Treatment of elevated cholesterol.
As we age, cholesterol builds up in the arteries of the heart and neck, placing us at risk for heart attacks, strokes, and premature death. Treatment that lowers cholesterol in the blood has therefore become the cornerstone of prevention of future heart attack, stroke, and death, both in persons who definitely have heart disease and in those who are at risk of developing it in the future. Evide...
متن کاملPrevalence of Elevated Non-HDL Cholesterol among Patients with Diabetes in An Iranian Population
Background and Aims: Non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which reflects all cholesterol present in potentially atherogenic lipoprotein particles, might be a useful marker of atherosclerosis in diabetic subjects. In the present study, we evaluated the prevalence of high non-HDL-C in patients with dyslipidemia in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects following LDL-C assessment as t...
متن کاملThe effect of vitamin C supplementation on blood cholesterol level in high cholesterol-fed rats
سابقه و هدف: هیپرکلسترولمی یکی از فاکتورهای خطر بیماریهای قلبی ـ عروقی است و افزایش کلسترول خون سلامت عمومی را تحت تاثیر قرار داده و میزان مرگ و میر ناشی از بیماریهای قلبی ـ عروقی را افزایش میدهد. تغذیه با رژیم پرکلسترول باعث افزایش میزان LDL و همچنین کاهش فعالیت گیرندههای LDL در کبد میشود. اکسیداسیون لیپوپروتئین موجود در دیواره عروق، باعث پیشرفت بیماری آتروسکلروز میشود. شواهد چندی حاکی ...
متن کاملSimvastatin Blocks Blood-Brain Barrier Disruptions Induced by Elevated Cholesterol Both In Vivo and In Vitro
Background. Hypercholesterolemia and disruptions of the blood brain barrier (BBB) have been implicated as underlying mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Simvastatin therapy may be of benefit in treating AD; however, its mechanism has not been yet fully understood. Objective. To explore whether simvastatin could block disruption of BBB induced by cholesterol both in vivo ...
متن کاملReduction of blood pressure, plasma cholesterol, and atherosclerosis by elevated endothelial nitric oxide.
In the vascular system, nitric oxide is generated by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS). NO has pleiotropic effects, most of which are believed to be atheroprotective. Therefore, it has been argued that patients suffering from cardiovascular disease could benefit from an increase in eNOS activity. However, increased NO production can cause oxidative damage, cell toxicity, and apoptosis and hence co...
