Statins possess anti-inflammatory effects that may contribute to their ability to slow atherogenesis, whereas nitric oxide (NO) also influences inflammatory cell adhesion. This study aimed to determine whether a novel NO-donating pravastatin derivati...

Fatty acid and phospholipid chlorohydrins cause cell stress and endothelial adhesion. (2006)
Journal Article
DEVER, G., WAINWRIGHT, C. L., KENNEDY, S. and SPICKETT, C. M. 2006. Fatty acid and phospholipid chlorohydrins cause cell stress and endothelial adhesion. Acta biochimica polonica [online], 53(4), pages 761-768. Available from: https://doi.org/10.18388/abp.2006_3304

The oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is thought to contribute to atherogenesis, which is an inflammatory disease involving activation of phagocytic cells. Myeloperoxidase, an enzyme which is able to produce hypochlorous acid (HOCl), is rele... Read More about Fatty acid and phospholipid chlorohydrins cause cell stress and endothelial adhesion..
