Does moderate beer consumption change early or mature atherosclerosis in mice?
Moderate beer consumption does not change the development of early or mature atherosclerosis in mice. Our findings do not support the hypothesis of an anti-atherogenic effect of beer. Other potential protective actions of moderate beer consumption such as plaque stabilization, a reduction in plaque intrinsic thrombogenicity, or a reduction in the systemic propensity to thrombosis, remain to be studied.
Antisense oligonucleotides can powerfully suppress IL-2 biosynthesis in vitro and in allograft recipients in vivo, but this does not affect kidney allograft rejection.
