Cathepsin G activity lowers plasma LDL and reduces atherosclerosis.
Cathepsin G (CatG), a serine protease present in mast cells and neutrophils, can produce angiotensin-II (Ang-II) and degrade elastin. Here we demonstrate increased CatG expression in smooth muscle cells (SMCs), endothelial cells (ECs), macrophages, and T cells from human atherosclerotic lesions. In low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient (Ldlr(-/-)) mice, the absence of CatG reduces ar...
متن کاملPlasma lipids and atherosclerosis.
Hyperlipidaemia may be defined as the presence of excess lipid in the blood. It may be classified according to the nature of the lipids which are increased. A classification of hyperlipidaemia based on the fasting levels of cholesterol and triglyceride allows of three possible abnormal groups, which are shown in table I together with the corresponding classification according to Fredrickson as ...
متن کاملParticle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions of a Plasma Column Driven by Surface Wave Plasma Discharges
In this work, applicability of Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation method for better understanding of the plasma physical mechanisms and real important aspects of a plasma column driven by surface wave plasma discharges that is used in plasma antennas is examined. Via the implementation of geometry and physical parameters of the plasma column to an Object Oriented PIC-M...
متن کاملSurface Decontamination by Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma
Background: Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), a source of non-thermal plasma, is used in surface decontamination. Objective: To study the effect of DBD plasma treatment, we evaluated the effect of plasma exposure time on inactivation of Bacillus subtilis. Results: Applying the DBD plasma to the culture of B. subtilis caused complete sterilization of the surface without any thermal effects. In...
