Some particular subpopulations ofapo B containing lipoprotein particles, such as LpB containing only apo B, LpB: E containing apo B and E, Lp(a):B containing apo B and (a), have been identified as important risk factors for arteriosclerosis. We have also recently demonstrated that the ...
Both long-term HIV infection and highly active antiretroviral therapy are independent risk factors for early carotid atherosclerosis There is controversy over whether or not chronic HIV infection contributes to atherosclerosis. We investigated the relationship between HIV infection, anti... MW Lorenz,C ...
A collection of risk factors, including central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, describes metabolic syndrome (MetS). Additionally, MetS is a known precursor in cardiovascular disease development1. MetS has become a major public health concern globally due to its increasing p...
The link between “screen time” and obesity, cardiovascular risk factors, negative health indicators, and physical inactivity has been well documented (12, 13). Many other problems including an altered appetite center, psychogenic factors, and adipose cell hypertrophy have also been linked to the ...
Vascular ECs can also secrete platelet-activating factors, and regulate factors related to the coagulation-fibrinolytic system to control blood flow [49]. Under long-term chronic injury, ECs extracellular matrix turnover interacts with smooth muscle cells that control intimal proliferation, thereby ...

This lack of association may be linked to the absence of GCT survivors with hypertriglyceridemia. Our study was limited by its sample size and also by the fact that a common disease (arteriosclerosis) may be modified by other non-measured factors present in others with lower prevalence as GCT...
