Sinossi

This truly unique volume provides a broad spectrum of techniques and assays pertinent for experimental atherosclerosis research. Practical information regarding sample collection, choice of model system, experimental design, and data analysis techniques are provided in each chapter. In addition novel animal models are discussed including genetically engineered mice. Traditional and newer methods for identifying and separating classes and subclasses of lipoproteins are included along with assays for more recently identified plasma proteins implicated in atherogenesis, such as cholesteryl ester transfer protein, homocysteine, glycated lipoproteins, and apolipoprotein. Chapters describe the isolation and culture of cells and clycosaminoglycans from atherosclerotic plaques and further elaborate on in vivo techniques for the collection and analysis of experimental atherosclerotic lesions. Finally, a comprehensive presentation of gene therapies is given, and is accompanied by a highly practical technique that has been successfully implemented in pigs. The compilations in this manual will benefit those researchers in pursuit of understanding, diagnosing, treating, and ultimately preventing atherosclerosis.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Atherosclerosis-a major killer of people in Western societies-is not yet completely understood. In Atherosclerosis: Methods and Protocols, Angela Drew and a panel of experts have assembled a comprehensive collection of traditional and cutting-edge techniques for investigating this disease and its possible treatments. Each readily reproducible method includes step-by-step instructions and practical information regarding sample collection, the choice of animal model system, experimental design, and practical data analysis techniques. Assay systems for serum or plasma determination of lipoproteins are also described, along with assays for those plasma proteins recently identified as implicated in atherogenesis, including cholestryl ester transfer protein, homocysteine, glycated lipoproteins, and apolipoprotein(a). Additional techniques cover the isolation and culture of cells and glycosaminoglycans from atherosclerotic plaques, and the collection and analysis of experimental atherosclerotic lesions.
Comprehensive and richly detailed, Atherosclerosis: Methods and Protocols enables all biomedical investigators to select those optimized techniques that may be most fruitfully used to study the development, progression, and treatment of atherosclerotic lesions today.
