Atherosclerosis / Iron levels
Atherosclerosis Therapy
Research from National University of Singapore, Department of Physics
in the area of atherosclerosis therapy described
February 3rd, 2007
(NewsRx . com ) -- Current study results from the report, "Promotion of
atherogenesis by copper or iron--which is more likely," have been
published. "Iron levels increase in atherosclerotic lesions in
cholesterol fed-rabbits and play a role in atherosclerosis. We
investigated whether copper also rises," scientists writing in the
journal Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications report.
"Male New Zealand White rabbits were fed high-cholesterol diets for
8 weeks. After sacrifice, lesion sizes were determined, and elemental
analyses of the lesion and unaffected artery wall performed using
nuclear microscopy. Unlike iron, lesion copper is decreased by about
half compared with the unaffected artery wall, and much less copper
than iron is present," wrote R. Rajendran and colleagues, National
University of Singapore, Department of Physics.
The researchers concluded: "Our data suggest that iron may be more
likely to play a role in the promotion of atherosclerosis than copper."
Rajendran and colleagues published their study in Biochemical and
Biophysical Research Communications (Promotion of atherogenesis by
copper or iron--which is more likely?. Biochemical and Biophysical
Research Communications, 2007;353(1):6-10).
