Fourteen physically inactive men (mean age, 34.7 +/- 4.0 years) and 12 regularly active men (34.8 +/- 4.0 years) performed two exercise sessions, morning and evening, at 50% of maximal oxygen consumption. Tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity were measured before and after exercise. Data were analyzed using a three-way ANOVA with repeated measures. TPA activity increased with exercise in both groups, although the active group demonstrated greater increases than the inactive group. Postexercise TPA activity was greater with evening than morning exercise. The inactive group exhibited greater PAI-1 activity than the active group. PAI-1 activity was higher during the morning than evening but did not change with exercise for either group. We conclude that moderate intensity exercise increases TPA activity in physically active and inactive men, with greater increases seen in active men, particularly during evening exercise. Moderate intensity exercise does not appear to affect PAI-1 activity. The lower PAI-1 activity in active men may be one mechanism whereby regular physical activity lowers the risk for coronary artery disease.","PeriodicalId":8408,"journal":{"name":"Arteriosclerosis and thrombosis : a journal of vascular biology","volume":"1 1","pages":"1746-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85615365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addressed the question of the relative importance of thrombin in the early and late phases of thrombogenesis. The effect of Ro 46-6240 (1.43 mg/kg bolus and 0.1 mg/kg per minute i.v.), a novel, selective thrombin inhibitor on thrombogenesis induced by rabbit aorta subendothelium, was measured ex vivo in a perfusion chamber model after a short (5-minute) and long (30-minute) exposure time to rabbit native blood. The role of the perfusion time was assessed at shear rates of 100/s, 650/s, and 2600/s. These shear rates mimic blood flow conditions found in veins, arteries, and small or stenosed arteries, respectively. Fibrin deposition and platelet thrombus formation on subendothelium were evaluated by microscopic morphometry. In the presence of Ro 46-6240, fibrin deposition was abolished at both perfusion times and at all shear rates. In the 5-minute experiments, thrombus height was reduced by Ro 46-6240 at shear rates of 100/s (85%) and 650/s (35%) but not at a shear rate of 2600/s, whereas thrombus area was not affected at any shear rate.

Pigs were fed low-fat, cholesterol-free diets. Total plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol decreased 18%, 29%, 40%, and 26% respectively (P < .03). 131I-VLDL and 125I-LDL were injected simultaneously into each animal, and apoB kinetics were analyzed by using multi-compartmental analysis (SAAM30). VLDL apoB pool size decreased significantly by 60% (0.32 versus 0.84 mg/kg), which was due to a 65% reduction in the VLDL apoB production or secretion rate (1.03 versus 2.94 mg.kg-1.h-1). The fractional catabolic rate was unchanged. LDL apoB pool size decreased nonsignificantly by 18% (5.61 versus 6.90 mg/kg) due entirely to a 24% decrease in production rate (0.26 versus 0.34 mg.kg-1.h-1). At necropsy, hepatic microsomal ACAT activity decreased by 68% (0.28 versus 0.88 nmol.min-1.mg-1; P < .0002). Although an increase in hepatic free cholesterol leading to a decreased LDL receptor expression might be expected, this did not occur. The concentration of hepatic cholesterol and the LDL apoB fractional catabolic rate were unaffected by DuP 128. In addition, the concentration of hepatic triglyceride and the activity of diacylglycerol acyltransferase were not altered by DuP 128, indicating a lack of effect of DuP 128 on hepatic triglyceride metabolism.

We investigated the expression of LRP/alpha 2-MR in healthy and atherosclerotic human arteries by in situ hybridization using an LRP/alpha 2-MR mRNA-specific riboprobe and immunocytochemistry using specific monoclonal antibodies. The cell types expressing LRP/alpha 2-MR were identified by immunolabeling of antigens specific for endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages. In normal arteries, LRP/alpha 2-MR mRNA and protein were found in smooth muscle cells of the media and vasa vasorum and in adventitial fibroblasts. Endothelial cells were negative for LRP/alpha 2-MR protein but positive for its mRNA. Atherosclerotic arteries exhibited a strong labeling for LRP/alpha 2-MR mRNA and protein that was observed in intimal smooth muscle cells exhibiting normal or foam cell characteristics and in lipid-laden cells positive for macrophage markers. A particularly high expression was detected in macrophages located in the cap of the lipid-rich necrotic core. These results suggest that cellular components of the atherosclerotic plaque express LRP/alpha 2-MR.

Whereas all members of the SAA family, including SAA5, responded to endotoxin administration, SAA5 contrasted with other SAAs in its resistance to induction either by a high-fat, high-cholesterol atherogenic diet or the injection of mildly oxidized LDL (MM-LDL). These data provide further evidence that the induction of inflammatory molecules by oxidized lipids is selective. In atherosclerosis-susceptible C57BL/6 mice and atherosclerosis-resistant C3H/HeJ mice, the inflammatory SAA isotypes (SAA1, SAA2, and SAA3) responded in a strain-specific manner to oxidized lipids either generated with feeding of the atherogenic diet or introduced by MM-LDL injection.

Furthermore, this group included significantly more patients with low-molecular-weight apo(a) isoforms (26.9% versus 8.5%, P < .005) and had significantly higher mean Lp(a) plasma concentrations (29.3 +/- 31.0 versus 19.7 +/- 25.7 mg/dL, P < .05).

Confirmation that the major proteolytic activity observed at 80 kD is MMP-9 was also demonstrated by immunoprecipitation of the activity with specific antibody. Comparative immunoblots of tissue extracts from 10 typical AAA patients, using specific antibody against MMP-9, revealed bands at 92, 82, 67, 51 through 53, 27, 23, and 20 kD under reducing conditions; six aortic control specimens displayed negligible immunoreactivity. This report is the first to show that known activated forms of MMP-3 and MMP-9 are present in the aneurysmal aortic wall and that they may play a role in the destruction of aortic matrix in AAA disease.","PeriodicalId":8408,"journal":{"name":"Arteriosclerosis and thrombosis : a journal of vascular biology","volume":"14 8","pages":"1315-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1161/01.atv.14.8.1315","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19042604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
