Occupational physical activity, energy expenditure and 11-year progression of carotid atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVES This study prospectively assessed the effects of occupational physical activity on atherosclerosis progression. METHODS This population-based prospective study of ultrasonographically assessed carotid intima media thickness (IMT) used repeated measures of occupational physical activity during baseline, 4-year, and 11-year examinations of 612 Finnish men 42-60 years of age at baseli...
متن کاملExpression of Class 11 Transplantation Antigen on Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Human Atherosclerosis
A large proportion of the cells of the human atherosclerotic plaque is assumed to be derived from medial smooth muscle cells. In contrast to these, the cells of the plaque have the capacity to accumulate lipid, and they also proliferate at a higher rate than medial cells. It has therefore been suggested that smooth muscle cells undergo a change of phenotype during atherogenesis, but there has b...
متن کاملWork Time and 11-Year Progression of Carotid Atherosclerosis in Middle-Aged Finnish Men
INTRODUCTION Studies of the relationship between work time and health have been inconclusive. Consequently, we sought to examine the effect of work time on progression of atherosclerosis. METHODS This prospective study of 621 middle-aged Finnish men evaluated effects of baseline and repeat measures of work time on 11-year progression of ultrasonographically assessed carotid intima-media thick...
متن کاملAn Experimental Model for Studying Atherosclerosis
The aim of the present study was to clarify if old N-MRI rat, a strain which is easily available in Iran and cheap to maintain, is a suitable alternative to those previously reported. In this model, we compared three quantifiable parameters between old and young rats: biochemically, involving measurement of differences in the lipid profile. Histologically, the differences of the thickness of th...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis Surrogate Marker in Diabetic Patients
Objective: Duplex ultrasonography is a non-invasive, non-expensive screening test for carotid disease. Intima media thickness (IMT) is appropriate for atherosclerosis process diagnosis. Leukoaraisis (LA) increase the risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA). LA patients need preventive medication for CVA. IMT is a non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic test in LA. The aim of this study was evalua...
