The endothelium is involved in many of the processes related to the development of
atherosclerosis, which is considered an inflammatory disease. Actually, traditional risk …

For many years, it has been clear that a Western diet rich in saturated fats and sugars
promotes an inflammatory environment predisposing a person to chronic cardiometabolic …

Scope Fatty acids (FAs) may affect endothelial cell (EC) function, influencing atherogenesis
and inflammatory processes. Palmitoleic acid (POA) has been described as an anti …

Abstract Context: Free fatty acids (FFAs) are associated with several cardiovascular risk
factors and exert harmful effects on the myocardium. Objective: The aim of our study was to …

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipid metabolism and responsible for catalyzing
lipolysis of triglycerides in lipoproteins. LPL is produced mainly in adipose tissue, skeletal …

High nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations, as observed in the metabolic syndrome,
trigger apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Since endothelial apoptosis may …

Free fatty acids (FFAs) serve as physiologically important energy substrates and their
release from the adipose tissue by lipolysis is regulated according to the energy demands of …

Aims Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most common fatal cardiovascular event. Free fatty
acids (FFAs) exert several harmful effects on the myocardium and may therefore contribute …

Objective—Despite a wealth of experimental data in animal models, the independent
association of insulin resistance with early carotid atherosclerosis in man has not been …

Objective—Monocyte proinflammatory activity has been demonstrated in obesity, insulin
resistance, and type 2 diabetes, metabolic conditions that are frequently associated with …
