The incidence of cerebrovascular diseases increases dramatically with aging, although with more alarming rates in females. In fact, in women over 50 years old, cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the third cause of death and the leading cause physical and cognitive disability worldwide. Aging in women is fully correlated with the reduction of endogenous levels of estrogen, and studies have …
Increase of abdominal fat has been appointed as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Many are the conditions in which fat mass is increased in the abdominal region, including high-fat diet, aging , menopause.In all cases, the augment of visceral fat is associated to chronic inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk. In spite of this, there is no direct evidence on h…

Emerging evidence suggests that in addition of being the "power houses" of our cells, mitochondria facilitate effector responses of the immune system. Cell death and injury result in the release of mitochondrial DNA (mitDNA) that acts via Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), a pattern recognition receptor of the immune system, which detects bacterial and viral DNA but not vertebrate DNA. The ab…
Arterial hypertension is considered as a main risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVDs). As a consequence, hypertension, leads to cardiac hypertrophy and a low degree chronic inflammation, with an increase in circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines. Toll-Like Receptors (TLR) family was identified as one of the major factors involved in innate immune response and its …

The increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in postmenopausal women has been linked to the decrease in plasma estrogen levels. The risk-benefits of estrogen treatment in carried out on aged women, who were on average, 10 years past the onset of postmenopausal women may, in part, be explained by age disparity among studies. The cardiovascular effects of estrogen treatment in experimental…
