Differential Impact In Vivo of Pf4- ΔCre-Mediated and Gp1ba-ΔCre-Mediated Depletion of Cyclooxygenase-1 in Platelets in Mice
CONCLUSIONS: Both approaches to Cox-1 deletion similarly restrain thrombogenesis, but a differential impact on Cox-1-dependent prostanoid formation by the vasculature may contribute to an inflammatory phenotype and accelerated atherogenesis in Pf4-ΔCre mice.PMID:38660804 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.123.320295 (Source: Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology)

Essential phospholipids impact cytokine secretion and alter lipid-metabolizing enzymes in human hepatocyte cell lines
CONCLUSIONS: EPL, PPC, and PtdIns impacted the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and affected amounts of several key lipid-metabolizing enzymes in human hepatocyte cell lines. Such changes may help liver function improvement, and provide further insights into the EPL's mechanism of action.PMID:38664334 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-024-00595-4 (Source: Pharmacological Reports)

A register-based study describing time trends in risk factor control and serious hypoglycaemia together with the effects of starting continuous glucose monitoring in people with type 1 diabetes in Norway
CONCLUSIONS: Between 2012 and 2020, we found marked improvements in glycaemic control and a considerable decrease in the proportion of individuals reporting serious hypoglycaemia. The proportion of individuals using CGM increased substantially and individuals that had started using CGM by 2020 showed greater improvement in glycaemic control and less serious hypoglycaemia.PMID:38662602 | DOI:10.1111/dme.15335 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Dietary supplements: clinical cholesterol-lowering efficacy and potential mechanisms of action
Int J Food Sci Nutr. 2024 Apr 24:1-20. doi: 10.1080/09637486.2024.2342301. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis review aims to analyse the efficacy of dietary supplements in reducing plasma cholesterol levels. Focusing on evidence from meta-analyses of randomised controlled clinical trials, with an emphasis on potential mechanisms of action as supported by human, animal, and cell studies. Certain dietary supplements including phytosterols, berberine, viscous soluble dietary fibres, garlic supplements, soy protein, specific probiotic strains, and certain polyphenol extracts could significantly reduce plasma total and low-dens...

Risk Factors and Clinical Characterization of Cardiovascularand Cerebrovascular Events in Elderly Hemodialysis Patients
CONCLUSION: Patients with underlying diseases such as hypertensive or diabetic nephropathy are more likely to experience cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Longer dialysis duration, higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures, elevated uric acid, TC, TG, LDL-C, PTH and blood glucose levels, and boosted inflammatory reaction are risk factors for these events among elderly HD patients. The purpose of this study is to provide practical guidelines for clinical treatment. Comprehensive measures such as active intervention of risk factors, rational drug use and regular examination should be taken to improve the overall...

A short-term rodent model for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis induced by a high-fat diet and carbon tetrachloride
This study aimed to evaluate the joint action of a high-fat diet and CCl4 in developing a short-term non-alcoholic steatohepatitis model. C57BL6/J mice were divided into two groups: standard diet-fed (SD), the high-fat diet-fed (HFD) and HFD + fructose-fed and carbon tetrachloride (HFD+CCl4). Animals fed with HFD+CCl4 presented increased lipid deposition compared with both SD and HFD mice. Plasma cholesterol was increased in animals from the HFD+CCl4 group compared to the SD and HFD groups, without significant differences between the SD and HFD groups. Plasma triglycerides showed no significant difference between the group...

Distal Upper Extremity Arterial Calcification as a Predictor for Subclinical Coronary Artery Disease by Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open. 2024 Apr 24;12(4):e5768. doi: 10.1097/GOX.0000000000005768. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTSeveral studies have linked calcification of the thoracic and lower extremity arterial trunks to an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD). Calcifications of the radial and/or ulnar artery are regularly identified in hand/wrist x-rays; however, the clinical relevance of these findings as related to identifying subclinical CAD is not well understood. Associations between CAD and upper extremity calcifications have been reported, but the timeline is unclear. The purpose of this study was...

Statin treatment reduces leucine turnover, but does not affect endogenous production of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB)
Statins, or hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, are one of the most commonly prescribed medications for lowering cholesterol. Myopathic side-effects ranging from pain and soreness to critical rhabdomyolysis are commonly reported and often lead to discontinuation. The pathophysiological mechanism is, in general, ascribed to a downstream reduction of Coenzyme Q10 synthesis, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction. HMG-CoA is a metabolite of leucine and its corresponding keto acid α-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) and beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), however little is known about the changes in...

Subclinical Atherosclerosis to Guide Treatment in Dyslipidemia and Diabetes Mellitus
AbstractPurpose of ReviewDyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus are two common conditions that are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In this review, we aimed to provide an in-depth and contemporary review of non-invasive approaches to assess subclinical atherosclerotic burden, predict cardiovascular risk, and guide appropriate treatment strategies. We focused this paper on two main imaging modalities: coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and computed tomography coronary angiography.Recent FindingsRecent longitudinal studies have provided stronger evidence on the relation...
