triacylglycerol/stroke

Atorvastatin decreases inflammation and thrombogenesis in patients with carotid artery plaque. Atorvastatin is administered to lower lipid levels, but its anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombogenic effects remain unclear. Eighty-nine patients from northeastern China with acute ischemic stroke caused by

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with the Driselase-treated fraction (DF) of rice bran and ferulic acid (FA) on hypertension and glucose and lipid metabolism in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). Male SHRSP at 4 weeks of age were

High triacylglycerol (TAG) levels may predict vascular risk. The effect of a statin-induced reduction in TAG levels, irrespective of HDL-C increase, on clinical outcome has not yet been addressed by an endpoint study in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The GREACE study compared usual with

OBJECTIVE To study the association of integrin alpha-2 (ITGA2) gene C807T, integrin beta-3 (ITGB3) gene T176C polymorphisms with ischemic stroke and the effect of the polymorphisms on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. METHODS Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism

BACKGROUND Internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) causes high annual rates of mortality and morbidity. It has been established that atherosclerosis is the normal cause of ICAO. As the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis may involve blood lipids, inflammatory factors and other biomarkers, the aim of

Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) are utilized as models for study of the pathogenesis of not only stroke and cardiovascular disorders but also atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. Basic information on the profiles of fatty acids and lipid classes in the liver is indispensable

BACKGROUND The ischemic stroke is a rare problem in childhood. Cardiac problems, arteriopathy, coaguopathies or dyslipidemia are traditional risk factors for stroke. The aim of the present study was to assess the relations between levels of lipids and fibrinogen and stroke among Polish

AceDoPC^® is a structured glycerophospholipid that targets the brain with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and is neuroprotective in the experimental ischemic stroke. AceDoPC^® is a stabilized form of the physiological 2-DHA-LysoPC with an acetyl group at the sn1 position;

Observations on humans, on rats in vivo, and on isolated perfused rat livers indicate that insulin stimulates hepatic very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-TAG secretion when the liver is chronically exposed to the hormone. They suggest that frequent stimulation of insulin secretion throughout the

The performance of isolated working rabbit hearts perfused with Krebs-Henseleit (KH) buffer was compared with those in which the buffer was supplemented with washed human red blood cells (KH + RBC) at a hematocrit of 15 percent. When perfused with KH alone at 70 cm H2O afterload and paced at 240

This study examined cross-sectional age relations of blood pressure, anthropometric indexes, serum lipids, and hemostatic variables in 203 subsistence horticulturists aged 20-86 y in Kitava, Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea. The population is characterized by extreme leanness (despite food

Anti-hypertensive treatment is much less successful at reducing coronary artery disease than at reducing mortality from stroke and congestive heart failure. The effects of the alpha-adrenergic antagonist doxazosin on progression of atheromatous lesions and functional responses of isolated coronary

In series of patients with stroke, selected by random (n = 68), mean age 62.44 +/- 9.12 years (range 39-82 yrs), there were 23 females (33.8%), mean age 65.43 +/- 10.11 yrs and 45 males (66.2%) mean age 60.8 +/- 8.3 yrs. Lp(a) reference values have been obtained from a group of 283 healthy

OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective study was to determine whether circulating intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 1, as a potential surrogate of 'endothelial activation', is more strongly associated with risk of vascular events than with incident diabetes. METHODS We related baseline ICAM-1
