  1. 21. Leukocytes and Coronary Artery Disease : Experimental and Clinical Studies

    Författare :Eva Lindmark; Peter Kierulf; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Tissue factor; monocytes; platelets; cytokines; endothelial cells; unstable coronary artery disease; coagulation; inflammation; biochemical markers; IL-6; risk stratification; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Tissue factor (TF) is the initiator of the coagulation cascade. Monocytes do not normally express TF, but can be induced to do so by certain stimuli. Aberrant TF expression is important in the thrombotic complications of bacterial sepsis, certain malignancies and coronary artery disease (CAD). LÄS MER

  3. 22. Therapeutic myocardial angiogenesis and its pharmacological modulation

    Författare :Anwar J Siddiqui; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Angiogenesis; arteriogenesis; ischemic heart; vascular endothelial growth factor; angiopoietin and receptor;

    Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels induced by the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. Because angiogenesis is a complex process, therapeutic efficacy may be improved by overexpression of combined angiogenic factors. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Platelet function in hyperlipoproteinemia and effects of lipid-lowering treatment

    Författare :Anders Bröijersén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Coronary atherosclerosis and thrombus formation on fissuring atherosclerotic plaques are key events in the development of coronary artery disease. Hyperlipoproteinemia induces atherosclerosis but may also exert direct prothrombotic effects via platelet activation. LÄS MER

  5. 24. CYP26B1 as regulator of retinoic acid in vascular cells and atherosclerotic lesions

    Författare :Ali Ateia Elmabsout; Allan Sirsjö; Karin Fransén; Helen Håkansson; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CYP26B1; alternative splice; vascular cells; atherosclerosis; alltrans-retinoic acid; gene polymorphism; inflammation; statins; Medicine; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD), currently the most common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, is caused mainly by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic multifocal, immunoinflammatory, fibroproliferative disease of medium and large arteries. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Macrophage expression of VEGF and VEGFR-1. Potential involvement in atherogenesis

    Författare :Linda Salomonsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; macrophages; oxLDL; statins; VEGF; VEGFR-1;

    Sammanfattning : The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family is a group of proteins which contributes to both neovascularisation and inflammation. Elevated levels of VEGF have been found in subjects with atherosclerosis and correlate to several cardiovascular risk factors, e.g. hypertension and hyperlipidemia. LÄS MER
