Phytophenols are important bioactive food based chemical entities, largely present in
several natural sources. Among them, sesamol is one of the key natural phenols found in …

Sialic acid (Sia), the acylated derivative of the nine-carbon sugar neuraminic acid, is a
terminal component of the oligosaccharide chains of many glycoproteins and glycolipids. In …

Atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular disorders remain the leading global cause of
morbidity and mortality. Modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered to play a crucial …

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major source of mortality and morbidity
in the general population. Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL …

Background The accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages, foam cells, within sub-
endothelial intima is a key feature of early atherosclerosis. Siglec-E, a mouse orthologue of …

biomarkers in diabetes and metabolic syndrome Andrea Rivas-Urbina1,2, Sonia Benitez1 …

Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are the major plasma carriers of cholesterol. However, LDL
particles must undergo various molecular modifications to promote the development of …

Background and objective N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), a type of sialic acid, has close
links with cholesterol metabolism and is often used as a biomarker in evaluating the risk of …

This review focuses on the biological role and clinical relevance of relatively poor studied
enzymes known as sialidases. We describe structure and function of sialic acid, in particular …

The most typical feature of atherogenesis in humans at its early stage is the formation of
foam cells in subendothelial arterial intima, which occurs as the consequence of intracellular …
