The incidence of cardiovascular diseases in premenopausal women is lower than men or postmenopausal women. This study reports the discovery a low grade systemic inflammation, including monocyte adhesion to arterial endothelium, elicited by menopause estrogen depletion. Chronic treatment with dose 17-beta-estradiol inhibition renin-angiotensin system reduced this inflammation. Using an vitro flow chamber human and venous endothelial cells, we found that leukocytes from healthy were more...

Abstract Angiotensin II (Ang-II) displays inflammatory activity and is implicated in several cardiovascular disorders. This study evaluates the effect of cis- trans (t)-resveratrol (RESV) two vivo models vascular inflammation identifies cardioprotective mechanisms that underlie them. In vivo, Ang-II–induced arteriolar leukocyte adhesion was inhibited by 71% t-RESV (2.1 mg/kg, i.v.), but not affected cis-RESV. Because estrogens influence rennin-angiotensin system, chronic treatment with (15...

Abstract Angiotensin II (Ang-II) is associated with atherogenesis and arterial subendothelial mononuclear leukocyte infiltration. We have demonstrated that Ang-II causes the initial attachment of cells to arteriolar endothelium. now report on contribution CC chemokines this response.

Using intravital microscopy within rat mesenteric microcirculation h after exposure...

Background Hyperglycemia is acknowledged as an independent risk factor for developing diabetes-associated atherosclerosis. At present, most therapeutic approaches are targeted at a tight glycemic control in diabetic patients, although this fails to prevent macrovascular complications of the disease. Indeed, it remains highly controversial whether or not mere elevation extracellular D-glucose can directly promote vascular inflammation, which favors early pro-atherosclerotic events. Methods...

Sleep deprivation is a common health problem that growing rapidly worldwide and it associated with short- long-term impacts on health. The aim of this study was to detect potential predictors salivary testosterone (sT) association sleep in Arab male university students. In prospective cohort study, 77 students the age range 18 26 years were divided into two groups, sleep-deprived (SD) participants non-sleep-deprived (NSD) participants. defined as sleeping less than 5 hr per night.

Objective: To investigate the associations of coffee consumption and/or smoking on certain clinical outcomes including total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-density (LDL-C), vitamin B12, and folic acid in a population young healthy men. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted Amman, Jordan, over 4 months. Participants were approached for participation asked to fill questionnaire about their anthropometric information, habitual smoking, during last 3 Their...
