Antioxidants protect from atherosclerosis by a heme oxygenase-1 pathway that is independent of free radical scavenging
Oxidative stress is implicated in atherogenesis, yet most clinical trials with antioxidants, particularly vitamin E, have failed to protect against atherosclerotic diseases. A striking exception is… Expand

The roles of myeloperoxidase in coronary artery disease and its potential implication in plaque rupture
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is the main pathophysiological process underlying coronary artery disease (CAD). Acute complications of atherosclerosis, such as myocardial infarction, are caused by the… Expand

Systematic review of cardiac electrical disease in Kearns-Sayre syndrome and mitochondrial cytopathy.
Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a mitochondrial disorder characterised by onset before the age of 20years, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, and pigmentary retinopathy, accompanied by either… Expand

Probucol inhibits in-stent thrombosis and neointimal hyperplasia by promoting re-endothelialization.
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that delayed re-endothelialization is responsible for in-stent thrombosis. Probucol inhibits neointimal thickening in animals via enhanced re-endothelialization and is… Expand

Probucol Promotes Functional Reendothelialization in Balloon-Injured Rabbit Aortas
Background—Probucol remains the only conventional drug that reduces restenosis after coronary angioplasty. Apart from its weak cholesterol-lowering effect, probucol has antioxidant properties, but it… Expand

Equivalent lipid oxidation profiles in advanced atherosclerotic lesions of carotid endarterectomy plaques obtained from symptomatic type 2 diabetic and nondiabetic subjects.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and is thought to be associated with increased oxidative stress, a contributor to atherogenesis. Surprisingly, however, there is… Expand

Prognostic Significance of Peri-procedural Myocardial Infarction in the Era of High Sensitivity Troponin: A Validation of the Joint ACCF/AHA/ESC/WHF Universal Definition of Type 4a Myocardial…
AIMS This study aims to validate the joint ACCF/AHA/ESC/WHF Universal Definition of peri-procedural myocardial infarction (PMI) with high sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT). METHODS A retrospective… Expand

Intimal thickening after arterial balloon injury is increased by intermittent repetitive hypoxia, but intermittent repetitive hyperoxia is not protective.
Hypoxia increases and hyperoxia decreases experimental atherosclerosis, but it is unclear if repetitive hypoxic and hyperoxic insults affect intimal thickening after arterial injury. Rabbits on 2%… Expand

Coenzyme Q(10) supplementation inhibits aortic lipid oxidation but fails to attenuate intimal thickening in balloon-injured New Zealand white rabbits.
Oxidized lipoproteins are implicated in atherosclerosis, and some antioxidants attenuate the disease in animals. Coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)) in its reduced form, ubiquinol-10, effectively inhibits… Expand

Protective effects of probucol in two animal models of atherosclerosis
Abstract Lipid oxidation is widely accepted to be critical in the initiation of atherosclerosis,1 the major cause of death in industrialized countries. The use of antioxidants to improve health in… Expand
