing interest in the role of matrix metalloproteinasesin vascular diseases. These
conditions are often characterized by excessive tissue remodelling, and increased matrix …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) involve slow proteolysis and loss of structural matrix
components (collagen and elastin), which lead to wall thinning, weakening and ultimate …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) represent a multifactorial, proteolytic disorder involving
disintegration of the matrix structure within the AAA wall. Intrinsic deficiency of adult vascular …
