Abstract

Atherosclerosis can be described as an inflammatory process, which is triggered by oxidative stress, as a basic pathological principle. The analogy to other inflammatory diseases is shown. The antioxidative, anti inflammatory, antiproteolytic, immune-modulating and antithrombogenic properties of the Tibetan herbal formula PADMA 28/ PADMA BASIC allow its use in diseases which have an oxidative or inflammatory background. This leads to the therapeutic use of this ...

Use of Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress in Research Studies1,2
The Journal of Nutrition ; EXPANDED ABSTRACT KEY WORDS: * biomarkers * oxidative stress * antioxidants In research studies, biomarkers can be employed to reflect environmental prooxidant exposures and dietary antioxidant intake or to serve as a surrogate measure of a disease process (1,2). To be truly useful, the biomarker
Oxidative stress in humans during work at moderate altitude
The Journal of Nutrition ; Oxidative Stress in Humans during Work at Moderate Altitude1,2 ABSTRACT Increased oxidative stress has been associated with work at high altitude; however, it is not known whether oxidative stress is a significant problem at moderate altitudes. The oxidative stress indicators, breath pentane
Oxidative stress in chronic kidney disease.(Issues in Renal Nutrition: Focus on Nutritional Care for Nephrology Patients)
Nephrology Nursing Journal ; Oxidative stress is defined as physiological stress on the body that is caused by the cumulative damage done by free radicals inadequately neutralized by antioxidants. It is imposed on cells as a result of an increase in the generation of oxidants, a failure to repair oxidative damage, or a
Oxidative Stress Markers Are Associated with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Clinical Chemistry ; Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with myocardial oxidative stress, and antioxidant agents have demonstrated antiarrhythmic benefit in humans. We compared serum markers of oxidation and associated inflammation in individuals with or without AF. Methods: Serum markers of
Oxidative Stress and Vascular Disease: Insights from Isoprostane Measurement
Clinical Chemistry ; Over the last 20 years, overwhelming evidence has accumulated indicating that oxidation of lipoproteins plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis (1). The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis is characterized by two key processes, lipid deposition and inflammation, within the
Effects of Soy or Milk Protein During a High-Fat Feeding Challenge on Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Lipids in Healthy Men
Lipids ; ABSTRACT: Soy isoflavones may impede atherogenic processes associated with cardiovascular disease. Research suggests that the postprandial generation of TG-rich remnants contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. The purpose of the current study was to determine if 39 g soy (85 mg aglycone
Protective effect of Rosa laevigata against amyloid beta peptide-induced oxidative stress

Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis Interact and Cause Emphysema Due to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor Blockade
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology ; We have previously demonstrated that a failure of pulmonary endothelial cell survival induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor blockade results in lung alveolar septal cell apoptosis and emphysema. Because apoptosis and oxidative stress may be pathobiologically linked, we

Phytate-Rich Soy Protein Isolate May Protect against Oxidative Stress by Reducing Iron Stores in Postmenopausal Women
The Journal of Nutrition ; Oxidative stress is a major underlying cause of age-related diseases, including cardiovascular, cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions. Oxidative status typically decreases with age whereas body iron stores generally increase with age, especially after menopause. High iron stores may further
