The relationship between vasectomy and angiographically determined atherosclerosis in men.
Long-term prospective studies in monkeys have shown that vasectomy is associated with an increase in atherosclerotic disease. The purpose of the present investigation is to evaluate whether vasectomy in men is associated with atherosclerotic disease in the coronary arteries. In this study information was obtained on the vasectomy status in a series of 7,420 men who had previously been referred ...
متن کاملGenetic Mechanisms in Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) refers to the development of bronchoconstriction in asthmatics following the exposure to aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The key pathogenic mechanisms associated with AERD are the overproduction of cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) and increased CysLTR1 expression in the airway mucosa and decreased lipoxin and PGE2 synthesis. G...
متن کاملImmune mechanisms in atherosclerosis.
To summarize, it is possible that T cell activation in the plaque has four different effects: a direct inhibition of smooth muscle proliferation mediated by IFN-gamma, an indirect stimulation of smooth muscle proliferation via IFN-induced macrophage activation, an induction of responsiveness to PDGF by induction of PDGF receptor expression, and finally, an up-regulation of HDL receptors. The ne...
متن کاملDexaniethasone-Induced Suppression of Aortic Atherosclerosis in Cholesterol-Fed Rabbits Possible Mechanisms
We investigated the mechanisms by which corticosteroids affect atherosclerosis. Male New Zealand White rabbits were injected with 0.125 mg dexamethasone (n = 10) or vehicle (control group, n = 10). Both groups were fed a 1% cholesterol diet for 8 weeks. Although the dexamethasone-treated animals exhibited a greater degree of hvperlipidemia, they exhibited significantly less atherosclerotic plaq...
