Deciphering the Role of Copper Homeostasis in Atherosclerosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Targets.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death globally, with atherosclerosis (AS) playing a central role in its pathogenesis as a chronic inflammatory condition. Copper, an essential trace element in the human body, participates in various biological processes and plays a significant role in the cardiovascular system. Maintaining normal copper homeostasis is crucial for cardiovascular health, and dysregulation of copper balance is closely associated with the development of CVD.

The Effect and Mechanism of Oleanolic Acid in the Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome and Related Cardiovascular Diseases.

Metabolic syndromes (MetS) and related cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a serious threat to human health. MetS are metabolic disorders characterized by obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, which increase the risk of CVDs' initiation and development. Although there are many availabile drugs for treating MetS and related CVDs, some side effects also occur.
