Japanese scientists from the University of Tsukuba have developed a special paint, which professionals have the opportunity to trace the process of formation of cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels and get more information about the causes of these plaques. Report on the work of molecular biologists from Japan published in the journal Scientific Reports.
According to study co-Michito Hamada, with the new design, doctors will be able “just to keep track of how many platelets are present in blood vessels and how fast they grow.” In addition, know-how, you can quickly check how effective are the medications that are prescribed to patients to cleanse the blood vessels from cholesterol.
According to who, the formation of plaque starts with the accumulation of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels, which over time begin to thicken. Furthermore, they observed increased concentrations of calcium and loss of elasticity. Against the background of these disorders to develop atherosclerosis and associated heart disease and blood vessels.
Japanese researchers said that their work has confirmed that the more active the formation of plaques in blood vessels contribute to Smoking, unhealthy diet with lots of fats and synthetic components, and lack of regular exercise.
