Effect of atorvastatin on circulating proinflammatory T-lymphocyte subsets and soluble CD40 ligand in patients with stable coronary artery disease--a randomized, placebo-controlled study.
Influence of genetic polymorphisms in oxidative stress related genes and smoking on plasma MDA-LDL, soluble CD40 ligand, E-selectin and soluble ICAM1 levels in patients with coronary artery disease.
Both EA-pretreatment and routine EA of PC 6 and BL 15 can down-regulate blood TC, TG and HDL contents, raise serum HDL level and suppress the increased expression of CD 40 L and MMP-9 proteins of coronary artery tissue in rats with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, which may contribute to their effect in improving CHD.
