Lipid lowering by simvastatin induces regression of human atherosclerotic lesions: two years' follow-up by high-resolution noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Statins are widely used to treat hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerotic disease. Noninvasive MRI allows serial monitoring of atherosclerotic plaque size changes. Our aim was to investigate the effects of lipid lowering with simvastatin on atherosclerotic lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 44 aortic and 32 carotid artery plaques were detected in 21 asymptomatic hypercholester...

متن کاملLipid Lowering and Plaque Regression
T reatments designed to favorably affect the clinical impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) have two fundamental goals. The first goal is to diminish the symptomatic limitations imposed by arterial obstructive disease, in which the vessel's capacity to fully meet the varying oxygen demands of the myocardium is impaired. Vascular capacity may be abnormal because of a fixed flow-limiting corona...
متن کاملInhibitory Effect of Hydroalcoholic Extracts of Caltrop (Tribulus terrestris L.) on Germination and Growth of Avena fatua L., Chenopodium album L., Setaria viridis L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L.
Background: The use of allelopathic plant extracts as herbicide is being popularized in recent years. Objective: This research has been conducted to evaluate the allelopathic potential of caltrop (Tribulus terrestris L.) on seed germination and growth of Avena fatua L., Chenopodium album L., Setaria viridis L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L. Methods: This research was done to evalature the ef...
متن کاملAssociation of non-starch polysaccharides and ferulic acid in grain amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus L.) dietary fiber.
The association of ferulic acid, an alkali-extractable phenolic acid in amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus L., Amaranthaceae) insoluble fiber (trans-ferulic acid: 620 microg.g-1, cis-ferulic acid: 203 microg.g-1), and non-starch polysaccharides was investigated. Enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble amaranth fiber released several feruloylated oligosaccharides that were separated using Sephadex LH-20-ch...
