Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death globally, despite advances in lipid‑lowering strategies. A distinct subfraction of low‑density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, known as small LDL (sdLDL; particle size, 15‑20 nm), has been found ...
Obesity is increasingly taking an important stage as a cause of death worldwide, and interventions with a good cost-effectiveness ratio are needed. is one of these natural products with health benefits. Objective. The present study evaluated the cy...
The predictive value of the susceptibility to oxidation of LDL particles (LDLox) in cardiometabolic risk assessment is incompletely understood. The main objective of the current study was to assess its relationship with other relevant biomarkers and ...
OBJECTIVE: The prevention of hypertension in primary care requires an effective and suitable hypertension risk assessment model. The aim of this study was to develop and compare the performances of three machine learning algorithms in predicting the ...
Platelets are functionally versatile blood cells involved in thrombosis, hemostasis, atherosclerosis, and immune response. Platelet interaction with the immediate microenvironment in blood, vasculature, and tissues alters platelet morphology. The qua...
Scavenger receptors are a highly diverse superfamily of proteins which are grouped by their inherent ability to bind and internalize a wide array of structurally diverse ligands which can be either endogenous or exogenous in nature. Consequently, sca...
BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients can have low 25-hydroxyvitamin D 25(OH)VitD levels, which may be associated with increased oxidative stress. There is little data on the effect of 25(OH)VitD administration plus dietary intervention on o...

NADPH oxidase (NOX) is a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body and it plays a key role in mediation of oxidative injury in the cardiovascular system. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the status of NOX in endothelial prog...
BACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) features elevated oxidative stress and accelerated atherosclerosis driven by elevated levels of atherogenic lipoproteins relative to subnormal levels of atheroprotective high-density lipoprotein (HDL). S...
