Abstract: Myostatin (Mstn) is a skeletal muscle growth inhibitor involved in metabolic disorders and heart fibrosis. In this study we sought to verify whether Mstn is also operative in atherosclerosis of abdominal aorta. In human specimens,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/dna.2022.0249
Abstract: Autophagy maintains intracellular homeostasis in the cardiovascular system, including in cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells (ECs), and arterial smooth muscle cells. Mitophagy, a selective autophagy that specifically removes damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria, is particularly important for cardiovascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0262413
Abstract: Activation of the classical complement pathway plays a major role in regulating atherosclerosis progression, and it is believed to have both proatherogenic and atheroprotective effects. This study focused on C1q, the first protein in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2018.00464
Abstract: Atherosclerosis (AS) in diabetic patients is often associated with low stability, which might be largely attributed to unfavorable macrophage polarization and increased inflammatory response induced by hyperglycaemia. Ginsenoside Rg3 is one of the main active… read more here.

DOI: 10.4049/jimmunol.2200475
Abstract: Abnormally high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) has been reported to associate with cardiovascular diseases in prostate cancer patients with specific androgen deprivation therapy and in menopausal women. All of the cardiovascular diseases were involved in atherosclerosis.… read more here.
