BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the most common type in cardiovascular disease. Due to its complex pathogenesis, the exact etiology of AS is unclear. circRNA has been shown to play an essential role in most diseases. However, the underlying mechanism of circRNA in AS has been not understood clearly. ...
The apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene contains several polymorphic sites described as risk modifiers for cardiovascular events. The objective of this study was to verify the association of the classic APOB Xba I polymorphism (rs693) with atherosclerotic risk factors in a segment of the Brazilian elderly popul...
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the main pathological basis of coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and peripheral vascular disease, which seriously endanger people's life and health. In recent years, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been found to be involved in gene expression regulation, but...
Animal models of diseases are invaluable tools of modern medicine. More than forty years have passed since the first successful experiments and the spectrum of available models, as well as the list of methods for creating them, have expanded dramatically. The major step forward in creating specific disea...
Introducción: La aterosclerosis, es la principal causa de las llamadas Grandes Crisis Ateroscleróticas.
Objetivo: Identificar familias aterovulnerables mediante la búsqueda de factores de riesgo y señales tempranas y tardías de aterosclerosis. Método: Se realizó, hace doce años, un estudio descri...
ABSTRACT The complement system has been confirmed to play an increasingly important role in ischemic stroke (IS). This study aimed to determine whether the single-nucleotide polymorphism of the complement 5 (C5) gene independently influences the occurrence, severity, and long-term outcome of IS in Chines...
ABSTRACT Objective Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) polymorphisms are associated with an increased susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. PON1 Q192R polymorphism (rs662) partially determine PON1 hydrolytic activity and protect against oxidation of LDL and HDL. This study aimed to delineate the association of PO...
As doenças decorrentes da aterosclerose apresentam uma prevalência elevada entre pacientes submetidos a transplante de órgãos sólidos comparativamente à população em geral. Os motivos para esta discrepância podem estar na maior exposição dos pacientes transplantados a fatores de risco cardiova...
