theobromine and Arteriosclerosis

theobromine has been researched along with Arteriosclerosis in 31 studies

Theobromine: 3,7-Dimethylxanthine. The principle alkaloid in Theobroma cacao (the cacao bean) and other plants. A xanthine alkaloid that is used as a bronchodilator and as a vasodilator. It has a weaker diuretic activity than THEOPHYLLINE and is also a less powerful stimulant of smooth muscle. It has practically no stimulant effect on the central nervous system. It was formerly used as a diuretic and in the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, pp1318-9)
theobromine : A dimethylxanthine having the two methyl groups located at positions 3 and 7. A purine alkaloid derived from the cacao plant, it is found in chocolate, as well as in a number of other foods, and is a vasodilator, diuretic and heart stimulator.

Arteriosclerosis: Thickening and loss of elasticity of the walls of ARTERIES of all sizes. There are many forms classified by the types of lesions and arteries involved, such as ATHEROSCLEROSIS with fatty lesions in the ARTERIAL INTIMA of medium and large muscular arteries.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Ten patients with chronic occlusive arteriosclerosis received single oral doses of 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1200 mg pentoxifylline in a single-blind, placebo-controlled study."5.06Dose-response effects of pentoxifylline on erythrocyte filterability: clinical and animal model studies. ( Ambrus, JL; Anain, JM; Anain, PM; Anain, SM; Brobst, JA; Cobert, BL; Mitchell, P; Savitsky, JP; Stadler, S, 1990)
"A study was carried out in 127 patients (94 males and 33 females) presenting with arteriosclerosis (88 patients) or diabetic vasculopathy (39 patients) in different stages of severity (Fontaine) to assess the effectiveness and tolerance of treatment with high doses of pentoxifylline."3.67Results of clinical, laboratory and haemorheological investigations of the use of pentoxifylline in high doses. ( Antignani, PL; Bartolo, M; Pacino, G; Saliceti, F; Todini, AR, 1987)
"Pentoxifylline was used in the treatment of 90 patients with atherosclerosis-induced chronic peripheral arterial occlusive disease and diabetic vascular disorders in the lower extremities (clinical Fontaine Stages III and IV) for whom surgical reconstructive treatment was not indicated and who had shown inadequate response to previous therapy."1.27Clinical investigation of the effects of pentoxifylline in patients with severe peripheral occlusive vascular disease. ( Seige, K; Sternitzky, R, 1985)
"The pentoxifylline-induced increase in RCF was less marked in Group II; only the rigidity parameter was significantly decreased."1.26Effect of pentoxifylline on red cell flexibility in arterio-sclerotic patients and in patients with heart valve prosthesis. ( Harjola, PT; Johnsson, R; Siltanen, P, 1981)
