Can α-Lipoic Acid Mitigate Progression of Aging-Related Decline Caused by Oxidative Stress?

Aging is progressively deteriorating physiological function that leads to increasing risks of illness and death. Increases in life expectancy and the aging of a large segment of the population have made age-related disability and morbidity increasingly important issues. Supplements such as α-lipoic acid may have antiaging effects by positively affecting…

Influence of Lipoprotein (a) on Inflammatory Biomarkers in Metabolic Syndrome

Objective: To examine the relation between plasma lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) levels and oxidative stress biomarkers, serum cytokines, and atherosclerotic burden among individuals recently diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods: Eighty-four white patients with MS were classified according to two Lp(a) levels (normal Lp[a]: 30 mg/dL) and were compared with…

Change in Bilirubin Level Following Acute Myocardial Infarction Is an Index for Heme Oxygenase Activation

Objectives: Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is rapidly induced by stress, degrading pro-oxidant heme into carbon monoxide, bilirubin, and free iron (Fe). Induction of HO-1 is an important defense mechanism against tissue injury. Here, we tested the hypothesis that HO-1 is activated in the myocardium after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in…

Effects of Rosuvastatin and Colestimide on Metabolic Parameters and Urinary Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Hyperlipidemia

Background:Rosuvastatin, a strong statin, and colestimide, a new anion exchange resin, are both clinically beneficial drugs for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. The main purpose of the study was to compare the effects of rosuvastatin and colestimide on metabolic parameters, adipokines, and markers of oxidative stress and diabetic nephropathy in patients with…
