Inhibition of Neointimal Smooth Muscle Accumulation After Angioplasty by an Antibody to PDGF
Gordon A. Ferns,Elaine W. Raines,Katherine H. Sprugel,Alykhan S. Motani,Reidy Michael A,Russell Ross +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endogenous PDGF is involved in the accumulation of neointimal smooth muscle cells associated with balloon injury and may be involved in restenosis after angioplasty, and perhaps in atherogenesis as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory disease processes and interactions with nutrition
Philip C. Calder,Ruud Albers,Jean-Michel Antoine,Stephanie Blum,Raphaëlle Bourdet-Sicard,Gordon A. Ferns,Gert Folkerts,Peter S. Friedmann,Gary Frost,Francisco Guarner,M. Løvik,S. Macfarlane,P. D. Meyer,Laura M'rabet,Mauro Serafini,W. van Eden,J. van Loo,W. Vas Dias,S. Vidry,Brigitte M. Winklhofer-Roob,J. Zhao +20 more
TL;DR: Dietary components including long chain ω-3 fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, plant flavonoids, prebiotics and probiotics have the potential to modulate predisposition to chronic inflammatory conditions and may have a role in their therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy Metal Poisoning and Cardiovascular Disease
Eman M. Alissa,Gordon A. Ferns +1 more
TL;DR: A brief summary of heavy metals homeostasis is given, followed by a description of the available evidence for their link with CVD and the proposed mechanisms of action by which their toxic effects might be explained, and suspected interactions between genetic, nutritional and environmental factors are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of supplementation with curcuminoids on dyslipidemia in obese patients: a randomized crossover trial.
Akram Mohammadi,Amirhossein Sahebkar,Mehrdad Iranshahi,Maral Amini,Roshanak Khojasteh,Majid Ghayour-Mobarhan,Gordon A. Ferns +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that curcuminoid supplementation (1 g/day for 30 days) leads to a significant reduction in serum triglycerides concentrations but do not have a significant influence on other lipid profile parameters as well as body mass index and body fat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut microbiome and metabolic syndrome
TL;DR: Modification of gut microbiota via prebiotics, probiotics or other dietary interventions has provided evidence to support a possible beneficial effect of interventions targeting gut microbiota modulation to treat components or complications of metabolic syndrome.
