(author)The present study describes the effects of atorvastatin on whole body synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), prostacyclin (PGI2), and thromboxane A2 (TxA2), on oxidative stress and nitrite/nitrate-related renal carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel...article 2015

(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Background: The burden of cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) patients is variable. We hypothesize that metabolic syndrome (MS) and low-grade systemic inflammation modify the extent of atherosclerosis in DM2. Methods: Vascular phenotype was determined using the following endothelium-related, hemostatic, and sonographic...article 2008

(author), Tamsma, J.T. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)OBJECTIVE - In vitro studies implicate that the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-related protein (LRP) in macrophages has a pro-atherogenic potential. In the present study, we investigated the in vivo role of macrophage specific LRP in atherogenesis independent of its role in the uptake of lipoproteins. METHODS AND RESULTS - We generated...article 2006

(author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)BACKGROUND: Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus have increased levels of hemostatic risk variables for cardiovascular disease, such as fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor (VWF), factor (F)VIIa, d-dimer and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of aggressive vs. standard dose atorvastatin on hemostatic...article 2003
