Article Synopsis
- - Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the buildup of fats, cholesterol, and immune cells in arteries, leading to the formation of plaques and is influenced by various vascular and immune cells.
- - The regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is crucial for vascular health, as their overproduction can trigger inflammatory pathways that contribute to atherosclerosis progression.
- - In contrast, reactive sulfur species (RSS) may protect against atherosclerosis by counteracting the harmful effects of ROS and RNS, and their role in modifying molecules involved in inflammatory signaling is also reviewed.
