Methotrexate in Atherogenesis and Cholesterol Metabolism
Methotrexate is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis which itself is linked to increased cardiovascular risk. Treatments that target inflammation may also impact the cardiovascular system. While methotrexate improves cardiovascular risk, inhibition of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme promotes atherosclerosis. These o...
متن کاملBlood Pressure, Cholesterol Content of Serum and Tissues, and Atherogenesis in the Rat
Rats on a stock diet with added cholesterol, cholic acid, and thiouracil developed increased concentrations of cholesterol, total lipide, and beta lipoprotein in the serum, and an increased content of cholesterol in the liver and carcass, despite the fact that the diet produced a cessation of endogenous cholesterol synthesis. Rats with high serum lipide concentrations developed intimal lesions ...
متن کاملInhibition of Cholesterol-Induced Coronary Atherogenesis
The experimental designs and technics were generally in accord with the standardized procedures developed by the department's atherosclerosis research group.3 Altogether, four series of chronic experiments were completed, varying in duration from 5 to 11 weeks, and utilizing a total of 129 fully grown, sexually mature chickens, age 24 to 34 weeks at the onset of the study (table 1). Essentially...
متن کاملInfluence of serum cholesterol on atherogenesis and intimal hyperplasia after angioplasty: inhibition by amlodipine.
The objectives of the present study were to determine whether serum hypercholesterolemia (HC) promotes the development of spontaneous and angioplasty-induced lesions and whether amlodipine inhibits these lesions and cellular processes underlying their genesis. Rabbits were fed normal, 0.5%, or 2% cholesterol diets for 9 wk, which resulted in the development of increasing HC. After week one, bal...
متن کاملNo effect of nifedipine on atherogenesis in cholesterol-fed rabbits.
It was recently reported that the calcium antagonist nifedipine suppresses aortic cholesterol accumulation in cholesterol-fed rabbits without reducing hypercholesterolemia. We extended this study on plasma lipoprotein levels and aortic influx of cholesteryl ester. We gave 40 mg per day of nifedipine orally to 17 rabbits fed a 2% cholesterol diet for 8 weeks. For the same period of time 15 contr...
