Immunopathogenesis of atherosclerosis: endotoxin accelerates atherosclerosis in rabbits on hypercholesterolemic diet.

2001

Background—On the basis of our concept that atherosclerosis has an immunopathological background, we tested whether activation of the innate immune system influences its progression.Methods and Results—Hypercholesterolemic (0.5% wt/wt diet) rabbits received either repeated intravenous injections of endotoxin (Escherichia colilipopolysaccharide 1.25 to 2.5 μg, once per week) or a self-limiting cutaneousStaphylococcus aureusinfection with or without a quinolone antibiotic. Measured laboratory parameters, including LDL and HDL cholesterols, were similar in the different groups of hypercholesterolemic animals. All endotoxin-treated animals developed transient episodes of fever after endotoxin a…

The role of red yeast rice (RYR) supplementation in plasma cholesterol control: A review and expert opinion.

2019

1. Preamble : Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) [1]. Increased levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and many clinical trials have shown that reducing LDL-C levels significantly reduced the CHD and CVD risk [[2], [3], [4], [5]]. Thus LDL-C-lowering is the main approach for the management of cardiovascular disease. Current guidelines suggest LDL-C levels targets based on the individual CV risk; such targets can be achieved by several means, which include both lifestyle changes and pharmacological approaches [6], with statins being the cornerstone …

Efecto del género y de la obesidad en la lipemia posprandial en sujetos sanos normolipidémicos no diabéticos y sujetos con hiperlipemia familiar comb…

2006

Introduccion Un nuevo metodo basado en la autodeterminacion de trigliceridos (TG) capilares permite un mejor conocimiento de la lipemia posprandial (LP). Los objetivos de nuestro estudio son analizar el efecto del genero y la obesidad sobre la LP valorada por medicion capilar de TG diurnos mediante Accutrend GCT® en sujetos sanos y sujetos con hiperlipemia familiar combinada (HFC). Material y metodos Hemos estudiado a 23 sujetos con HFC no relacionados entre si (10 hombres) y a 45 sujetos (29 hombres) normolipidemicos no diabeticos. Todos ellos realizaron tres perfiles diarios de TG capilares durante una semana. Resultados En los sujetos sanos normolipidemicos no diabeticos encontramos valo…
