Effect of sitosterol on the concentration of serum lipids in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

چکیده
The oral administration of large amounts of sitosterol to patients with coronary atherosclerosis has resulted in statistically significant decrease in serum cholesterol in one half of the trial periods. However, because of the fluctuation of the serum cholesterol that occurs in patients with coronary atherosclerosis, further study will be necessary to demonstrate that the decrease in serum cholesterol coincident with sitosterol administration is not due to the lability of the serum lipids in this group of individuals.

ABSTRACT Free radicals and lipid peroxidation have been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Reactive Oxygen species can induce the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and LDL oxidation has been shown to be responsible for plaque formation in the vessel wall. However living cells and organisms are very well equipped with defense systems against the damaging...

Background: Inflammation is involved in development, progression, and complications of atherosclerotic disease. Clinical studies have indicated that the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), IL-18, and adhesion molecules correlates with the severity of atherosclerosis and can predict future cardiovascular events. Experimental studies have shown pentoxifylline (PTX) reduces these ...
