Abstract

This monograph will bring out the state-of-the-art advances in the dynamics of cholesterol transport and will address several important issues that pertain to oxidative stress and inflammation. The book is divided into three major sections. The book will offer insights into the roles of specific cytokines, inflammation, and oxidative stress in atherosclerosis and is intended for new researchers who are curious about atherosclerosis as well as for established senior researchers and clinicians who would be interested in novel findings that may link various aspects of the disease.

Abstract

It has been known for over 150 years that hallmarks of inflammation can be observed in the wall of atherosclerotic vessels. It was, however, not clear if this inflammation is the cause or the consequence of atherogenesis. More recently, it has become evident that inflammation mediated both by innate and adaptive immunity is instrumental even in the earliest stages of the development of atherosclerotic lesions, i.e., that it plays an important pathogenetic role. In this volume, international experts in the field discuss the pathogenetic, diagnostic, preventive and possible therapeutic relevance of inflammation in atherogenesis. This book is intended for researchers and physicians in the fields of vascular biology, immunology and atherosclerosis.

Abstract

La placca ateromasica rappresenta l’elemento patogenetico principale di numerosi processi patologici a carico degli apparati cardiovascolare, cerebrovascolare e nefrovascolare. Al fine di prevenire e trattare tali patologie, che rappresentano, per frequenza nella popolazione generale, le principali cause di morte e disabilità nel mondo occidentale, appare necessaria la conoscenza dei principali meccanismi patogenetici alla base dello sviluppo della placca aterosclerotica. In questo volume viene presentata una sintesi aggiornata delle tematiche relative all’eziopatogenesi, alla prevenzione e al trattamento dell’aterosclerosi, dedicando ampio spazio al recente concetto di aterosclerosi come malattia infiammatoria e agli ultimi studi volti ad individuare una possibile eziopatogenesi infettiva del processo. Il testo, rivolto principalmente ai medici di Medicina Generale e agli studenti delle lauree sanitarie, vuole offrire una panoramica sulle attuali conoscenze e sulle nuove teorie formulate in questi ultimi anni. Quest’opera rappresenta pertanto uno strumento di rapido aggiornamento con spunti interessanti per eventuali approfondimenti.
