B13 Normal circulating NO2/NO3 levels in essential hypertensives with atherosclerotic vascular disease

Circulating Immune Complexes in Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease

Circulating microparticles: a potential prognostic marker for atherosclerotic vascular disease.

Although the presence of subcellular procoagulant particles in highly centrifuged plasma has been known for many years, it was not until 1967 that shed membrane procoagulant fragments from activated platelets were described by Wolf 1 as “platelet dust.” Since then, numerous studies have reported the in vitro release of vesicles from activated or apoptotic cells and their presence in human plasm...

Age dependence of the levels of plasma norepinephrine, aldosterone, renin activity and urinary vanillylmandelic acid in normal and essential hypertensives.

In the present study the upper reference limits (URLs) for resting plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine, serum aldosterone, plasma renin activity, aldosterone/renin activity ratio, as well as urinary vanillylmandelic acid in healthy Egyptian normotensive subjects over a range of ages (5-60 yr) were established. There was a significant age effect on plasma norepinephrine, UVMA, serum aldosterone a...

Effects of Anacetrapib in Patients with Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease.

BACKGROUND Patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease remain at high risk for cardiovascular events despite effective statin-based treatment of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. The inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) by anacetrapib reduces LDL cholesterol levels and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. However, trials of other CET...

C - Reactive Protein Levels in Patients with Periodontal Disease and Normal Subjects

Although periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease but some factors of acute inflammation phase are involved in this disease among which is the C-Reactive protein (CRP). To minimize its effects, anti-inflammatory drugs or non-pharmacological approaches such as oral hygiene is recommended. CRP can also be used for the prediction and early detection of periodontal disease. The aim of the pr...
