The beneficial effects of virgin olive oil against oxidative stress induced by hypercholesterolemia in rats

Acta sci., Health sci; 44 (), 2022
Cardiovascular disease(CVD) remains the major cause of mortality in the world, typically claiming a third of all deaths. The primary cause of CVD is atherosclerosis. Therefore, timely prevention and therapy of atherosclerosis are able to reduce the risk of the development of its clinical manif...

Imunização de camundongos LDLr-/- com peptídeo mimético da LDL eletronegativa: uma potencial estratégia terapêutica para a ateroscleros

Introdução: A aterosclerose é uma doença inflamatória crônica decorrente de alterações na parede das artérias de médio e grande calibre e associadas a diversos fatores de risco, dentre os quais destaca-se as hiperlipidemias, ou seja, o aumento plasmático das lipoproteínas, mas também outras ...

Effect of trans-resveratrol on oxidative stress biomarkers associated with atherosclerosis

Growing evidence indicates that oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis. In this context, the use of bioactive compounds with antioxidant action can bring health benefits, especially in the prevention and control of pathop...

Docosahexaenoic fatty acid nanoencapsulated with Anti-PECAM-1 as strategy to increase atherosclerotic plaque stability

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of mortality worldwide, being the ischemic heart disease responsible for 85% of deaths. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation of the arteries that underlies ischemic forms of CVD and involves the innate and adaptive immune systems, from initial fatty ...

Níveis de Interleucina-35 em Pacientes com Doença Arterial Coronariana Estável

Arq. bras. cardiol; 118 (2), 2022
Resumo Fundamento Foi demonstrado que as subunidades de interleucina-35 (IL-35) estão fortemente expressas nas placas ateroscleróticas em humanos. Assim, considera-se que elas têm um papel na aterosclerose. Objetivos Neste estudo, os níveis de IL-35 foram comparados com o grupo controle em pacien...

Cannabis and cannabinoids as an alternative remedy in metabolic syndrome

Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS), an epidemic defined as a group of interconnected physiological, biochemistry, clinical, and metabolic factors, directly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, and death. MetS therapy includes diet, physical exercise, and a poly-...

Are statins a risk factor in patients with atherosclerosis?

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: Statins inhibit cholesterol synthesis, but also have other pleiotropic effects. There are indications that they affect macrophage survival trough the regulation of apoptosis. We analyzed 50 samples of aortic wall, selected based on statins in patients' therapy (n=25, Th-S group) or statin-free t...
