BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is characterized by endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, and the buildup of lipids, cholesterol, calcium, and cellular debris within the intima of the walls of large and medium size arteries. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of clopidogrel on atherosclerosis progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 28 local domestic rabbits were assigned to four gr...

Cerebral language lateralization can be assessed in several ways. In healthy subjects, functional MRI (fMRI) during performance of a language task has evolved to be the most frequently applied method. Functional transcranial Doppler (fTCD) may provide a valid alternative, but has been used rarely. Both techniques have their own strengths and weaknesses and as a result may be applied in differen...

conclusions according to the results of this study, as carbamazepine and valproate sodium consumption can result in elevated serum levels of homocysteine and decreased levels of folate and vitamin b12, and the atherogenic effect of increased serum homocysteine level is well established, the patients under these medications should be monitored for possible atherogenic effects. results finally, t...

Dyslipidemia is a lipid metabolism disorder characterized by fraction changes in the blood, such as an increase total cholesterol, LDL, TG and decrease HDL, which strongly associated with atherosclerosis. Mulberry leaves ( Morus alba L. ) contain quercetin 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), help to lower cardiometabolic risk reducing hyperlipidemia, oxidative stress The objective of this study was deter...

Research focus: Identification of incidence of an atherogenic lipoprotein pheno‐ type B in four representative diagnoses of cardiovascular diseases: a) arterial hypertension, b) coronary heart disease, c) lower extremity arterial disease, d) ischemic stroke Research methods: A clinical study included 366 patients with a diagnosis of arterial hypertension (n=107), coronary heart disease (n= 104)...

The aim of this study was to characterize the tissue-associated differences in the fatty acid profiles of intramuscular, subcutaneous and hepatic lipids and their quality indices from Lithuanian indigenous wattle pig and wild boar backcross to lean breed. The samples from hybrid pigs (1/4 Lithuanian indigenous wattle, 1/4 wild boar and 1/2 Landrace) were used in the experiment. There was little...
