atherosclerosis is the most common cause of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. various risk factors have been identified for atherosclerosis. recently, bacterial and viral organisms, which are involved in chronic inflammatory processes, have been also implicated in atherosclerosis development. individuals with a prior history of periodontal diseases and/or tooth loss are considered to be...

although primary chronic hypertension (htn) is increasingly common in adolescence, secondary forms of htn are more common among children. primary htn is associated with being overweight and/or a positive family history of htn. carotid intima-media thickness, a known risk factor for atherosclerosis is frequent in both adults and children with htn and other associated cardiovascular (cv) risk fac...

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 atheros...

abstract         background and objective: the relationship between diabetes mellitus and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases has been demonstrated. the aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid profile of epicardial adipose tissue in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease.          methods: in this study, 28 diabetic and 40 nondiabetic patients were evalua...

objective(s): in this study, for the first time, mf59 adjuvant was used to develop a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (cetp) vaccine. the efficacy of the vaccine was compared with the efficacy of cetp vaccine formulated with alum/cpg, the formulation that its immunogenicity has been already demonstrated in rabbit and mice. materials and methods: tetanus toxoid- cetp peptide (tt-cetp) was mixe...
