Methotrexate in Atherogenesis and Cholesterol Metabolism
Methotrexate is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis which itself is linked to increased cardiovascular risk. Treatments that target inflammation may also impact the cardiovascular system. While methotrexate improves cardiovascular risk, inhibition of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme promotes atherosclerosis. These o...
متن کاملInhibition of Cholesterol-Induced Coronary Atherogenesis
The experimental designs and technics were generally in accord with the standardized procedures developed by the department's atherosclerosis research group.3 Altogether, four series of chronic experiments were completed, varying in duration from 5 to 11 weeks, and utilizing a total of 129 fully grown, sexually mature chickens, age 24 to 34 weeks at the onset of the study (table 1). Essentially...
متن کاملSusceptibility of the ovariectomized hen to cholesterol-induced coronary atherogenesis.
PREVIOUS studies from this department demonstrated that exogenous estrogens protected cockerels against cholesterol-induced coronary atherogenesis." Further, mature, egg-producing hens, intact or oviduct-ligated, were also markedly resistant to the development of diet-induced coronary lesions. It was postulated that this protection was a resultant of the endogenous, physiologic estrogen secreti...
متن کاملNo effect of nifedipine on atherogenesis in cholesterol-fed rabbits.
It was recently reported that the calcium antagonist nifedipine suppresses aortic cholesterol accumulation in cholesterol-fed rabbits without reducing hypercholesterolemia. We extended this study on plasma lipoprotein levels and aortic influx of cholesteryl ester. We gave 40 mg per day of nifedipine orally to 17 rabbits fed a 2% cholesterol diet for 8 weeks. For the same period of time 15 contr...
متن کاملEffects of propranolol on atherogenesis in the cholesterol-fed rabbit.
These studies have examined the effects of dl-propranolol, d-propranolol, and metoprolol on aortic atherogenesis in the cholesterol-fed rabbit and have correlated the vascular effects of the drugs with their influence on blood pressure, plasma lipids and lipoproteins, arterial metabolism, and arterial permeability. dl-Propranolol, and, to a lesser extent, d-propranolol, used in clinically relev...
