Plasma ANGPTL8 Levels and Risk for Secondary Cardiovascular Events in Japanese Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease Receiving Statin Therapy
CONCLUSIONS: Monitoring ANGPTL8 levels over time might be useful to assess residual risk of cardiovascular secondary events in patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing statin therapy.PMID:37259862 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.122.318880

Cardiovascular complications in insulin resistance and endocrine diseases
Endocr J. 2023 Feb 8. doi: 10.1507/endocrj.EJ22-0457. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and cardiovascular disease, are one of the leading causes of death in Japan. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and an important risk factor for these diseases. Among various pathological conditions associated with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance has already been reported to be an important risk factor for diabetic complications. The major sites of insulin action in glucose metabolism in the body include the liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. However, insulin signaling m...

Challenges in Drug Development Targeting Anti-atherosclerotic Proteins.
Abstract Atherosclerosis is a vascular disease responsible for acute heart attacks and stroke, which are leading causes of death not only in industrialized countries but also worldwide, and the number of patients afflicted by this disease has been increasing in Japan. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is the plasma lipoprotein that carries what is often called your "good cholesterol" through the blood. This good cholesterol moniker is associated with HDL because higher circulating levels of this lipoprotein are associated with a well-known reduction in the risk of arteriosclerosis. Moreover, many protective mechanism...

Cell-Based Therapies for Stroke: Promising Solution or Dead End? Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Comorbidities in Preclinical Stroke Research
Conclusion The high prevalence of comorbidities in patients with stroke indicates the need for therapies in preclinical studies that take into account these comorbidities in order to avoid failures in translation to the patient. Preclinical studies are beginning to evaluate the efficacy of MSC treatment in stroke associated with comorbidities, especially hypertension, for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Regarding aging and diabetes, only ischemic stroke studies have been performed. For the moment, few studies have been performed and contradictory results are being reported. These contradictory results may be due to the u...

Association of renal arteriosclerosis and hypertension with renal and cardiovascular outcomes in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy
ConclusionsRenal AS was associated with increasing risks for renal composite events and cardiovascular events in both normal ‐range BP and HT. The risks of renal composite events and cardiovascular events were the highest in both renal AS and HT.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
