TZDs (thiazolidinediones) are prescribed as anti-Type II diabetes drugs, but little is known regarding whether TZDs regulate the expression of sPLA2 (secretory phospholipase A2) in macrophages. We have investigated the effects of pioglitazone on LPS

The factors contributing to variation in lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] was studied in a Melbourne Chinese population. The plasma Lp(a) levels were highly skewed towards low levels in this population, with a median of 79 mg/L and a mean of 145 mg/L. Approxim

Objectives: Platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) mediates the transendothelial migration of circulating leukocytes, a characteristic change in vascular inflammation leading to atherosclerotic plaque development. We hypothesized tha
