Infectious Agents in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases through Oxidative Stress
Accumulating evidence demonstrates that vascular oxidative stress is a critical feature of atherosclerotic process, potentially triggered by several infectious agents that are considered as risk co-factors for the atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). C. pneumoniae has been shown to upregulate multiple enzymatic systems capable of producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as NADPH ...
متن کاملOxidative Stress and Cardiovascular Diseases
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are reactive oxygen metabolites resulting from one-electron reduction of oxygen under the influence of a variety of enzymes. In aerobic organisms, they are produced as a byproduct of many cellular metabolic pathways and participate in some processes necessary for the normal life and functioning of the cells, but also in a large number of pathological processes. Oxi...
متن کاملOxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cardiovascular Diseases
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) include a wide variety of molecules and free radicals derived from molecular oxygen. O2 being highly electrophilic can be reduced by one electron at a time producing relatively stable intermediates, such as superoxide anion (O2 ̄), precursor of most ROS and a relevant mediator in many biological reactions. Dismutation of O2 ̄ produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), whic...
متن کاملOxidative Stress and Salvia miltiorrhiza in Aging-Associated Cardiovascular Diseases
Aging-associated cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have some risk factors that are closely related to oxidative stress. Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM) has been used commonly to treat CVDs for hundreds of years in the Chinese community. We aimed to explore the effects of SM on oxidative stress in aging-associated CVDs. Through literature searches using Medicine, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, CINAHL, ...
متن کاملCysteine Protease Cathepsins in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is an inflammatory disease characterized by extensive arterial wall matrix protein degradation. Cysteine protease cathepsins play a pivotal role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and have been implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis-based cardiovascular diseases. An imbalance in expression between cathepsins (such as...
