Circulation
. 2001 Feb;
103(7):1006-11.
PMID: 11181477
Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic and thrombotic vascular disease. In many patients, hyperhomocysteinemia can be treated or prevented by dietary supplementation with B vitamins, but the...

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol
. 1999 Jul;
19(7):1744-50.
PMID: 10397693
To examine the effects of atherosclerosis on the protein C anticoagulant pathway in vivo, we measured anticoagulant responses to intravenous administration of human alpha-thrombin or activated protein C (APC) in...

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol
. 1997 Dec;
17(11):2930-4.
PMID: 9409278
Moderate elevation of plasma homocyst(e)ine is associated with increased risk for atherosclerotic vascular disease. In a previous study, we observed impaired vascular function in nonatherosclerotic monkeys with moderate hyperhomocyst(e)inemia. In...

Arch Ophthalmol
. 1997 Feb;
115(2):220-8.
PMID: 9046257
Background: Ischemic disorders of the retina and optic nerve head, which constitute a common cause of visual loss, are usually seen in patients with atherosclerosis. Objective: To test the hypothesis...

J Clin Invest
. 1996 Jul;
98(1):24-9.
PMID: 8690798
Elevated plasma homocyst(e)ine may predispose to complications of vascular disease. Homocysteine alters vasomotor regulatory and anticoagulant properties of cultured vascular endothelial cells, but little is known about effects of hyperhomocyst(e)inemia...

Stroke
. 1996 May;
27(5):927-33.
PMID: 8623115
Background And Purpose: This study tested the hypothesis that functional abnormalities of carotid and ocular arteries may improve after short-term regression of atherosclerosis, before regression of structural abnormalities. Methods: We...

Arterioscler Thromb
. 1994 Jun;
14(6):951-7.
PMID: 8199187
Constriction in response to serotonin is enhanced in the coronary arteries of atherosclerotic monkeys. The main objective of the present study was to determine whether abnormal responses to serotonin in...

Circulation
. 1994 Apr;
89(4):1810-8.
PMID: 8149547
Background: Vasoconstrictor responses to serotonin are augmented in monkeys with diet-induced atherosclerosis and improve after 18 months of normal diet. We tested the hypothesis that functional improvement may occur early...

Mugge A, Heistad D, Densen P, Piegors D, Armstrong M, Padgett R, et al.
Atherosclerosis
. 1992 Aug;
95(2-3):211-22.
PMID: 1418094
Activated leukocytes release a variety of substances which have been shown in vitro to modulate vascular tone. The chemotactic peptide complement C5a is a physiological activator of leukocytes. We injected...

Circ Res
. 1992 Feb;
70(2):423-9.
PMID: 1735139
Activation of leukocytes in vivo produces marked constriction of large arteries in atherosclerotic, but not in normal, monkeys. We tested the hypotheses that vasoconstrictor responses to activated leukocytes in vivo...
