Immunomodulation and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Garlic Compounds

TL;DR: The benefits of garlic to health have been proclaimed for centuries; however, only recently have Allium sativum and its derivatives been proposed as promising candidates for maintaining the homeostasis of the immune system as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation as "common soil" of the multifactorial diseases.

TL;DR: The data emerged from research on inflammatory mediators sustaining multifactorial diseases is discussed, which appears to be supported by tissue malfunction or homeostatic imbalance in a wide variety of conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular aspects of multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: Three types of vascular dysfunction have been described in multiple sclerosis (MS), and data suggest that a subtype of focal MS lesions might have an ischaemic origin, and there seems to be a link between reduced white matter perfusion and cognitive dysfunction in MS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma Klotho and Cardiovascular Disease in Adults

TL;DR: Whether plasma klotho, a recently discovered hormone that has been implicated in atherosclerosis, is related to prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults is investigated.

Purified Anthocyanin Supplementation Improves Endothelial Function via NO-cGMP Activation in Hypercholesterolemic Individuals

TL;DR: Anthocyanin supplementation improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation in hypercholesterolemic individuals and involves activation of the NO-cGMP signaling pathway, improvements in the serum lipid profile, and decreased inflammation.

The immune response in atherosclerosis: a double-edged sword

TL;DR: This Review focuses on the role of immune mechanisms in the formation and activation of atherosclerotic plaques, and also includes a discussion of the use of inflammatory markers for predicting cardiovascular events.

Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction

TL;DR: This review discusses the pathogenesis and management of coronary microvascular dysfunction and factors to consider in clinical management are the cause of the dysfunction and whether it is iatrogenic, whether obstructive coronary artery disease is present, and whether myocardial disease ispresent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial Function Cardiac Events

TL;DR: The present review is focused on the potential underlying mechanism by which endothelial dysfunction may contribute to cardiovascular events, and the localization and distribution of the endothelial cell layer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic epidemiology of the developmental origins hypothesis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that strategies for future human epidemiologic studies to identify causal associations between early exposures, long-term changes in epigenetic regulation, and disease, which may ultimately enable specific early-life interventions to improve human health, are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low micronutrient intake may accelerate the degenerative diseases of aging through allocation of scarce micronutrients by triage

TL;DR: It is proposed DNA damage and late onset disease are consequences of a triage allocation response to micronutrient scarcity, and it is hypothesize that short-term survival was achieved by allocating scarcemicronutrients by triage, in part through an adjustment of the binding affinity of proteins for required micronsutrients.
