Background: Several studies were pointed to oxidized LDL (OX-LDL) as one of the main immunogenic agents which have important roles in primary lesions of atherosclerosis. In this study, via immunization against OX-LDL with two different antigens in an animal model (rabbit) we tried to clear relation between immune system and atherosclerosis. Methods: LDL was isolated from healthy human plasma an...
New studies have introduced atherosclerosis as an inflammatory disorder. Usage of anti-inflammatory drugs thus can be useful in preventing atherosclerosis and anti-inflammatory herbal medicines without side effects seem desirable in this view.Amirkahiria Odorutissima (AO) (umbelliferae) is an Iranian flora being traditionally used a:> an antiinflammatory drug. This study assessed the effects o...
The raised fatty streak (fatty plaque) is the gross term for the lesion intermediate between the juvenile (flat) fatty streak and the raised lesion of atherosclerosis. We measured the percentage of intimal surface involved with flat fatty streaks, raised fatty streaks, and raised lesions in the aortas and right coronary arteries of 2876 autopsied persons aged 15 through 34 years who died of ext...
Atherosclerosis is the excess of fat and stiffness of arteries sidewalls in which specific areas of the circulatory system are involved, causing specific signs based on the involved area, the characteristics of the lesion, and the severity of involvement. The only factor necessary to cause atherosclerosis is the high level of LDL cholesterol. Today, drugs such as lovastatin, clofibrate, and Kly...
The concentration of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in human plasma is higher than any other steroid. Recent evidence has suggested an inverse relationship between plasma DHEA levels and the development of coronary atherosclerosis in humans. We used the cholesterol-fed rabbit model to investigate whether DHEA feeding would diminish aortic fatty streak formation in this model. Fifteen N...
The present concept of pathogenesis of hypertension and atherosclerosis is based in response to injury hypothesis. This injury later may alter the functional characteristics of the endothelium leaving endothelial cell – cell nondisjunction and endothelial retraction exposing the underlying connective tissue and accumulation of foam cells such as macrophages, that form the first and ubiquitous l...
The current study tests whether hypercholesterolemia influences the distribution of endothelial cell microfilaments during the initiation and growth of fatty streak-type lesions. We classified the lesions occurring over a 20-week period into four types based on the location and extent of macrophage infiltration observed microscopically. The earliest lesion was characterized by leukocytes adhere...
Introduction: Atherosclerosis could be deemed as a chronic, progressive, and inflammatory disease. It has been well-documented that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) can reduce the risk of the atherosclerosis occurrence through exerting some anti-atherogenic mechanisms. In recent years, the strong evidence has suggested that paraoxonase 1 (PON1) may contribute to antioxidant properties of HDL. In ...
BACKGROUND Research supports a beneficial effect of physiological testosterone on cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms by which testosterone produces these effects have yet to be elucidated. The testicular feminized (Tfm) mouse exhibits a nonfunctional androgen receptor and low circulating testosterone concentrations. We used the Tfm mouse to determine whether testosterone modulates atheroma ...
