This review focuses on the role of oxidative processes in atherosclerosis and its resultant
cardiovascular events. There is now a consensus that atherosclerosis represents a state of …

Evidence to support an important role of oxidative modification in mediating the
atherogenicity of LDL continues to grow. New hypotheses suggest mechanisms by which Ox …

The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive survey on the compositional
properties of LDL (eg, lipid classes, fatty acids, antioxidants) relevant for its susceptibility to …

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a blinding disease that afflicts millions of adults
in the Western world. Although it has been proposed that a threshold event occurs during …

The atherosclerotic lesion contains large numbers of macrophages and T lymphocytes. This
suggests that a cellular immune response may take place in the lesion, and oxidized …

This review summarises the results and discussions of an UNESCO‐MCBN supported
symposium on oxidative stress and its role in the onset and progression of diabetes. There is …

Retroperitoneal fibrosis encompasses a range of diseases characterised by the presence of
a fibro-inflammatory tissue, which usually surrounds the abdominal aorta and the iliac …

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Its lesions are filled with immune cells that can
orchestrate and effect inflammatory responses. In fact, the first lesions of atherosclerosis …

Oxidative modification of LDL renders it immunogenic and autoantibodies to epitopes of
oxidised LDL, such as malondialdehyde (MDA)-lysine, are found in serum and recognise …

It has been proposed that low density lipoprotein (LDL) must undergo oxidative modification
before it can give rise to foam cells, the key component of the fatty streak lesion of …
