Journal ArticleDOI
Composition and metabolism of symptomatic distal aortic plaque.
TL;DR: The most striking feature of advanced human atherosclerotic lesions removed by endarterectomy is an enormous accumulation of calcium that was raised more than tenfold, from a level of about 3% of dry tissue weight in the normal tissue to values approaching 50% in the pathologic specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative coronary artery revascularization and long-term outcomes following abdominal aortic vascular surgery in patients with abnormal myocardial perfusion scans: a subgroup analysis of the coronary artery revascularization prophylaxis trial.
Santiago Garcia,James E. Rider,Thomas E. Moritz,Gordon L. Pierpont,Steven Goldman,Greg C. Larsen,Kendrick A. Shunk,Fred N. Littooy,Steven M. Santilli,Joseph H. Rapp,Domenic J. Reda,Herbert B. Ward,Edward O. McFalls +12 more
TL;DR: In patients with an abnormal cardiac imaging before abdominal aortic vascular surgery, PR was associated with a reduced risk of death and nonfatal MI while anterior ischemia was an identifier of poor outcome independent of the revascularization status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chylomicron and Chylomicron Remnant Metabolism in STZ-Induced Diabetic Rats
TL;DR: With affinity chromatography, it was found that the increase in serum triglycerides levels in diabetic rats was due to triglyceride-rich very-low-density lipoproteins and/or CM and not to the accumulation of remnants, which supports the observation that remnant clearance is not impaired.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testosterone regulates metabolism of plasma chylomicrons in rats.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the differences in chylomicron metabolism, postheparin lipoprotein lipase activities, and serum high density lipop protein levels observed between male and female rats are due to testosterone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apolipoprotein E4 Domain Interaction Accelerates Diet-Induced Atherosclerosis in Hypomorphic Arg-61 Apoe Mice
Delphine Eberlé,Roy Y Kim,Fu Sang Luk,Nabora Soledad Reyes de Mochel,Nathalie Gaudreault,Victor Olivas,Nikit Kumar,Jessica M. Posada,Andrew C. Birkeland,Joseph H. Rapp,Robert L. Raffai +10 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that domain interaction mediates proatherogenic effects of apoE4 in part by modulating lipoprotein metabolism and macrophage biology and Pharmaceutical targeting of domain interaction could lead to new treatments for atherosclerosis in apo E4 individuals.
