Abstract:

There has been inconsistencies in the performance of dry-chemistry analyzers using different blood sample types. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine precision and accuracy of both capillary and venous whole blood analyzed by the Reflotron (Boehringer Mannheim Diagnostics, Indianapolis, Indiana) and capillary plasma analyzed by the Ektachem DT60 (Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, New York). Fifty subjects were recruited to provide a representative sample of cholesterol concentrations. One technician performed two fingerstick punctures and one venipuncture on each subject and a

Abstract:

This thesis is based on a worldwide overview (meta-analysis) of prospective observational studies of blood pressure and cholesterol, involving a centralised collection of data on over one million individuals from 59 studies, which I have co- ordinated since its inception. Analytically, the aim has been to develop and to use appropriate statistical techniques to assess the age- and sex-specific associations of usual blood pressure and of usual cholesterol with cause-specific mortality. Since the data set is uniquely large, and because appropriate methods of analysis (with full account taken of

This thesis describes studies into the pathogenesis of Cholesterol—related early vascular injury. In addition, this thesis examines the potential reversibility of this injury with 2 agents: a) simvastatin, an HMGCoA reductase inhibitor, in a model independent of any reduction in lipids and 2) high dose aspirin. Hypercholesterolaemia led to a decrease in NO bioavailability, in association with a decrease in the enzyme, endothelial nitric oxide synthase and increased oxidative stress. In addition, there was an increase in the pro—inflammatory transcription factor, NF—KB, in the intima o

Abstract:

The study was performed to determine factors influencing the esteriflcation of plasma cholesterol in young and aged rats. The distribution of LCAT activity was determined following gel nitration chromatography and ultracentrifugation of whole plasma respectively. When rat plasma was fractionated on a Bio-Gel A-5 Mcolumn, LCAT activity was found to be associated with the HDL fraction. A similar result was observed upon 24 hr density gradient ultracentrifugation of the plasma. However, following prolonged 40 hr preparative ultracentrifugation, the majority of the LCAT activity was displaced into

It was hypothesized that high levels of self-care are inversely related to serum cholesterol levels. A retrospective study was conducted. A convenience sample o

Abstract:

Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries and is defined as a form of arteriosclerosis in which fatty lesions called atheromatous plaques form on the intima of arteries. The formation of these plaques begins early, within the first two decades of life, and may be started by damage to the endothelial cells and intima of the artery walls (Guyton, 1981). A number of factors may cause the initial damage, including physical abrasion of the endothelium, abnormal substances in the blood or pulsating arterial pressure on the vessel wall (Guyton, 1981).

La Sclerosi Multipla (MS) è una patologia autoimmune cronica che colpisce il sistema nervoso centrale (SNC) determinando demielinizzazione. I principali fenotipi patologici sono Recidivante-Remittente (RRMS) e Primariamente Progressiva (PPMS) – quest’ultima è la forme più grave. Ajami B. et al. hanno dimostrato che nel modello murino affetto da Encefalomielite (EAE) - il modello animale di MS- vi è una forte correlazione tra la presenza di monociti a livello del SNC ed il peggioramento dei sintomi motori tipici della malattia. Partendo da queste evidenze , per il nostro studio sono stati prel

Abstract:

The relationships of serum cholesterol, blood pressure and cigarette smoking with certain chronic diseases were investigated in a prospective study among more than 9,000 middle-aged adults in urban Shanghai. At baseline, the mean serum cholesterol was 4.2 mmol/l, 14 per cent of the participants had definite hypertension, and 61 per cent of males and 7 per cent of females were regular smokers. During 8-13 years of follow-up, 620 deaths were recorded. 231 (37%) of the deaths were ascribed to cardiovascular disease, including 44 (7%) from CHD and 152 (25%) from stroke. Cancer caused 274 deaths (4

Abstract:

A síndrome metabólica (SM) é uma condição clínica que agrupa uma variedade de morbidades, como hiperglicemia, pressão arterial elevada, dislipidemia aterogênica e obesidade (particularmente na região abdominal). Nessa conjuntura, os principais tecidos-alvo da ação da insulina sofrem alterações metabólicas que aumentam o risco de ocorrência de doenças cardiovasculares e diabetes tipo 2. As alterações teciduais observadas são caracterizadas por infiltrados de células do sistema imune, especialmente macrófagos. Citocinas pró-inflamatórias, como TNF-α, são liberadas e alcançam a corrente san
