Abstract:

Atherosclerosis has serious role in coronary arteries disease,so it is important to establish effective strategies for prevention or even treatment of atherosclerosis. Adiponectin, as one of the most abundant adipokines, has insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. Disturbed adiponectin actions through its receptor, (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) may be involved in atherosclerosis development. Some adiponectin effects are mediated by AMPK and PPAR-α signaling. AdipoRon is an orally active synthetic molecule which can bind to AdipoR1, Adipo R2 and activate them. AdipoRon can activate AdipoR1-AMPK- PGC-1α pathway and AdipoR2-PPAR-α pathway. Some studies indicated insulin sensitivity, anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative effect of AdipoRon. We hypothesize that AdipoRon has anti atherosclerotic effect and may suppress atherosclerosis processes. With confirmation the benefit role of AdipoRon on atherosclerosis, it may be used in patients at risk of atherosclerotic development.

CT scan: a benefit that may be evil.

Brazilian Journal of otorhinolaryngology 78 (5) SeptemBer/octoBer 2012 http://www.bjorl.org.br / e-mail: [email protected] Some weeks ago, I saw a 14-year old girl in my office, who had been submitted to surgery because of a congenital cholesteatoma. Looking at her chart, I saw that the surgery had been a success and she was bringing me a control computerized tomography (CT scan) six mont...

Plasma oxygen permeability may be a factor in atherosclerosis.

Plasma oxygen permeability measures how easily oxygen dissolves in and diffuses through blood plasma. There has long been evidence that artery wall hypoxia plays a role in atherogenesis. This paper reviews the influence that plasma oxygen permeability has on artery wall oxygenation and presents experimental evidence for a relationship between plasma oxygen permeability and clinically significan...

Infections may be causal in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

There is a universal lack of exposure response between degree of lipid lowering and the outcome in clinical and angiographic trials questioning the current view on atherogenesis. However, there are numerous observations and experiments suggesting that microorganisms may play a causal role. A clue is the fact that the lipoproteins constitute an innate immune system by binding and inactivating mi...

Acute lung injury: prevention may be the best medicine.

Acute lung injury affects a subset of hospitalized patients but is not universal. This syndrome can substantially delay ventilator liberation, prolong intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and increase mortality. As with many critical illness syndromes, the available treatment options are limited in number and impact. Once a patient develops lung injury, the best known strategy is supportive care. O...
