Background—Statins exert an antithrombotic effect in patients at risk of or with acute
thrombosis, but no study has investigated whether this effect is immediate and whether there …

Experimental studies showed that gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is pro-atherogenic,
however, its relationship with human atherosclerosis is still to be defined. We investigate if …

Significance: Endothelial dysfunction and the imbalance between nitric oxide (NO) and
reactive oxygen species production in the vascular endothelium are important early steps in …
