Cardiovascular Inflammation

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type I (HTLV-I) is a Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease

C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation in hemodialysis patients

Background: Hemodialysis patients are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Higher than expected cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population has been attributed to dislipidemia as well as inflammation. The causes of inflammation in hemodialysis patients are multifactorial. Several markers were used for the detection of inflammatory reaction in patients with chronic renal dise...

Effects of Ramadan Fasting on the Regulation of Inflammation

The month of Ramadan, as a model of intermittent fasting, is a valuable opportunity to investigate the effects of dietary modifications on human metabolism. Fasting improves insulin sensitivity, reduces atherogenic risk, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of different disorders including atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular di...

Does gallic acid improve cardiac function by attenuation of oxidative stress and inflammation in an elastase-induced lung injury?

Objective(s): Cardiovascular disease has an important role in mortality caused by lung injury. Emphysema is associated with impaired pulmonary gas exchange efficiency and airflow limitation associated with small airway inflammation. The aim was to evaluate the interactions between lung injury, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. Since gallic acid has antioxidant ...

Relationship between Spexin Neuropeptide and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review

Introduction: Spexin, a novel neuropeptide with diverse physiological functions, can be a cardiovascular disease risk assessment biomarker. This study investigated the association between serum spexin concentration and cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: A search was conducted to collect studies between January 2007 and March 2021 in the PubMed, Embas...

Cardiovascular effects of nitrergic system of the pedunculopon-tine tegmental nucleus in anesthetized rats

Objective(s): Nitric oxide (NO) is an important neurotransmitter in central nervous system involved in central cardiovascular regulation. The presence of NO in the pedunculopontine tegmental (PPT) nucleus has been shown, but its cardiovascular effect has not been determined. In the present study, the cardiovascular effect of NO in the PPT nucleus was evaluated. Materials and Methods: After indu...
