  1. 16. Cell death in atherosclerosis

    Författare :Milita Crisby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; carotid artery stenosis; ischemic stroke; apoptosis; necrosis; lipid peroxidation; plaque stability; pravastatin; inflammation; 27-[alpha]-hydroxylase;

    Sammanfattning : Rupture of atherosclerotic lesions is recognized as the major cause of acute cerebrovascular and coronary syndromes. The characteristics of the typical vulnerable plaque include increased inflammatory cells at the shoulder region, a large lipid core, a thin fibrous cap with few collagen fibers and smooth muscle cells.

  2. 17. Adiponectin in atherosclerosis

    Författare :Jonas Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Adiponectin;

    Sammanfattning : Adiponectin is a protein secreted from adipocytes, circulating at high levels in plasma (3 30μg/mL), and in overweight subjects it is down regulated. Adiponectin inhibits the development of atherosclerosis in experimental animal models but whether adiponectin is anti atherogenic in humans is not known. LÄS MER

  3. 18. Identification of inflammatory genes involved in the pathogenesis of human and experimental atherosclerosis

    Författare :Hanna E Agardh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease of large and medium sized arteries, developing slowly and silently over decades. The disease is usually not apparent until occurrence of a sudden clinical symptom, such as myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke. LÄS MER

  4. 19. Sex differences in atherosclerosis and exercise effects

    Författare :Liam Ward; Wei Li; Ximing Yuan; Helen Karlsson; Marie Rubér; Anna-Clara Spetz Holm; Magnus Grenegård; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, with atherosclerosis being the main cause of cardiovascular diseases. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the blood vessel wall, which over time will cause thickening and hardening of the vessel wall. LÄS MER

  5. 20. Thrombolysis in vascular surgery

    Författare :Linn Smith; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Thrombolysis is in common use in the treatment of acute forms of vascular disease. It may be used both systemically and locally, in the latter case through an endovascular approach, socalled catheter-directed thrombolysis. LÄS MER
