Journal ArticleDOI

Kai C. Wollert,Gerd Peter Meyer,Joachim Lotz,Stefanie Ringes Lichtenberg,Peter Lippolt,Christiane Breidenbach,Stephanie Fichtner,Thomas Korte,Burkhard Hornig,Diethelm Messinger,Lubomir Arseniev,Bernd Hertenstein,Arnold Ganser,Helmut Drexler +13 more
TL;DR: Intracoronary transfer of autologous bone-marrow-cells promotes improvement of left-ventricular systolic function in patients after acute myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of oxidative stress in atherosclerosis
TL;DR: Oxidative stress in humans with coronary artery disease is also exacerbated by a reduction of vascular extracellular superoxide dismutase, normally an important protective enzyme against the superoxide anion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial Function A Critical Determinant in Atherosclerosis
TL;DR: Accumulating data suggest that the degree of impairment of endothelium-dependent vasomotion has profound and independent prognostic implications, and raises the question of whether assessment of endothelial function can be used in the clinical setting to identify patients at high risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular Oxidative Stress and Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure Role of Xanthine-Oxidase and Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase
Ulf Landmesser,Stephan Spiekermann,Sergey Dikalov,Helma Tatge,Ragna Wilke,Christoph Kohler,David G. Harrison,Burkhard Hornig,Helmut Drexler +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined endothelium-bound activities of extracellular superoxide dismutase (ecSOD) and xanthine-oxidase, a potent radical producing enzyme, and their relation to FVD in patients with chronic heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron Spin Resonance Characterization of Vascular Xanthine and NAD(P)H Oxidase Activity in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Relation to Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilation
Stephan Spiekermann,Ulf Landmesser,Sergey Dikalov,Martin Bredt,Graciela Gamez,Helma Tatge,Nina Reepschläger,Burkhard Hornig,Helmut Drexler,David G. Harrison +9 more
TL;DR: The present study represents the first electron spin resonance measurements of xanthine and NAD(P)H oxidase activity in human coronary arteries and supports the concept that increased activities of both enzymes contribute to increased vascular oxidant stress in patients with CAD.
