Park H, Lee Y, Hennig B, Toborek M
Nutr Cancer . 2002 Jul; 41(1-2):126-34. PMID: 12094615
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) has been reported to play an important role in cancer metastasis via the adhesive interaction between tumor cells and endothelial cells. In this study, we...

Lee Y, Hennig B, Yao J, Toborek M
J Neurosci Res . 2001 Dec; 66(4):583-91. PMID: 11746378
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of methamphetamine (METH)-induced neurotoxicity may involve alterations of cellular redox status and induction of inflammatory genes in endothelial cells. To study these hypotheses, molecular signaling pathways...

Lee Y, Hennig B, Fiala M, Kim K, Toborek M
Brain Res . 2001 Nov; 920(1-2):125-33. PMID: 11716818
Cocaine abuse is frequently associated with cerebrovascular pathology. Although the cellular and molecular mechanisms of these alterations are not fully understood, they may involve oxidative injury or dysfunction of brain...

Lee Y, Kuhn H, Kaiser S, Hennig B, Daugherty A, Toborek M
J Lipid Res . 2001 May; 42(5):783-91. PMID: 11352986
The reticulocyte-type 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO-I) has been implicated in atherogenesis because of its capability of oxidizing low density lipoprotein. Therefore, we investigated the expression of the 15-LO-I gene in human umbilical...

Hennig B, Toborek M, McClain C
J Am Coll Nutr . 2001 May; 20(2 Suppl):97-105. PMID: 11349944
Diets high in fat and/or calories can lead to hypertriglyceridemia and postprandial lipemia and thus are considered a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Plasma chylomicron levels are elevated...

Kaiser S, Toborek M
J Vasc Res . 2001 Apr; 38(2):133-43. PMID: 11316949
Liposome-mediated transfection of endothelial cells provides a valuable experimental technique to study cellular gene expression and may also be adapted for gene therapy studies. However, the widely recognized disadvantage of...

Slim R, Hammock B, Toborek M, Robertson L, Newman J, Morisseau C, et al.
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol . 2001 Mar; 171(3):184-93. PMID: 11243918
Selected dietary lipids may increase the atherogenic effects of environmental chemicals, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), by cross-amplifying mechanisms leading to dysfunction of the vascular endothelium. We have shown previously...
