A lower serum cholesterol level was recently shown to be one of the causes of stroke in an epidemiological study. Spontaneously hypertensive rats stroke-prone (SHRSP) have lower serum cholesterol levels than normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). To elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the lower
Serum total cholesterol amounts in the stroke-prone hypertensive rat (SHRSP) strain are lower than in the normotensive control strain, Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat. To understand the strain difference, constitutive gene expression levels of hepatic cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes in male 8-week-old SHRSP
Spontaneously hypertensive rat (stroke-prone) (SHRSP) has an interestingly low serum cholesterol level due to a reduced biosynthesis of cholesterol in the liver (Iritani, N., Fukuda, E., Nara, Y., and Yamori, Y. (1977) Atherosclerosis 28, 217-222). In this study, we examined the mechanism underlying
Magnolia officinalis Rehder et Wilson is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that is used to treat various diseases such as neurosis, anxiety, and stroke. The main secondary metabolites in magnolia bark are phenolic compounds and terpenoids. Squalene synthase plays a significant role in catalyzing
Adenosine receptors (ARs) represent key drug targets in many human pathologies, including cardiovascular, neurologic, and inflammatory diseases. To overcome the very rapid metabolization of adenosine, metabolically stable AR agonists and antagonists were developed. However, few of these molecules
Reduced serum cholesterol content was recently reported to be one of the factors responsible for cerebral haemorrhage. Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) are known to have lower serum cholesterol content than normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). We previously reported that lower
There is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of severe neurological trauma, such as stroke and spinal cord injuries. However, many drugs with potential neuropharmacological activity, such as adenosine, are inefficient upon systemic administration because of their
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the Nation's leading killer for both men and women among all racial and ethnic groups. Development and progression of CVD is linked to the presence of risk factors such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. It is known that cholesterol is an
Dyslipidemia is a pathological alteration of serum lipid levels. The most common forms are either elevations of triglycerides or low density lipoprotein cholesterol associated with a reduction of high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Most frequently both forms of lipid disorders are combined.
Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by lipid accumulation in the vascular wall leading to myocardial infarction or stroke. Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor and current treatments are largely based on cholesterol lowering. In spite of proven efficacy of existing drugs, like

BACKGROUND
Available data are inconsistent regarding factors influencing plasma cholesterol homeostasis marker concentrations and their value in predicting subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) events.
RESULTS
To address this issue, the relationship between markers of cholesterol absorption
Introduction: Ambient air pollution is associated with premature death caused by heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer. Recent studies have suggested that ribonucleic acid (RNA) oxidation is
