Probucol and cilostazol exert a combinatorial anti-atherogenic effect in cholesterol-fed rabbits
Abstract
Introduction Probucol (PB) and cilostazol (CZ) both exhibit anti-atherogenic effects. However, their combinatorial effects are unclear. This study was designed to investigate their combinatorial anti-atherogenic effect in cholesterol-fed rabbits. Materials and methods Rabbits were fed a cholesterol diet with PB or CZ alone or both PB and CZ for 16 weeks. The plasma levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, C-reactive protein, superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, and nitric oxide (NO) were measured. The aortic atherosclerotic lesions were grossly and microscopically evaluated. Additionally, in vitro experiments were conducted using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Results and conclusion We found that the PB group and the PB+CZ group exhibited a reduction in the lesion areas (70% in the PB+CZ group, 56% in the PB group) compared with the vehicle group. However, although PB alone and PB+CZ led to a reduction in the lesion size, the histological analysis revealed that only PB+CZ significantly decreased the macrophage accumulation and smooth muscle cell proliferation in the lesions compared with the vehicle group. The plasma levels of total cholesterol in the PB+CZ group were decreased compared with the vehicle group, Moreover, PB+CZ exerted obvious anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Interestingly, the PB+CZ treatment led to a marked increase in the levels of plasma NO. The in vitro experiments showed that the combinatorial treatment up-regul…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
