Underlying Mechanisms of the Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects of Quercetin in Human Aortic Endothelial Cells : Implications for Vascular Inflammation and Atherosclerosis

Creator:

Li, Chuan

Abstract:

Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of ischemic heart disease and stroke and is the leading cause of death worldwide, especially in developed countries. As an inflammatory disease of arteries in a hyperlipidemic milieu, expression of adhesion molecules, such as endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (E-selectin) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), on endothelial...

Age-related loss of Nrf2, a novel mechanism for the potential attenuation of xenobiotic detoxification capacity

Creator:

Smith, Eric Jonathan

Abstract:

Nuclear Factor, Erythroid Derived 2, Like 2 (NFE2L2 or Nrf2) is the primary transcription factor in cellular defense against oxidative and xenobiotic stresses in higher eukaryotes. This basic leucine zipper transcription factor regulates over 200 antioxidant, detoxification, and lipid metabolizing genes by binding to the Antioxidant Response Element (ARE; a...
