Complete processing of type III collagen in atherosclerotic plaques.
The extent of processing of type III collagen is assessed, and the proportions of type I and III collagens are estimated in atherosclerotic plaques obtained from the carotid artery, common femoral artery, and aorta. The fraction of type III collagen that had retained its amino-terminal propeptide (pN-collagen) was 42% in the soluble extract but only 0.0081% in the insoluble residue. Taken toget...
متن کاملEffect of Helicobacter pylori DNA in human atherosclerotic plaques
Introduction: A number of studies have demonstrated that infectious mico organisms like helicobacter pylori may play a role in the process of atherosclerosis. We, here, aimed to investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori DNA in atherosclerotic plaques in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 85 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CAB...

متن کاملFe(III) distribution varies substantially within and between atherosclerotic plaques.
PURPOSE Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques are structurally weak and prone to rupture, presumably due to local oxidative stress. Redox active iron is linked to oxidative stress and the aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of Fe(III) in carotid plaques and its relation to vulnerability for rupture. METHODS Atherosclerotic plaques from 10 patients (three asymptomatic and seven ...
