TL;DR: It is shown that targeted disruption of the MSR-A gene in mice results in a reduction in the size of atherosclerotic lesions in an animal deficient in apolipoprotein E, indicating that MSr-A may play a part in host defence against pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human macrophage scavenger receptors: primary structure, expression, and localization in atherosclerotic lesions.
Akiyo Matsumoto,Makoto Naito,Hiroshige Itakura,S Ikemoto,H Asaoka,I Hayakawa,Hiroshi Kanamori,Hiroyuki Aburatani,Fumimaro Takaku,Hiroshi Suzuki +9 more
TL;DR: Two types of cDNAs for human macrophage scavenger receptors were cloned from a cDNA library derived from the phorbol ester-treated human monocytic cell line THP-1, and Immunohistochemical studies using an anti-peptide antibody indicated the presence of the scavenger receptor in the macrophages of lipid-rich atherosclerotic lesions, suggesting the involvement of scavengers receptors in atherogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of low-density lipoprotein oxidation by astaxanthin.
Tamami Iwamoto,Kazuaki Hosoda,Reiko Hirano,Hideaki Kurata,Akiyo Matsumoto,Wataru Miki,Masumi Kamiyama,Hiroshige Itakura,Shigeru Yamamoto,Kazuo Kondo +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that consumption of marine animals producing astaxanthin inhibits LDL oxidation and possibly therefore contributes to the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant ability of various flavonoids against DPPH radicals and LDL oxidation.
TL;DR: Results suggest that 1) radical trapping effects of flavonoids differ according to their structure, and 2) flavonoid act as hydrogen donors toalpha-toc radical; furthermore, by interaction with alpha-toc, they have a greater potential to delay the oxidation of LDL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric-field-induced superconductivity at 9.4 K in a layered transition metal disulphide MoS2
TL;DR: In this paper, an electric double-layer transistor with an ionic liquid was constructed for a layered transition metal disulphide (MoS2) and a metallic behavior was observed in the MoS2 channel.
