NUTRITION AS THE RISK FACTOR FOR CARDIOVASCULAR PATHOLOGY FROM EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor from Embryonic Status to Cardiovascular Pathology

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. VEGF is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kDa produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly T ...

Milk Consumption and the Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases: From the Quran and Hadiths Perspective

There are controversial findings about the relationship between milk intake and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this regard, the purpose of this review study was to determine the relationship between milk intake and CVD, as well as the effects of milk consumption on health based on Quranic verses, hadiths, and the data from available databases. No significant relationship was found...

Underestimation of the importance of homocysteine as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in epidemiological studies.

BACKGROUND In epidemiological studies, within-person variability in plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) measurements may dilute the association of 'usual' levels of tHcy with risk of cardiovascular disease, referred to as 'regression dilution'. The aim of this report was to estimate the magnitude of regression dilution after varying intervals of follow-up. METHODS Regression dilution ratios (RDR...

vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. vegf is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kda produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly t ...
