Abstract

Atherosclerosis and its resultant cardiovascular events represent a state of heightened oxidative stress that is commonly thought to contribute to atherogenesis. The aim of this review is to summarize the data linking oxidative events to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Despite abundant data supporting the presence of lipid and protein oxidation in the vascular wall, the poor performance of antioxidant strategies in limiting either atherosclerosis or cardiovascular events from atherosclerosis remain a fundamental problem for implicating oxidative stress as pathophysiologically important. Direct evidence that oxidative stress in general, and the oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein in particular, is both necessary and sufficient for atherosclerosis has been difficult to find. There are many potential reasons for this difficulty, not the least of which is our lack of sufficient knowledge delineating the precise molecular events that beget oxidative stress in the vessel wall, and the precise mediators involved. Further investigation elucidating these oxidative events are required to provide us with the tools to limit oxidative stress at its source and ameliorate all of its secondary phenomena. Only then will we know what components of atherosclerosis are directly due to oxidative stress.

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.
