Journal ArticleDOI

Interruption of vascular thrombus formation and vascular lesion formation by dietary n-3 fatty acids in fish oil in nonhuman primates.

TL;DR: In nonhuman primates, dietary n-3FAs in high doses eliminate both vascular thrombus formation and vascular lesion formation after mechanical vascular injury while largely sparing hemostatic function and modestly reducing blood thrombotic responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

F2-isoprostanes as indices of lipid peroxidation in inflammatory diseases.

TL;DR: Consistent data suggest that formation of F2-isoprostanes is indeed altered in a variety of clinical settings associated with inflammation and oxidant stress, which might provide a sensitive biochemical basis of dose-selection in studies of natural and synthetic antioxidants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peripheral Circadian Clocks in the Vasculature

TL;DR: It is now accepted that peripheral cells, including those of the cardiovascular system, contain a circadian clock similar to that in the SCN, and biological responses under the control of the molecular clock might interact with environmental cues to influence the phenotype of human cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional characterization of the ocular prostaglandin f2alpha (PGF2alpha) receptor. Activation by the isoprostane, 12-iso-PGF2alpha.

TL;DR: The human FP may be activated specifically, by the free radical-catalyzed F2 isoprostane, 12-iso-PGF2alpha, in addition to the cyclooxygenase product, PGF2 alpha, where oxidant stress and augmented prostaglandin biosynthesis coincide.
Journal Article

Enhanced lipid peroxidation in hepatic cirrhosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lipid peroxidation is increased in vivo in patients with cirrhosis and suggests that oxidant stress might contribute to the deterioration of liver disease.
