Age-related effects on atherogenesis and scavenger enzymes of intracranial and extracranial arteries in men without classic risk factors for atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atherosclerosis occurs later and is less extensive in intracranial arteries than in extracranial arteries. However, the mechanisms responsible are poorly understood. A previous study has suggested a better antioxidant protection of intracranial arteries. METHODS To assess the influence of age on arterial activity of antioxidant enzymes and atherogenesis, we compared int...
متن کاملAssociation between the Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis and Diverticular Bleeding
Background and purpose: Diverticulosis is a major health problem in middle-aged and older adults. The cause of bleeding in the diverticulum is not clear, but arteriolar changes are considered as the main pathogenesis of diverticular bleeding. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between the risk factors for atherosclerosis and diverticular bleeding. Materials and methods: In this...
متن کاملAntioxidant vitamin status and carotid atherosclerosis in the elderly.
BACKGROUND The oxidative modification of LDL is thought to play a crucial role in the initiation of atherosclerosis. Antioxidant vitamins can protect LDL from oxidation, and high intakes or blood concentrations of these vitamins have been linked with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Few data are available on the importance of antioxidant vitamins in earlier stages of atherogenesis. O...
متن کاملبررسی ذخیره آهن در بیماران تحت آنژیوگرافی عروق کرونر
Background: Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between higher body iron stores and coronary artery disease. It is believed that inflammation and oxidation are important mechanisms involved in the complex pathological process of atherogenesis. Free radical production is catalyzed and accelerated in the presence of iron. The determination of plasma ferritin levels is a convenie...
متن کاملIndividual variation in susceptibility to extracranial carotid atherosclerosis.
Risk factors for coronary disease were assessed and noninvasive methods were used to quantitate the extent of extracranial carotid atherosclerosis in 382 patients free of cerebrovascular symptoms. The ages of the participants ranged from 27 to 80 years. There were 183 men and 199 women, 30 black and 352 white persons. All patients had heart disease symptoms and were hospitalized for coronary an...
