nifedipine and Atherosclerosis

nifedipine has been researched along with Atherosclerosis in 8 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

Atherosclerosis: A thickening and loss of elasticity of the walls of ARTERIES that occurs with formation of ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUES within the ARTERIAL INTIMA.

"Nifedipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker, protects against the progression of atherosclerosis."7.76Nifedipine induces peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma activation in macrophages and suppresses the progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. ( Araki, E; Fukuda, K; Ishii, N; Kawada, T; Kim-Mitsuyama, S; Kinoshita, H; Matsumura, T; Miyamura, N; Motoshima, H; Nakao, S; Nishikawa, T; Senokuchi, T; Takeya, M; Tsutsumi, A, 2010)
"Nifedipine GITS was not effective in slowing down the progression of calcium in advanced atherosclerotic plaques in patients with stable angina pectoris."7.74Tracking coronary calcification and atherosclerotic lesions in patients with stable angina pectoris undergoing nifedipine therapy. ( de Brouwer, S; Kirwan, BA; Motro, M; Poole-Wilson, PA; Shemesh, J, 2007)
" We, along with others, have recently found that nifedipine, one of the most widely used DHPs, inhibits apoptotic cell death of endothelial cells (ECs) as well as vascular inflammation and subsequently improves endothelial function in patients with cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension and/or diabetes, thus slowing the development and progression of atherosclerosis in these patients."4.84Role of oxidative stress in the development of vascular injury and its therapeutic intervention by nifedipine. ( Matsui, T; Nakamura, K; Yamagishi, S, 2008)

"Atherosclerosis is the main underlying pathology of cardiovascular disease."2.44Nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system: an overview of its antiatherosclerotic effects. ( Chan, KC; Lin, CS; Lin, MC; Ueng, KC, 2007)
"Nifedipine treatment substantially reduced lipid accumulation and the expression of CD36, SR-A, and protein kinase C (PKC)-θ in human macrophages treated with ox-LDL."1.42Nifedipine inhibits ox-LDL-induced lipid accumulation in human blood-derived macrophages.
