Pleiotropic Effects of brz

Resonance CARS in BrZ

Intense CARS spectra were observed in bromine vapour, which could be attributed to resonances in the molecular as well as atomic species. From accurate measurements of frequency positions and polarization dependencies a vibrational overtone sequence Av=2-12, characteristic for resonance CARS, was identified for Br,. Doublets of rotational lines reveal enhancement by discrete transitions between...

[Pleiotropic effects of statins].

Results of numerous epidemiologic studies indicate that elevated serum cholesterol, especially the LDL fraction, is a major cause of coronary heart disease (CHD). Epidemiologic and angiographic evidence from primary and secondary prevention studies involving several HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) indicate that decreasing elevated serum cholesterol concentration (specifically LDL-cholest...

Pleiotropic effects of pitavastatin

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) are established first line treatments for hypercholesterolaemia. In addition to the direct effects of statins in reducing concentrations of atherogenic low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), several studies have indicated that the beneficial effects of statins may be due to some of their cholesterol-independent...

Pleiotropic effects of statins

The lipid-lowering actions of statins are well known. However, recent studies provide compelling evidence that the clinical benefits of statin therapy may also be attributed to mechanisms independent of their cholesterol-lowering effects. These non-lipid-lowering (pleiotropic) effects of statin therapy are believed to include antiinflammatory actions, property to reverse endothelial dysfunction...
