Endothelial dysfunction - a major mediator of diabetic vascular disease. (2013, background): “Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including type 2 diabetes, are characterized by excess vascular production of ROS [109,110].”
Potential Role of Carotenoids as Antioxidants in Human Health and Disease (2014, background): “One of the classical examples of an ROS-mediated disorder is atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which is the result of oxidative modification of LDL in the arterial walls leading to coronary heart disease [128].”
Pathophysiology of sleep apnea. (2010, background): “High levels of ROS in endothelial, vascular smooth muscle, and adventitial cells are known to initiate atherogenic processes (225).”
Biological markers of oxidative stress: Applications to cardiovascular research and practice (2013, background): “The role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of CVD is well established [7,8].”
