1. 1. Mechanisms for and consequences of cellular lipid accumulation - Role of the Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor

   Författare :Jeanna Perman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :very low density lipoprotein receptor; lipid accumulation;

   Sammanfattning : Lipid accumulation in non adipose tissue is associated with various cases of tissue dysfunction and tissue failure. Reduced availability of oxygen is known to cause intracellular lipid accumulation in cardiomyocytes as well as in hearts. LÄS MER

3. 2. Cellular immune responses to low density lipoprotein in atherosclerosis

   Författare :Andreas Hermansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the medium and large sized arterial vessels. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles carrying cholesterol are trapped within the arterial intima and elicit both innate as well as adaptive immune responses. LÄS MER

4. 3. Platelet-activating factor and lysophospatidylcholine in oxidized low density lipoprotein-mediated immune activation

   Författare :Yihui Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; oxidized LDL; platelet-activating factor PAF ; Iysophosphatidylcholine LPC ; anti-MHC class II antibodies; antibody; T cells; cytokine; IFN-[gamma]; IL-6; IL-4; TNF-[alpha]; a PAF specific receptor antagonist-WEB2170;

   Sammanfattning : Inflammation is a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease, as in addition to known risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking and diabetes. Patients with inflammatory diseases including SLE have an enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease. LÄS MER

5. 4. The regulation of blood coagulation by high-density lipoprotein particles

   Författare :Cecilia Oslakovic; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : High-density lipoprotein (HDL) has anti-atherogenic properties and the plasma level of HDL cholesterol correlates inversely with the risk of coronary artery disease. The atheroprotective functions of HDL can be explained by its function in the reverse cholesterol transport. LÄS MER

7. 5. Macrophage Activation and AP-1 in Atherosclerosis

   Författare :Maria Stollenwerk; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi; Cardiovascular system; carotid plaque; interleukin-1b; caspase-1.; very low-density lipoprotein; fatty acids; activator protein-1; inflammation; Atherosclerosis; nuclear factor-kB; macrophages; tumor necrosis factor;

   Sammanfattning : High levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) have been identified as independent risk factors for coronary heart disease. Hypertriglyceridemia is generally associated with an increased expression of inflammatory makers and inflammation is thought to contribute to atherosclerosis and its complications. LÄS MER
