Objectives Essential hypertension is associated with impaired endothelium-dependent
vasodilation caused by oxygen free radical-induced nitric oxide (NO) breakdown. Since …

Antibody (Ab) titers to oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) have been found to be
independent predictors of the progression of carotid atherosclerosis. Ab titers against OxLDL …

Background Vascular endothelium, a provider of nitric oxide, is essential for the
maintenance of homeostasis in healthy vascular systems. Increased oxidative stress …

Low-density lipoprotein oxidation and antioxidant vitamins E and C were investigated in
dipper (nocturnal blood pressure fall 10%) and nondipper (nocturnal blood pressure fall< …

To investigate carotid haemodynamic characteristics in essential hypertensive patients with
left ventricular hypertrophy, we evaluated the structure and function as well as blood flow of …

Background and Purpose—Autoantibodies against oxidatively modified LDL have been
shown to be associated with atherosclerosis. Their possible pathogenic role is not yet fully …

Numerous studies have shown that elevated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol is the crucial factor for the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, and …

Objectives To investigate the possible relationship between circulating oxLDL and oxLDL
Ab concentrations in order to better understand the role of oxLDL Ab in atherosclerosis …

Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is well recognised as an inflammatory disorder that
is also influenced by oxidative stress. Beta-2-Glycoprotein-I (B2GPI) is a circulating plasma …

Dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis are common features in
atherosclerosis disease leading to stroke. However there are numerous diagnostic tools …
